[305]

I think we need to separate Taylor from the music industry atp, like it's ridiculous

[WildHeart]

And the year is not even over yet, she will probably end up with 23.5-24M units

Those count shipment , the way you all don't know IFPI charts work atp. IFPI counts shipments 

Plus these 22.4m sales are 3 weeks before December ends

she is averaging more than 500k weekly worldwide , do your math

Don't you mean 21.6M? The math doesn't add up.

[Klein]

This is the biggest yearly album units of ALL TIME 

 

This is beyond insane at this point. The entire world is EATING up her music.

Maybe you should go back to school  

 

Also, these are SHIPMENTS  

[Yuanyu]

Considering that it is a figure that is not known for any artist, it is the most absurd and false record I have ever seen

And according to you, who possibly had a bigger year?

And I love seeing the one Eminem fan on this website run in to defend his honor when Taylor breaks a record you think he should have 

 

Just because this wasn’t a widely discussed record (and why would it be, MJ died 13 years ago and no one has been close to breaking it since) doesn’t mean it doesn’t count. There are plenty of people in the industry who want to see Taylor fall, if these numbers were truly fake, Scooter would have TMZ screaming about it already

and I bought all 43 copies of Midnights

[Bindi]

[Margaux]

oh wow. now let’s see how many copies per person each album have. 

[MingYouToo]

I was responsible for 100 of those units, being the 100 versions of Midnights which was the only reason she sold 1.5M

When that’s all you have left… sad, you would think it’s ironic coming from a kpop fan though

Let’s not disrespect Thriller and The Bodyguard who sold more WW alone in 1983 and 1993, respectively.

Oops, misread the title and didn't notice the "this century". My bad.
