Rep has a multi week #1 single

And multi week #1 album

 

In 2017, almost 6 years ago. But time is the ultimate truth teller

Lover is not big as Red or Fearless anywhere

 

Everybody knows YBWM , LS , WANGEBT,  IKYWT 

 

Two singles from each =/= overall commercial success outside US 

 

Also Red and Fearless are absolutely more relevant/known albums than Lover, I’m not saying otherwise, just that Lover commercially performed better outside US than both of those. Which is only natural anyway since both of the former albums were country releases during the digital era.

 

Ofc Fearless and Red will always have the edge in US even with Lover pulling these massive numbers (deserved, anyways)

It's important to remember that Self-Titled is the longest charting album of the 00s in the US. I mean that's quite impressive considering how different he music industry was back then.

Thank you!

It’s still her 7th biggest globally.  It will surpass debut this year before it gets surpassed by midnights.

Suuuuuuure, keep telling yourself that 

 

The way people are so desperate to hate on Reputation is beyond weird at this point. And it's only happening on pop forums for some reason.

I don’t even hate Reputation, but saying it was more successful or remembered than Lover is factually wrong. Just look at their streams and chart runs. Lover tops Reputa in every metric.

Not surprised. Loser is like the entry level Taylor Swift album for locals to get into

Tbh this. It's poppy enough to be accessible to everyone and has her usual songwriter-driven (and mostly strong) deep cuts.

You're saying this like a drag, it's what should be happening. One album has a smash hit and the other one doesn't. Thank you flowers

yes you're right.. Lana the ''albums'' artist should be selling less...

She is selling more though. It's just that her streams aren't boosted by a hit that brings in 15k album units every week on its own unfortunately.

[Junlin]

the album is not even good... but if she releases cruel summer i don't mind it going back to 

[mxoonlight]

Evermore is a smash too   It re-entered the top 40 with tour and is still sitting at #34 (=) after three weeks, though it was already doing well before. Plus it surges every fall/winter season. Only two albums from 2020 (one being folklore) are currently charting above it. Obviously it’s not a smash on the level of some of the others (I mean Lover being at #10 after 3.5 years is incomparable nn) but it still stands on its own and is worthy of being called such a thing with its amazing longevity.

 

Speaking of which — hopefully it will be top 40 for several more weeks, I wish HDD posted the full top 50 on their initial projections

It’s not too late to release Cruel Summer as a single…. Wonder why artists don’t release singles from past albums.
