naval23 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) "Come On Over" was a 1997 album that initially debuted at #2 with 172k copies in November 1997. It would go on to sell 20M in the USA, and received its highest sales in its 110th week during Christmas 1999 when it sold 355,000 copies, over 2 years after its release. "Lover" debuted at #1 in August 2019, and is currently charting at #10 in its 200th week - something we really haven't seen since "Come On Over" in the sense that an album that debuted high and still had massive longevity years later. Lover is her "You're Still the One" "You Need to Calm Down" is her "Man I Feel Like a Woman" ME! is her "That Don't Impress Me Much" She still needs her "From This Moment" though Edited June 27, 2023 by naval23
youreyesgocold Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) No. Come on Over had 12 fire songs served as singles. Lover had 3 duds and 2 fire songs as singles (and one of the good ones was 3 years late). But it’s cute that you think Lover should even be in the same conversation Edited June 27, 2023 by youreyesgocold 1
KOMH Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Come On Over is actually a good and consistent album so no by default! 2
Scott Borchetta Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 The setup Isn't Come On Over the best selling female studio album ever or at least close to it Lover isn't even the best selling female album of 2019
Katamari Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 (edited) this is a stretch and you know it Edited June 27, 2023 by Katamari

Achilles. Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 The nerve of comparing Shania’s third-best diamond album to Taylor’s career low. 1
Goaty Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Come On Over was blocked from debuting at #1? Proof that this accolade really doesn’t mean much in the end. 1
CottageHore Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 No. Come On Over was next-level massive, so it seems (I was a fetus). I know every single off that album by heart just because they were all so big when I was young. Lover has similarities with its success but overall, Lover is her weakest album commercially and sonically

Yes it debuted at #2 with 172k sales and then stayed at #2 the following week with only a -1% drop in sales to 170k - both were behind different debuts, truly unlucky
ttsmu Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Imagine comparing the mediocrity of Taylor Swift's music to Shania Twain 1 1 6
Taylor fanboy Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 I wanted to joke about the parallels of their singles, Shania has 12 per wikipedia. Not worth it. You can’t spell Lover without Over! 1
Walk_Away21 Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Lover has some good songs but NO. Come On Over is fillerless, iconic, better, etc.
Rebel Lion Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 I wish she would update that hideous cover. It's giving art is my passion 1

ninasayers Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 No, but it's still insanely impressive how huge Lover has become. Does anyone know where it'll end up in her discography? Success-wise, I mean.
tshwark Posted June 27, 2023 Posted June 27, 2023 Who dares to compare You are still the one with anything related to lover, disgusting. 1
