aesthetic bih Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I hope so! It will be the cherry on top of Taylor's already gargantuan peak 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingWitch Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 Nah you need a ton of physical albums for that record, streaming is basically what's holding her back, even if she does 1 billion U.S streams it will be just 800k units. The record will be intact until an artist that's more popular on physicals and not really big on streaming. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FailSafe Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 She will clear 2.5 million. I predict 2.8-3M. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And honestly it shouldn't be unlikely, I would absolutely expect her to do 3.5M+ after: • Apple Music created a "Taylor Swift" genre • Instagram created the first ever refresh promo • Spotify opened up TTPD pop-up libraries • iHeartTaylor is playing her whole album across all their stations • Twitter officially removed "Taylor Swift leak" from search results ahead of the album leaking • All major US radio stations taking part in a "Twice the Taylor" where they play 2 Taylor songs hourly • TikTok promoting her album upon opening the app • UMG restored her music, first major artist to do so It's a shame after all of this and those 5 vinyl variants with 1 new song on each of them, the album will not even crack 3M "She should sell 3M because Twitter removed Taylor Swift leak" is crazy This week will be one for the history books 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would expect 3M with this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquiddiamonds Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 She has a better shot now that the album almost doubled size in streaming, but it depends on how big the pure sales will be. Streaming alone won't get her there because of the formula. STILL a 31-track Taylor album will give her crazy chart longevity if the project clicks with audiences. I guess she will hold on #1 for a while. I'm very interested in how much her streaming numbers will impact other pop girls. It's a lot of music for her fans and casual to consume. Some will go deep RED on friday lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Digitalism Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 This album's first week numbers will be a testament to her peak and fan base because the GP and casual fans won't be replaying 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnusualBoy Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 She won't. Not sure why some of you are trying to set her up. The biggest streaming units ever in first week don't even make to 1 million. She'd have to do 2.5 in SALES which is not possible and then 800k from streaming. She's probably gonna do 2-2.5 million, that put her in the range to have the 2nd biggest first week ever which is an achievement itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strawberry Bubble Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 I don't think so. But this is the last time an artist will be close to 25's record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Støned Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 No, but I think she has a chance to surpass the all time 2nd place which is NSYNC's No Strings Attached which sold 2.416M in its first week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
