Popular Post Cruel Summer Posted April 28 Popular Post Share Posted April 28 1 minute ago, Kavish said: Reminder that she is 18 years into her career and this is her 11th studio album. Her career trajectory is both an anomaly and an impressive feat to witness. Absolutely insane. Yeah, a lot of the records she's starting to break lately are because of this, too. Nobody has been this big this far into their career before unless you count the child star years of Michael Jackson, and even then… like there's virtually no precedent for what she's doing 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MidnightsAtPeace Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 This legend once again proves that she's the biggest living artist right now, the most influential and successful artist of the 21st century, and among some of the biggest artists this world has witnessed. She is not a typical pop girly, she's a legend. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feanor Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 5 minutes ago, By the Water said: 274k digital sales is crazy 110k more than 'Midnights' even tho digital sales keep decreasing very year… The fact that its digital first week sales are enough to already make it the best-selling album of the year in pure sales… Or the fact that she debuted with almost a million units in digital consumption alone (SEA + TEA + digital album sales)… 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

levi_valvi Posted April 28 Share Posted April 28 41 minutes ago, Cruel Summer said: Assorted achievements: - Second biggest debut in US history - Biggest streaming and SEA week in US history (breaking Drake's record from 2018's Scorpion) - Biggest vinyl week in the Soundscan/Luminate era, breaking her own record from 1989 (Taylor's Version), which broke her own record from Midnights, which broke Harry Styles' record from Harry's House, which broke Taylor's record from Red (Taylor's Version), which broke her own record from Evermore - Third biggest all-format pure sales week in the Soundscan/Luminate era (behind Adele and *NSYNC) - Ties for the most #1 albums among solo artists, second most among all artists (14; Jay-Z has 14, the Beatles have 19) - Extends records for most consecutive studio albums to hit #1 and to debut at #1 (14; Jay-Z is next for both at 11) - Extends record for most million-selling weeks among all artists (7 weeks; Adele is next at 3 weeks) - Extends record for most million-selling debuts among all artists (7; *NSYNC, and BSB are next at 2 each, and Eminem has 1 million-selling debut week and another album that sold 1 million in its first full week) - Extends record for most albums to sell over 500,000 pure copies in a single week in the Soundscan/Luminate era (11; runner-up unclear, but they have 8 or less) - Extends record as solo artist with the most weeks at #1, second most weeks among all artist (70 weeks; Elvis is next at 67, the Beatles have 132) - Leads the 2020s decade for the most #1 albums with 8 (Drake is next at 4) - Breaks tie with Morgan Wallen for most weeks at #1 in the 2020s (30 weeks) - Taylor now has the four biggest weeks of the 2020s decade and six of the top ten (Adele's 30 is #5) - She also has the four biggest vinyl weeks of the SoundScan/Luminate era and 6 of the top 10 - TTPD instantly becomes the most-consumed album of the calendar year so far, and #2 in the Billboard chart year behind 1989 (Taylor's Version) - Taylor has now crossed 13 million album units for the current Billboard chart year, which I believe is already the biggest Billboard year in the Soundscan/Luminate era or the second biggest after her own 2023 completely crazy also, off topic, but I had no idea Jay-Z had achievements like that. I've always thought of him mostly as Beyoncé's man Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
