byzantium Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 It is a good album released in the last three weeks of 2022 that had all year to accumulate streams. It's not rocket science, just good music. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

liam13 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 because it's still popular and taylor's streams spread across all of her albums 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FolkLover1989 Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 It's a great album released at the end of the year Taylor streams are stretched between like 10 albums so that helps too. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayDuaStan Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) 20 minutes ago, supertiffany said: it's the real Album of the Year legit both critics acclaim and of course commercial hits. It's not. It only outstreamed Midnights because that album got overshadowed by Taylor's other 2 releases from last year. Taylor's streams were spread across Midnights & Speak Now TV & 1989TV. SOS performed so well cuz SZA only has like 2 albums. Now if we compare pure units (cuz that's the real deal), well… SOS didn't even enter the top 10 And in terms of critical acclaim, Midnights is the Grammys's AOTY. The GRAMMYS are THE RECORDING ACADEMY, not some internet critic that no one heard about Edited March 28 by TayDuaStan 7 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redstreak Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Does it really have any other way to listen besides streaming? I don't know if it had a lot of physicals 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TayDuaStan Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Also, doesn't SOS have like 6 singles, 1 being currently active. Of course it's gonna outstream Midnights which had only 3 singles and the last single was released almost a year ago 2 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're disliking your comment but you spoke real OT: It's a great body of work but there's also something for everyone on there in terms of sound, while staying true to who SZA is as an artist; a perfect sophomore album 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TayDuaStan Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 (edited) 35 minutes ago, ugo said: too bad she doesn't have any pure sales THIS. Midnights sold over 3 million pure units since release (while also having to compete with Taylor's other 2023 releases SNTV & 1989TV which also sold over 1 or 2 million pure units) while SOS is N/A in this department. I mean congrats for the streaming achievement, but let's face it, selling pure units is by far a lot more impressive, especially in the streaming age. Cuz like even a khia can have a huge streaming hit in this day and age and boost an album's streams while only Taylor can sell over 1 million in pure Edited March 28 by TayDuaStan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bad guy Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 The almost immediate Swiftie tears/coping in this thread. Even bringing up pure sales in the year of 2024 instead of just saying congratulations. SOS the AOTY that you are. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
