Yes but it works best when you have different artworks. The different colors are cute but different covers are gorgeous, and you know gorgeous is gonna devour cute.

Technically there are 5 different covers (6 if you consider the picture disc). There are "G", "U", "T" and "S" variants where the ring she is wearing for each letter is a different color dddd so if you collect them all you get the full title spelled out. More importantly though, each variant features a bonus track unique to that pressing so I think that's an even greater incentive to purchase. It's a fun marketing tool I think. :jonny:

I think this prediction will go up. I can see it nearing or crossing 300k when all is said and done.

Apparently 12 vinyl variants and multiple CDs don't get you a 1M+ debut. Who'd have thought :gaycat5:

in all honesty though there's nothing exciting about her concept for consumers to buy. its literally sour outtakes :rip:

So why didn't she just do that? It would've been substantially cheaper to have 4 variants with different covers as opposed to 12 alternate pressings with 2 covers among them. Seems like an oversight on her team's part.

I feel like picking out different colors for the wax is way cheaper than doing multiple photoshoots. It probably didn’t cost them anything more than pressing black variants only.

Olivia has an exclusive deluxe track for 4 vinyl variants, which is a big incentive to collect them given they are not on streaming yet.

Idk why people are expecting her to outdo Sour when it already had multiple huge hits before release. Yeah Vampire is a hit but she's not smashing as much as she was first time around in the singles department. Plus her streaming could end up outdoing predictions again anyway. She's doing well all things considered.

... so will only JK whenever he releases go #1 in terms of BTS solos? :rip: 

He is probably the most commercial sounding of the BTS crew so far. V’s EP is great though.

Kinda not buying these numbers.. I think it'll be closer to 275K.

Very okay numbers for V, if not slightly underwhelming. I think his numbers were overhyped a bit.

SOUR had Swiftie support, GUTS does not, that will be the difference.

Hoping for 300k

Posted

Posted

Olivia great numbers :clap3:

ARMYs paying V dust ddd I think he's better off modelling or acting or something :deadbanana2: Clearly more people care about his visuals than his music

So basically recently only Taylor, Beyoncé and Sza had better numbers. She’s MPG

Posted

Isn't this still a bigger first week than any woman not names Taylor or Adele this decade though? I think maybe only RENAISSANCE opened with more too.

 

These are solid numbers.

Posted

I bet she’ll hit or at least get close to 300k

 

Great numbers for anyone not named Taylor Swift or Adele

That’s not the same as Taylor who has varying vinyl covers so feels like a different collectible. 
 

Cover variants > disk variants

Her era is really serving HTE but without the negativity :rip:

 

Let‘s see if this album has its own HTE song that carries the album for months and becomes a lowkey classic 

The album will have 3 top 10 with a number one single not even comparable and it’s not like she did half the streams of sour. Why yall are always doing the most with certain pop girls :rip:

Many Swifties are fans of Olivia in real life. This is a very chronically online/ATRL take :rip:

Making 4 different platters for different pressings is by far more expensive than any photoshoot.

Reiterating what I said about this earlier.
