naval23 Posted June 27, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youreyesgocold Posted June 27, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goaty Posted June 27, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CottageHore Posted June 27, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor fanboy Posted June 27, 2023 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
