selena_lavigne Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Please, it's Taylor Swift, if she wanted to she could break the record. Y'all acting like we're in a Selena Gomez thread. 1

Achilles. Posted April 11 Posted April 11 (edited) Whew I have such fond memories of the good old days of 2012-2017 when HDD would drop the "Taylor's album is already gold" early numbers. And then every other day they would just boost the prediction by a few hundred thousand. And then the album would hit a million. And then it would keep going. Looking forward to the "Taylor's album is already double platinum, can she break 3M" article on the ✌️✌️nd. Edited April 11 by Achilles. 2
Cruel Summer Posted April 11 Posted April 11 2 minutes ago, wastedpotential said: nnnn it's something that's been... spoken of in small circles of Swiftists in secret, as a possibility, a goal even, for years, but never as a possibility. Oomfs and I have been discussing it as like... the dream aspiration since IT happened in the first place, and I've seen some of TM's numbers and IT might... be possible. What an ideal time for our good friend on the previous page who said they were excited for this to be their first Taylor release as a non-OTH I mean, it just seems so ridiculously unattainable, but I'm almost starting to actually wonder if those preorder numbers are legit and I super grossly underestimated the impact of the Eras tour. The Happening, shall we say, was of course preceded by a project with similarly unprecedented success, too, so I can already see where it's vaguely possible on that basis. I guess the real issue is that the tour kind of blew the doors off every idea of her success and stature that we previously had and now it's hard to accurately predict literally anything. I mean, earlier today, I read a tweet saying she'd moved more units in the past three years than her entire career before that - so how do we even begin to understand where things are anymore? 1
selena_lavigne Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Like first off anybody can break the record. Even Selena could. The record is how do you make people want to go to your website and order your art.
TheArgonaut Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Remember when we were all praying Midnights cracked 1 million? Yeah, something will shift 1

Yeah, the numbers are just incomprehensible... Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler Spoiler however, the girls have a source with someone related to the back end of her store who swears that 2m has happened, and then from that point you can pretty safely assume another few hundred thousand pure during the week (Target sales, Amazon sales, iTunes sales, website digitals, record store sales), another few hundred thousand streaming equivalents - most estimates have it around 500k but it could vary pretty significantly (Midnights did 420k for reference), and then another 50kish in track equivalents, and if she does a signed run of anything then all bets are off 1

She has an ironclad loyal, massive fanbase. She's massive. Even her haters will stream out of curiosity as they always do. She'll succeed no matter what. I care more about quality content. 3
Migs30283 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 (edited) Taylor needs to have at least 38 million streams to occupy the top 10 for TTPD album because Hozier might get 290+ points during TTPD album release week. I think fortnight can do more than 60 million streams on 1st week. Edited April 11 by Migs30283

Kitboga Posted April 11 Posted April 11 18 minutes ago, Cherish said: people are gonna complain "OK BUT CAN SHE DO IT WITH ONE VARIANT!? NOT 4!?" like ***** shut up, no one is forcing you to buy it i dont wanna celebrate early either, but if she is indeed doing IT, then we must not engage in those "variants/ 10 versions" arguments you know theyll try to throw around. do not debate them, just gloat obnixously of the fact that taylor reached the height no one will have,and how their little faves never even had a 1m/700k/500k debute let alone trying to discredit a pure sales record when pure sales is dead. brag, gloat, mock, no debates, no diaglogues. 2 1
selena_lavigne Posted April 11 Posted April 11 (edited) A Post Malone feature is a great sign. The Florence feature is giving me Joanne flashbacks. Edited April 11 by selena_lavigne 1

selena_lavigne Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Please let this be a situation where she is releasing a sex album cuz she is grabbing her crotch and i will have sex with everybody while streaming for months on end. 1
torontowest91 Posted April 11 Posted April 11 What stops an artist for buying let's say $2m in albums from target?
selena_lavigne Posted April 11 Posted April 11 (edited) Like i'm not going to lie to you, i have a fetish for m*sturbating all day long while listening to quality music and writing songs and poems about my friends. So if this album is what THAT is "The Tortured Poets Department" i'm so down. Edited April 11 by selena_lavigne 1 2
1989poet Posted April 11 Posted April 11 Interesting how there has been little to no "insiders" with actual info this album. She must have it under lock and key 🔐
