Predictions originally said less thank 1k gap…I think 200 units

 

8k is actually far from what we all thought

SZA 

Well considering HDD had Taylor being 200 units ahead of SZA, SZA being 8k ahead on the official chart is big.

 

 

Ah, I see. That explains it 

[ariesgroove]

YES SOLANA! 

[slw84]

Good for SZA

[Literature]

Help-

[bad guy]

Good Days indeed  Playing dirty never ends well.

It sold 56k pure copies so they were here for those copies but they stopped the mass streaming parties I guess

Well, Midnights is still doing 16-17M daily streams and would still be #2 without any pure sales, so I'm not sure what is there to drag regarding its streaming units. 

 

Congrats to SZA. She fought and won.

Did the Midnight copies not count? 

 

Not folks trying to downplay that stunt Taylor pulled and relinquishing all congrats to SZA. It's not hard to let another female artist have their moment. It was messy and there was no excuse for that last minute the second it was stated how close #1 and #2 were.

 

 

SOS was already #1 for 3 weeks before today and it eventually falling to #2 wouldn't take anything away from SZA's success

the better album won

Ofc it would, it just became the first female R&B album to spend 4 weeks at #1 in 30 years

[Chika]

how is 8k a big gap tho? I was expecting like 20k at least seeing everyone laughing in this thread lol 

 

Because everyone was expecting Taylor to have a 30k gap over SZA 

 

And when HDD predicted 124k for both some Swifties were saying they were underestimating Taylor   

[Blade Runner]

The white demon LOST. lol

[Literature]

It's a shame she had to resort to greed and desperate tactics

It wouldn't take away from her success. But it would block a black woman from a very important achievment that hasn't been seen in 30 years. Yall have to realize how marginilized black and female artists really are. Yall celebrate Tayor literally everyday for her massive success but fail to acknowldge her appeal as a white woman. Releasing those digital albums like that in the midst of a underrepresented miniority having so much success was nasty work. You have to know when to scale back. If we all know Taylor wil lnaturally go back to #1, why did she do that?

[Lovett]

That's a huge achievement for SZA! Congratulations to her, well deserved.

[Summer Boy]

Talent won  Kill Bill is SOTY

But wait 8k of difference? 

 

125k Vs 117k

 

It seems like Swifties weren't here for those cheap digital copies this time  

Or Billboard filtered the sales as suspicious/fraudulent. 

[roso]

Congrats to both women it's so rare to have two female albums smash simultaneously, but of course people here wouldn't appreciate that

[modeblock]

poor that desperate, greedy ecoterrorist

[EdgeofTeeth]

Taylor congratulate her challenge

She didn't even have to. Her sales are 3k units. The gap between her and Taylor is 8k units. She would have won either way.
