Squall Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 Just now, Cruel Summer said: So the Billboard article is definitely just not counting preorders, then, which may have been under 1m but we’re still extremely high. HDD wouldn’t put out this second prediction if there were a real issue reporting the numbers. BUT if we go by 900k preorders, wasn't she at 1.270M pure sales after 3 days since they reported 370k though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

omrimayo Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 How IION? became top 3 of that masterpiece that called 1989? WTF happened, I'm just obsessed with every song from the Vault, but this one is something else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ms. Togekiss Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 They must’ve overestimated the preorders. There was no official confirmation that she had crossed 1M in preorders, there was no official number on preorders at all. She must’ve had ~800-900k and the rest she sold during this week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catch22 Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 This is probably my favourite vault. I mean Red vault has higher highs, but also weaker songs. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not hearing any of these mixing or clicking issues people are whinging about The clicking noise is kind of like a pop rocks, fizzy crackling noise more than ‘clicking’ and it’s in the left ear more than the right. It also is only in the second verse that I can hear it. I didn’t notice it until some people pointed it out but now I can’t unhear it I don’t personally hear the buzzing or clicking noises in any other songs though, except in the NR intro but it’s VERY faint there. So maybe my earphones aren’t good enough quality or I just can’t hear those frequencies lol. I’m fine with that either way! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said I was bullied either Do you have anything else to do other than berate people for expressing an opinion that is different from you? You seem to constantly have issues with people who say even the slightest negative comments/opinions on the album. Not everything has to be positive. Also just @ me next time lol this. and also both things can absolutely be true at the same time. The album is doing amazing! Amazing numbers and the GP seems to love it, AND it also does have some production/mixing errors (buzzing, clicks, layering on a few tracks, clearly evident by the spectrogram). The majority of people, especially those without a trained ear, might not pick up on those things or even care about them if they do, which is fine, but it doesn't excuse the fact that those errors exist and how for an artist of Taylor's caliber are completely inexcusable. OT: I loveee how HYGTG is even more punchier during the chorus than the OG. The Kick drum like really BUMPS now. 15/10 now when it was a cute 8/10 for me on the OG. And the "saying it's gonna be ALRIGHTTTT" going into the second chorus on SIO is literally perfection. Her tone. Her delivery. Eats the OG up! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headlock Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 I have a wild thought: how about y’all chill out about ~preorders~ and we’ll assume HDD knows more about album sales than a bunch of twinks on the internet tracking random code on Taylor’s website 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s possible they were more like 800k or that maybe like 100k were filtered for being above the normal limit per customer. 1.5m and 1.2m are generalized enough for rounding to affect it, too.

Starchild Posted October 31, 2023 Share Posted October 31, 2023 didn't BB say it was 550k in the article with streaming? so 900k+550k would be the 1.45 no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
