Well? Will Icon Taylor outdo herself and sell more in the first week with Tortured Poets Department that she did with Midnights?

 

Let me teleport into the future and check.

Yes

I think that it's possible, but it's still a tall order. While she has the benefit of coming off of the immense first half of the Eras tour, the hype around Midnights was truly insane. When there's basically nobody around who can do half of what Midnights did in its first week, tying it is surely not an easy feat even for Taylor. 1989 TV managed to do even better, but I think that was more tangibly in the center of the peak of Eras Tour hype and it was, obviously, her biggest album getting its second life at the perfect moment, so that was a special case. While I don't really believe in overexposure as a concept, we also have to consider how some fans seemed upset about the variants having separate bonus tracks, and how the internet at large tried weirdly hard to seize on some frankly ridiculous **** on the night of the Grammys - there's at least a tiny bit of exhaustion in the market. Given all that and the relative silence she and her team have had since the announcement, I wouldn't be too shocked or disappointed if TTPD "only" debuted over a million but didn't crack the Midnights/1989 TV barrier.

Yes she will, at least for first week sales. 1989 TV outsold MID in first week sales and was her biggest opening week ever.  It's a no brainer 

If only she has vibes, feels, otherwise NO. 

First week? Clearly. Overall sales, possibly.

Idk y i have a feeling it will sell well but less. 

 

We'll see 

She'll do 2M. Watch.

Typo, I did mean million.

Yes if she tweets again like she did today 

 

Each tweet = 1M additional sales 

Yes I think she'll have no issue in clearing midnights' debut numbers. For overall consumption it will be tough as midnights has truly immense longevity, but it'll depend on how the singles from TTPD fare. 

Eras tour happened in between, so I expect she will pass it by a decent margin. I've seen some swifties talking about 2M though and I don't know about that

She'll be lucky to clear 750K, she has very little hype right now.

PTSD will be lucky to surpass Taylor's best album REPUTATION

Of course. It would be a surprise if it doesn't.

no shes over nobody has even been to an eras tour show since march

First week? Probably. Long term? Depends on the genre and the tea 

Hmmmm, given the hype from the Era's tour I can see her equaling or doing a LITTLE bit more than Midnights. Like 1989 (TV). But longevity wise I feel she doesn't have anything crazy planned for this era. I think she's just releasing the album just because. With Midnights you could TELL she had a clear intention and drive to make it huge. With this new album, I'm not so sure.

She outsold midnights with 1989 tv

If 1989 TV could sell more then obviously.

 

Based on her global rise since Midnights.

 

I think she can do around:

US - 2M

Canada - 150k

UK - 250k 

Germany - 100k 

Australia - 80k

France - 40-50k

 

It probably won't outsell Midnights in total though.
