poll Was there hype for Guts?

[Bosque]

Before Guts release, a lot of threads were made by a very small circle of users on ATRL about whether the album had hype.

 

Since ATRL is famously too out of touch with reality for credible predictions, let's look at her debut stats to settle the question: in hindsight, did Guts have hype?

 

It is predicted to debut with 285k, almost the same figure as her debut album, and the 4th highest debut of 2023 so far:

 

#1 Taylor Swift (Speak Now TV) - 716,000

#2 Morgan Wallen (One Thing at a Time) - 501,000

#3 Travis Scott (Utopia) - 496,000

#4 Olivia Rodrigo (Guts) - 285,000+

#5 Taylor Swift (Midnights Extended Version) - 282,000

 

Its Spotify debut was on par with Positions and 30 (and 30 also had the same number of tracks), the top 10 non-Taylor album debuts here:

 

#1 Thank u, Next - 70.2M
#2 SOS - 68.7M 
#3 Sour - 63.2M

#4 30 - 60.9M

#5 GUTS - 60.3M *NEW* 
#6 Positions - 58.7M
#7 Chromatica - 48.3M
#8 WWAFA,WDWG? - 47M
#9 Renaissance - 43.3M
#10 HTE - 37.3M

 

On its fourth streaming day, it stayed slightly ahead of 30, and notably way ahead of fellow Gen Z Chantresse Billie Eilish. However, it has fallen behind her own debut.

 

#1 Midnights - 106.5M (+7.5%)

#2 SOUR - 54.3M (+14%)

#3 thank u, next - 53.6M (+5.5%)

#4 Red (Taylor's Version) - 53M (+6%)

#5 SOS - 48M (+11.5%)

#6 Speak Now (Taylor's Version) - 47.5M (-3%)

#7 folklore - 46.2M (+7%)

#8 GUTS - 38.2M (+6%) 

#9 30 - 37.9M (+9%)

#10 Lover - 36.3M (+11.5%)

#11 Evermore - 33.8M (+0.5%)

#12 Positions - 29.5M (+7%)

#13 Happier Than Ever - 26.2M (+6.5%)

#14 Chromatica - 21.1M (-10%)

#15 Renaissance - 21.4M (+2.5%)

#16 Future Nostalgia - 20.5M (+1%)

 

Vampire, her #1 lead single, is likely to return to #1 in its 11th week

 

The second single BIR? is predicted for a repeak in the Top 10 

 

She is predicted to debut all 12 tracks in the Top 40

At this point, Olivia should name her next album Hype since it's brought up so often.

Someone's obsessed

[Digitalism]

Some user is more obsessed with Olivia than Olivia is with Taylor

[1DES]

No. I didn't even know that the album came out yet.
