Which era/album do you feel it well end up being bigger?

 

Talking about hits, acclaim, longevity and final numbers.

 

Tour doesn't really count since is basically the same with different legs.

From my pov:

 

Hits: Midnights

Acclaim: Midnights

Longevity: Midnights might take this one because of hits

Overall it might be Midnights too but TTPD had a bigger start, mor variants and also almost double of tracks

TTPD has bigger numbers but somehow Midnights feels bigger, probably due to AH being this huge hit, especially bigger than Fortnight.

Poets is stomping Midnights and competing with 1989.

In the US, it took 'Midnights' almost half a year to sell as much as 'TTPD' has in just six weeks, and internationally 'TTPD' has also been outperforming it everywhere. So at least on a week-by-week basis, 'TTPD' is the far bigger era with no signs of its momentum stopping anytime soon.

Poets is bigger because her audience is Way Bigger then it's ever been. 

TTPD underperformed, no hits, panned.

I preferred Midnights but TTPD is definitely being streamed more. 

Midnights feels bigger because of its singles, but we'll see how the next TTPD singles will perform. TTPD as an album is definitely bigger, though.

Midnights didn't feel desperate, like TTPD

Crazy to think that Lover might outlive the two of them But it's entirely due to it having a different rollout

TTPD feels a lot bigger to me

TTPD feels bigger to me. My friends actually like the album. Many of us didn't like Midnights, so something definitely shifted.

I think TTPD is much bigger, right? No way anyone thinks Midnights was a bigger album. It had bigger singles, of course. But TTPD is being consumed much more than Midnights, sans Anti Hero. 

Midnights because it has an actual hit that also resonated with the GP.

 

TTPD seems big within the Swiftie bubble. But the GP said NO. The album is just...there, being streamed 24/7 by Swifties only.

Poets has 2 albums worth of material and therefore we should halve the numbers to really compare.

 

 

For now Midnights, but I voted for TTPD because I believe it can still have some hits and if it does it might be bigger than Midnights.

Midnights feels bigger. 

TTPD is capitalizing on Taylor insane status reached with The Eras Tour, re-recordings and Midnights itself. 

 

TTPD numbers are not exactly about the album, it's about Taylor Swift herself being an once in a lifetime success. 

So, Midnights.

Midnights because of the hits. TTPD is bigger sales wise because of how massive Midnights was

Midnights had anti-hero and an AOTY grammy, so that is hard to beat. Taylor really needs to start pushing a 2nd single that will hopefully click more than Fortnight did.

The point of Midnights building up for TTPD to have its success is definitely something to account for too

I think Tortured has bigger initial sales but Midnights felt bigger overall.

 

Like I don't see Tortured spending the amount of time Midnights spent in the top 10 but I could be wrong

 

Obviously Midnights, even though the singles had shockingly little longevity for such an imperial era (besides Anti-Hero). People were more interested in her song from 5 years ago than anything else Midnights had to offer

I think "Anti-Hero" will end up feeling like a bigger hit than any of the Tortured Poets singles, but Tortured Poets will have the bigger overall numbers in the end.
