He is still an American artist. 

It's true, usually Puerto Rican artists are #1'in the US

Taylor queen of no.2 indeed.

I admire the effort by some to pain this as a L for Taylor in any way lol

 

I hope Benito gets something in the Grammys, especially if Harry is a frontrunner. It’s been an amazing year for him and the album is here to stay. Biggest male in the game and without accommodating anglo audiences that much. A summertime classic

I guess Gaga fans had to convince themselves over the last decade the lower the numbers the more impressive 

I mean

Is the calendar year over now? So Taylor just missed #1 by less than 100k units?

If it makes you feel any better there aren’t any official charts that use calendar year, so even if it was #1 it wouldn’t mean anything.

Yeah, but it is still would have been more  impressive to say that Midnights is the #1 best-selling album of 2022. But #2 is not that bad, it is just so close to #1, which is annoying.

The only thing they can brag now is the percentage of change for each Gaga release because they are all too low

3.3 mil in 2 months is ABSURD. That's 1989-levels of performance.

Oh I just know Taylor is fuming knowing she released 1 tracking week too late to be #1

The Nielsen year-end charts are official and they are based on calendar year. They will probably be posted next week

 

This was the one posted last year:

text book definition of the pot calling the kettle black

[Holiest Dreams]

Literally imagine trying to shade an album that got 3.3M units in 10 weeks in 2022  probably the fastest the reach 3M since…..? Views? 25?

 

Bad Bunny slayed tho. Insane year and success for him. Yeah it sucks that Taylor missed just barely but I’m glad it to was a genuine juggernaut  

[Cloröx]

Morgan racist Wallen really is coming for the biggest album of the decade 

[ronelmaano13]

30 barely outsold folklore. A 2 year old album did that!
