local to the UK

[UnusualBoy]

It'll probably end with bigger numbers than Midnights and that one opened with 200k: rip: 

[littlebodybigheart]

another #1 single in the bag for the “is it over now?” songstress

[byzantium]

That is a lot of albums.  It would be enough to score a #1 album in the US most weeks.  And she did that without dancing! 

[Holiest Dreams]

Should that be a big enough gap for IION to hold on to #1?

[sherloid_bai]

Another smash but I miss when UK #1 sales weeks would top 100/150k weekly

Well, last week Cruel Summer was #3 and shifted 32K units by the end of the week (It started the week at #8 in the midweeks)... so it's currently up in the air

First 3 days of streaming are consistent so yes at least It don't drop hard the last 4 days should happen.

[Life Savers]

The local to London chanteuse did that 

[ForgottenSoul]

wtf those UK album sales are crazy for her. 

[LustSpell]

IION? is the best vault track so deserved!

[BtDecember]

Wait… I don’t see Midnights????

[Maroonx]

For reference, her previous albums' first week sales in the UK

 

67,112 - Speak Now (Taylor's Version)
204,501 - Midnights
72,319 - Red (Taylor's Version)
21,145 - Fearless (Taylor's Version)
