They would deliver it to your doorstep for free if you bought a pizza worth at least $13. A free giveaway basically 

No. https://ir.papajohns.com/news-releases/news-release-details/papa-johns-teams-taylor-swift-highly-anticipated-red-release

 

Don't try to rewrite history when the receipts are still very available

$22 for the CD + a large one topping pizza (that wasn't even above $10).

to add Red to any order for only $13 

 

So the CD was $13. Reading comprehension is in a dire call for help if you think that means they were free.

Yes, Music is above the other two. According to CM:

 

Music - 13.963M

folklore - 10.849M

ANTI - 10.597M

Worth considering is the average daily unit gain from streaming:

Music - 13.963M (+90)

folklore - 10.849M (+9060)

ANTI - 10.597M (+3100)

 

In one year from today, assuming the daily gain holds steady (which isn't a guarantee, but doesn't seem outlandish given the age of the albums and their average performance over time), the ranking will be:

 

Music - 13.996M

folklore - 14.156M

ANTI - 11.728M

Music is the biggest on Chartmasters now, but that will no longer be the case in 365 days at the rate things are going and have gone for the past few years

OT: It's funny to see certain Swifites that act like they are above trolling in here..... trolling.  

Let's not act that it wasn't because of the Samsung copies

Maybe it's because it's not certified yet. Anti is 6 years old and folklore 2 years old  Certifications take time and don't happen in the first years of an album

Okay then, Taylor's certifications never happen on time (if ever). Rihanna's label might have partnered with Samsung to make sure ANTI was platinum the minute the album was released (and then certified it the minute they could), but Taylor and her team have never bothered with the theatrics of certifications in that way. Her success is validated elsewhere

Does Taylor’s CSPC on chartmasters include her 39 cent single sales for Willow and Red being given in Pizza Boxes?

1. The Red CD was standard price  Not to mention Red sold 2X what Rated R did and 6X what ANTI did  

 

2. Are you comparing 1 million FREE copies of an entire album to like 100k $0.39 copies of 1 single

Those 1M copies were literally purchased by Samsung in a deal worth $25M and given away for free to the fans afterwards. Keyword: purchased. ANTI was bound to go platinum even if we didn’t get a free copy because samsung purchased a million copies. This narrative of a free RIAA certification is so flawed. Also, those 39 cent willow sales definitely made up some of evermore’s overall units (even if minute).

Not even 100k, it did 59k and that includes the full priced ones.

They were 59k total (full priced and discounted singles), considering cardigan was fully priced and sold more (71k) only a few months earlier, it's safe to assume not many digital sales were last minute when the discount striked. Even if ALL those 59k were 39 cents, it would only translate to less than 6k albums, the dramatics of pretending it even matters or that it's a valid point in contrast to 1 MILLION FREE albums.

What’s the point of bringing up the samsung deal? Those sales didn’t get logged into Billboard, chartmasters or whatever and i believe were cancelled by RIAA once ANTI went multiplatinum. ANTI is still massively successful without them :
