poll Most successful 8th album: Anti x folklore x Music?

[sasashite]

All of them are very successful. Which one is the biggest?

[Popboi.]

Music.

 

folklore is getting close to being bigger but it’s going to take a while, Anti might surpass it too eventually but would take longer than folklore.

[LiamVillain]

the one still in top 10 three years after its release

[Avenger]

Music I think, I don’t follow charts but I remember the title track was everywhere when it came around. 

[sasashite]

A year ago I said folklore was bigger than Music and ATRL went after me because they shouldn't even be compared.

[Johnny Jacobs]

The one with the one version and was released almost 8 years ago

[Trent W]

I think that Anti and folklore are bigger than music

 

I would say Anti is bigger than folklore because of the hits only.

 

The 2 albums by themselves are head to head on each other in success, quality and importance for their career

[Sergi91]

Music was bigger and didn’t need steaming or release dozens of different versions of the same album + Madonna was in her 40s.

[Madonno]

Music by far

It sold more, Madonna was in her 40s

[Gladiator]

The obvious answer is folklore.

[AxelFox]

Most of you have not even lived through Music to even be able to compare. 
 

It was the biggest by far. 

[By the Water]

It's obviously folklore and no amount of *vibes* and nostalgia will change that

 

[PoisonedIvy]

Music 

 

makes the people

 

come together

 

Anti and folklore feel bigger but I was only 3 or 4 when Music came out so I can’t really accurately judge.
 

Ew though @ the people trying to take a dig at Anti and folklore just for the year they came out, sorry the music industry is more accessible to everyone now  are we supposed to feel bad about that? 

[Axelios]

Anti >= Folklore (will surpass it in the future) > Music.

I can already see the tired "Music sold more!!!" arguments used to claim it is bigger when Music was probably not even among the top 10 biggest albums of its year unlike Anti and Folklore.

Feels like ANTI for now, but Folklore might overtake it if it keeps charting this high for a while longer

"I didn't need streaming"

 

Oh boomers...

 

It just needed a better climate where albums used to sell 20 million copies and still Music barely cracked 10 million (unlike Britney, Eminem, Linkin Park, Backstreet Boys, etc).

[State of Grace.]

Objectively and factually, folklore. The best, most successful, and most acclaimed ALBUM.

It’s so dumb to compare sales from the 90s to streaming from the 2020s

 

The reality is that Anti and Folklore are more important that each of their career’s than Music was for Madonna.

 

Folklore elevated Taylor and make her more respected, same for Anti to Rihanna, lowkey gave them legend status.

 

 

[UseYourIllusion2002]

Ray of Light is Madonna’s 8th album if we include I’m Breathless 

that actually is a pretty nice set up with Folklore and Anti. 

[ugo]

folklore>anti>music 

[FolkLover1989]

Folklore is extremely global so that gives it a bit of more leverage 

Soon to be 2x plat in UK too. Also Folklore is already near 11m units and no stopping it ( these are chartmasters units so label units will be even more)

 

Folklore gets boost every August too.

Then I would have to include Who's That Girl. And Madonna's 8th album would be Bedtime Stories.

[halcyonday]

Folklore by FAR now. We're in 2023.

[istan4badgalriri]

the delusion in the results is crazy

 

literally only bc swifties run ATRL these days

[Solaria]

The one that sold 10 million worldwide and had a lead single that went No.1 in 17 countries
