Anti peaked at #7 in the UK, the second biggest international market . Aside from the US and Canada, it reached #1 in only one other country, Norway. 

Y'all are really on page 30 rehashing the same points from twenty pages ago

Despite the tonnes of music and the tour swifties don't really seem to have much of anything to do other than be bitter and argue

Anti was international and global with a longevity to boot. I am sorry but where did you get the idea, that Anti was not anything other than worldwide and far-reaching. It literally sold more globally than it did in America. Literally it is the 4th longest charting album by a female artist on Billboard.

I think you had enough receipts and evidence in this thread of what I'm saying 

ANTI didn't do great numbers outside the US compared to her previous albums and thats a fact.... Look at the chartruns,YE placements and you'll get it

Anti was released in the streaming era. All you need is one or two big hits and you can chart forever. If we’re talking about the actual sales chart then it charted for 65 weeks. Which is on par with unapologetic’s 59 weeks.  Billboard in 2012 was pure sales only. So once your album stops selling it stops charting.

Okay, that's a point

 

The thread is still discussing about eras.

Oh my gosh…why does this have 31 pages? It’s not that deep. 

[KillingYourCareer]

Music obviously... I mean it had global smash hit singles on top of great sales. The other two only had one of these two elements.

The way I left this thread on page 6 thinking that was it and it would die soon, only to come back after a busy weekend and it’s 31 pages

There is no way you can convince each other , leave it

initially, yes, but it ended up performing better than Unapologetic, Rated R, and her first 2 albums, internationally. It might also overtake TTT eventually

It had bigger hits, sure, but Cardigan (1.7M) does more streams than LOTB (600k), Needed Me (450k), Work (300k), and KIB (250k) on Spotify every day combined, so those big hits have obviously not lasted.

Ik this is an old-ass comment and I'm not trying to reignite some argument but I just remembered it while looking at current numbers: LOTB is now averaging over 800k streams daily, Needed Me's at around 640k, Work's at 350k, and KIB's at 300k. I'd say these big hits have obviously lasted.

We should just stop making polls. Swifties have invaded ATRL and ruin every poll these days

The amount of people in here that were denying the obvious answer/trying the argue that folklore is the least successful album of the 3

'folklore' of course.

Global units, longevity, critical acclaim, AOTY Grammy… it clears the other two.

 

'folklore' was the 13th biggest album of 2023, and even now on a Sunday is getting 7M+ streams daily. Neither of the other two albums have had the lasting power that 'folklore' has had.

Yes! A website I'm being told that you used to love and claim for receipts before it became inconvenient for you/your favorite artist.

Name one big publication/media that uses data from chartmasters or cites them as a source

 

If we go by official data Anti still has more certified units in the US alone than folklore has worldwide lol
