is SOS bigger than Future Nostalgia?


Recommended Posts

Posted

SOS has limited appeal globally. It's a MASSIVE record considering it's a Black woman making R&B music.

 

it is by far the bigger album in the US. it's close but I'd give it to Future Nostalgia globally so far.

 

if SZA dropped "Big Boy" and tacked it on to SOS it might be enough to sway the win.

Dua promoted the sh*t out of that album in every place imaginable on the planet Earth and her singles never left from the playlists for a whole 3 years. Of course she did better worldwide than someone who barely even promoted her album in the US.  

No one cares abt this ****. Point is you tried it with SOS stats when FN’s are much better.

SOS is probably the biggest era by a woman this decade after Midnights, and even then it's almost as big as the latter.

As complete eras, both SOS and FN are bigger than Midnights IMO. But part of that is by design, since Taylor has been moving on and releasing so much recently.

These stats prove nothing, darling! FN was much more massive in a WW perspective

I know you take every opportunity to discredit Dua's success, but come on, I didn't want to do this. :redface: 

Official Charts 
FN - 15 #1s
SOS 6 #1s

Certifications outside the US 
FN - 2.2M
SOS - 650K

 

Streams
FN - 11.6B
SOS - 6.5B

Views on YouTube (Still a big streaming platform in Asia and Latin America)
FN -  3B (6 videos of 6 official singles from the standard version)
SOS - 332M (6 videos of 6 official singles)
 

And now, if I compare the singles, it's even worse for SZA, it's not a fair comparison at this point.
What SZA did is incredible for an R&B singer, since that genre is not consumed ww like pop music.  :clap3:

I discredit Dua's success...er what?:rip:

 

A reminder SOS was released exactly 1 year ago while FN was released nearly FOUR years ago!!! So it'd be unfair to compare sales atm anyways

FN was bigger in Europe and Latin America. Not sure about Asia but I don’t think either of them perform really well in that market

In Europe at least, Future Nostalgia was and still is way bigger than SOS. You can ask random people above the age of 50 and they'll at least have heard the name Dua Lipa and will recognise a song or two; the same can't be said for SZA.

SOS is bigger as a full body of work. FN has the singles.

Definitely not bigger worldwide. Only in US is bigger but in my country nobody knows who SZA is while Dula Peep playing on radio 24/7 here

In the US, 'SOS' is already bigger.

Globally, 'Future Nostalgia' is ahead, but that could (and imo will) change depending on whether 'SOS' gets re-released with 'LANA' and if so, how that performs.

Can we stop talking about the US like it's not part of this planet...

SOS is bigger WW, and bigger in the US. 

 

If you wanna do WW excluding the US, then say so.

If by "complete eras" you mean single-wise then yes. Because album units and tour stats paint a very different picture.

 

OT: Future Nostalgia is currently bigger (because it was released 2 and a half year prior) but SOS is definitely catching up fast and with LANA coming it will very likely seal the deal.

SOS is bigger WW, and bigger in the US.

But if we stop talking about US alone, then Dua wins and we wouldn't mention SZA, since she only wins US :(

the fact that FN is a lot older and SOS is catching up already makes this hilarious :bibliahh:

 

Posted

NO

 

Future Nostalgia is bigger overall 

Posted

SOS is already clearing and LANA will seal the deal. 

Posted

SOS is easily bigger in US, FN takes the cake out of US.

Posted

I’ve heard maybe 2 songs off SOS. FN was everywhere. SZA’s numbers are still great though.

FN sold 16M units WW while SOS did 8M :lakitu:

the album would still have 5.2B streams and 9m+ daily streams even if you completely remove Good Days and I Hate U.
