Brexit. 
 

But really, where haven't sales tanked?  If you looked at the largest debut weeks anywhere, they across the board are lower.  The U.S., might look a little off just because Taylor is a machine, but other than her and Adele, the last time a MPG debuted with over 500k was Beyoncé's lemonade 8 years ago.

This and 30 are #1 and #2. I would guess Ed might be there somewhere. And Harry

They asked about last decade.  Last decade it's 25 with more than 800,000 units

I mean, the UK excluding streams from a long album isn't helping their market numbers either.

Arctic Monkeys also did 100k+ with their latest album iirc.

 

OT: What a massive debut.

You're right, overlooked that cause it was the same week as Midnights

I believe this is the fifth highest selling first-week sales by a non-British artist after 'Bad', 'The Immaculate Collection', 'Achtung Baby' and 'Ta-Dah' (Scissor Sisters)
