GUTS already out of the top 10 though  

And the sad thing is that she has no hits left from it what so ever... I mean Vampire was a semi hit and the others just flopped, and the era is done. It's very hard after an insane first era.

[Bears01]

 Other than Adele’s insane 2011-2016 run, Taylor’s commercial dominance has been the most impressive in my life

[Ger]

No words, her power is just... insane.

[skizzo]

So I was right. No way was this doing less than SN...

[FreeXone]

Oh my goodness. I wanna know what manifestation spell this ***** did cause how?!!!! She is so damn BASIC. Like I don’t understand it.

It's called talent, you should try it.

[ALA]

OG 1989 still top 20... so unserious

[slw84]

Oh this is so hitting 1.6M but hopefully it reaches 1.75M

[NoOneDiesFromLove]

This outselling the original 

 

I already fear what TS11 might do

Vampire is a hit not just a "semi-hit". It was #1 for 2 weeks and it's still #11 this week on the Hot 100 after 17 weeks

Just because it wasn't as huge as drivers license and good 4 u, it doesn't mean it's not a hit

OK, a hit. Not a big hit, and of course not a huge hit. Didn't do that well WW after the first couple of weeks, it was weak for me (I bought a few vinyls of SOUR and I am a fan)

The album is very fine but yes, it's not the best effort and it is struggling on the charts.

[Feanor]

Not more pure sales than even 'Midnights'. 

TS11 is coming for blood…

It’s amazing what ambition and dedication to your craft will get you. Taylor learned guitar from a random REPAIR MAN and ever since then she’s been sharing the songs she writes with the world. Those songs resonate with people. What you call basic everyone else sees as affirmative to their emotions, their memories, and their experiences.

[By the Water]

Sill confused about BB's numbers but whatever

 

Going from 55 weeks in the top 10 to 7 is crazy. Though if you call it a sophomore slump you're just bitter and hate seeing women succeed

We get, Taylor’s art is too advanced for your understanding but please don’t announce it here.

[feelslikeadream]

[kexin]

all you girlies talking about GUTS should worry about ariana being 0/6 on the charts lol. 

[Feanor]

'1989' #19 and #1 with 1.5M units tho… 

Truly an album for the history books.

Her lyrics aren’t that intelligent

Her vocals are subpar

Her visuals are disney

Her stage presence is goofy as hell

 

She embodies American white mediocrity. 
 

yuck

Ok but how do we make sure that Taylor blocks junglebooks album next week?

[woohoo]

The way I thought midnights would be her last million first week seller. After this and cruel summer I am an absolute clown
