That would be Taylor

450k is a flop? be smart.

[Pheromosa]

[By the Water]

The way people think his team doesn't invest in physicals because they don't care  Scorpion CDs were made available three weeks after the album came out and it sold 13k. There's just no demand for Drake physical copies, especially with those hideous covers

[Johnny Jacobs]

I thought it was 600k. 

 

Anyway... That Rihanna diss could only get him so much attention. Ha power

People acting like this is bad

It is because he got men and women streaming, and men dont listen to music from women. So it is

[ForgottenSoul]

tanked, less than Utopia, 200k less than CLB. he is indeed on his way OUT. his next album will do sub-300k and then he'll fade into a legacy act

Travis used his sweater schemes to get those numbers

Not true. There are no straights who listen to taylor or ariana.

And ‘just too gay’, what is that even? Are you hearing what you are saying?

The manchild is still smashing

 

He won’t be over any time soon, maybe when he’s 50 but those numbers are solid and he still has a massive base consuming him

 

Basically the same as Taylor but in a lower scale

 

He can easily have a re-peak if he actually re-invents himself and pulls a quality album

[Ger]

Honestly, amazing numbers across the board, don't know where those "bad" comments are coming from.

[Ivan_brit]

The numbers are fine but could be bigger specially when there a lot of collabs there & the album is 23 songs

 

So did Travis snatch bigger debut  interesting, also I Travis album is superior

Taylor has opened with like 50k and with like 1.5 million. That’s way too big a spread

While I agree with your message, this comparison makes no sense as the album was missing physicals (Taylor's biggest force).

Drake new album also has no physicals! This album like this forum is saying is far from a flop and has no promotions outside the social media post! Drake is a big hit!

Yeah but his main force is streaming, not physicals.

He reissued a mixtape in 2019 that opened with 45,000

Utopia had physicals unlike Drake

 

ATRL members are something else. I don't even like Drake but based on some posts here only Taylor does great numbers and the rest are flops 

ATRL is delusional ESPECIALLY if it's smth outside the world of generic pop music. Like it's embarrassing. Drake is the streaming king (after Bad Bunny) like get a grip stat

Do you really expect her debut which is released is a newly formed indie record label to open with over 100k?  50k is actually impressive considering that she has to visit every local country radio station in Nashville personally just to promote her debut single

 

You should be comparing her succeeding album debuts:

 

Fearless (2008) - 592k

Speak Now (2010) - 1.04m

Red (2012) - 1.21m

1989 (2014) - 1.27m

Reputation (2017) - 1.24m

Lover (2019) - 867k

Folklore (2020) - 329k (no physicals)

Fearless (Taylor's Version) (2021) - 291k

Red (Taylor's Version) (2021) - 605k

Midnights - 1.58m

Speak Now (Taylor's Version) - 716k

 

And 1989 (Taylor's Version) is predicted to debut over 1 million

 

Evermore and Fearless TV kinda ruined it but it's understandable: Evermore is considered to be an accompanying album to Folklore (and has been overshadowed by its sister) while Fearless TV is her first re-recorded album and still testing the waters.

@ some users saying these numbers are bad, never change ATRL
