Eh, Taylor's got this imo and it's not close. Also, she hasn't even released the 3AM edition on physical yet, nor the LH music video. She has a few things left up her sleeve to keep the #1 after this week.

SZA lost 

Maybe she can write another song to keep her up past midnight.

For 'Midnights':

First Tuesday prediction: 107k SPS // 46k sales

Updated Tuesday prediction: 116.5k SPS // 55k sales

Final prediction: 124.6k SPS // 64.7k sales // 58.7k SEA

Billboard: 117k SPS // 58k sales

 

For 'SOS':

First Tuesday prediction: 113k SPS // 240 sales

Updated Tuesday prediction: 118k SPS // 240 sales

Final prediction: 124.4k SPS // 3.3k sales // 120.7k SEA

Billboard: 125k SPS // 3k sales // 121.5k SEA

The fact that the final numbers for Midnights is closer to the Updated prediction than the final prediction, while SOS was closer to the final prediction, suggests that maybe some of the sales for Midnights were filtered out.

Meh I don’t care for either. I just like instigating from both sides. Like I said before though, Sza’s pure sales are pathetic.

Thanks

 

So SZA did 8-9k better in streaming than initially estimated and Taylor 2k worse. That makes SZA the clear favorite for this week too

 

But a 12k sales boost from the digital albums is pretty good for Taylor. 

Updated Tuesday prediction: 116.5k SPS // 55k sales

Actually this prediction was before the digital sales were even released which was accurate with Billboard's numbers. So I am guessing they either got filtered out or it didn't actually sell much since I've seen most of the fandom complaining and not wanting it.

It wasnt before 

They mentioned the new digital versions in the short text with those numbers.

 

The pure arent randomly selling 9k more in week 11
