without pre-release units 

 

Oh Shiite i completely forgot about prerelased units wow slay

[Feanor]

'30'. 

 

No wonder the Adele "fans" keep clinging on to 9 year old receipts to diminish Taylor's success, instead of using her most recent output.

Shook Billie's debut is selling significantly more than Olivia's 

…you're shocked that the total units of a smash debut album from 2019 is higher than the total units of a smash debut album from 2021? 

[Blue Monday]

30  my goodness. The numbers are respectable in the current sales climate but the fact that it was the long-awaited follow up to 25.

 

Hate that Morgan is gonna snatch a diamond album. 

 

Hopefully ATRL stops calling GUTS a flop album now.

Oh @Reverse Warholian don't make that face

 

[SweetTalker]

Going from almost 14m to 3m is insane. And it's not like 30 will reach 4m anytime soon  

[bielneira]

Harry's totals are lower than I expected 

[bjorn]

Who is Morgan Wallen? 

[Dialamba]

30 debuted with 800k units. Did it spent 4 weeks on billboard.  Someone is lying.

I mean basically. It was released holiday season and moved all its units then. Minimal sales/streams since.

[By the Water]

So 1989 TV already outsold 30?

If I recall, it sold roughly 2 million of its current 3.2 million units in just about 10 weeks. Her Billboard page says it spent 69 weeks on the Billboard 200 where her other three albums spent 222, 605, and 223 weeks on the chart (with 19 largely carried by 21, of course).

GUTS at almost 2 million. can't help but stomp in every metric

 

  and SOUR is most impressive especially with only 11 tracks....

[VioletsandRoses]

Harry's units are kinda low. I guess they didn't have longevity after their first year. 
WWAFAWWG is kinda high. It was certified 4x platinum in 2021 and it kinda collapsed after HTE. 
30 with 3x platinum is good, especially when almost 2m are from actual album sales. But the decline is huge. She needs to stop with the 5-6 year breaks. It only worked with 25 because she was going to smash regardless and Hello was the perfect comeback song unlike EOM. 

[Gossip_Boy]

Dangerous about to go diamond. I wonder what his next album is going to open with. 

[Gerardo]

Morgan having the first diamond album of the decade 

[UseYourIllusion2002]

Wait not flop Bedtime Stories being on the same level as 30

Comparing peak album sales era to streaming era album? Bedtime Story was #28 on the yec and peaked at #3 while 30 was #2 on the yec and was #1 for 6 weeks. Please be for real

Yeah that was kinda sarcasm which is why I used I was just shocked at how low 30 is. But the fact that Bedtime Stories debuted with like 140,000 copies while 30 did 800,000 and they're both at 3x platinum is crazy 

[UnusualBoy]

The dramatics over 30, y'all labelled the album as a flop back in 2021 and in 2022 but y'all acting shocked at its total units, pls be serious 

[airplane]

'the tortured poets society'

 

30 was a commercial and environmental disaster

They are not playing a guess game, this is what it sold according to their formula. And her debut was already way past 4 million when it was certified.

[naval23]

30 being the 2nd biggest album of 2022, #1 IFPI album of 2021, global smasha Easy On Me and and triple platinum

It's similar to the decline from Come Away With Me to Feels Like Home for Norah Jonesvor Lets Talk About Love to A New Day Has Come or Come On Over to Up!

 

Both still had massive year end positions on charts but couldn't meet the success of the era before

 

The fact Adele striked lightning twice is impressive af

 

Only people with astronomical peaks can relate - literally a once in a lifetime moment

Not Morgan having the 2 biggest albums of the streaming era and being Adele's 21 and w5 replacement
