2M is very plausible now

It includes pre-release streams so they won’t count for BB. Let’s just count 800k+ for now (safest estimation).

[Arcadius]

Is 25 shaking?

[Walk_Away21]

People were clowning me for calling 2 million a possibility. Eggs and crow for all of you! She's taking it. @Taylor fanboy

 

[Taylena]

I think 1.5M is on lock now but i wouldn't bet on 2M being a possibility. 

[Dula Peep]

But will it drop like a rock second week? 

[Both Sides Now]

When you look at some of The Beatles’ records, you kinda think “wow no one in music will ever beat these records”.
 

Now it’s like that with Taylor

Who cares.  It will still end up being the biggest MPG album from 2023 (unless GUTS pulls through in the long run) with a re-recorded album.  She is already winning. 

[Digitalism]

I think it's safe she is on par with mj at least in the US now

I'm not surprised at white privilege repeaking with every taylor swift release. I would feel very ashamed if I were white watching this happening.

If only the other millions of white artists could succeed at this level off the back of white privilege alone. It’s almost like white privilege is just the absence of adversity, not the propeller behind success.
 

Taylor is where she is because she’s better at what she does than other white people who have the same levels of privilege that she does. Get over it.

Others can't even debut at number 1. Who cares

selling music is white privilege? was it white privilege too when MJ was the best selling artist in the late 70s, 80s and early 90s too? 

[JawBreaker]

Not even swifties have tracked that amount of preorders. Not believing this

but she only has released Wildest dreams and This Love. Those songs have too many units already?

Considering 1989 (original) is still in the top 20 after nine years, the answer is most likely no 

[whitehotforever]

the fumes already

Those two songs already accumulated 623M streams from Spotify only. If half of that are US streams then yes that's 200k right there plus 800k from preorders to reach 1M units.

Ignore these sad things that fetishize segregation. It's quite disgusting. 

[Rence]

Those don’t count towards the BB200 debut, right?

About 800k to 850k will, yes. Those are composed of preorders. A small amount won’t, as they are composed of pre-release units already moved by Wildest Dreams TV and This Love TV.
