But it's the hits that got the era going on for three years lol. Taylor Swift has been a big celebrity forever with a massive following that culminated in two decades, whereas Dua is way newer and has not done much to develop herself as a celebrity in a way that Taylor's feuds, relationships, and controversies have made her. It's integral to Taylor's brand, not Dua's.

Also like I said earlier, Midnights came out at just the right time with Taylormania brimming, allowing Taylor's popularity to instantaneously explode overnight. Dua had to completely change her image and promote an album during the COVID-19 era. 

 

what kinda logic is this?

this thread is about biggest era, not who gained the most? just because taylor's already bigger doesn't mean her era should be treated differently from new comers' breakout eras.

Sour globally/SOS US 

 

After Hour and Future Nostalgia are playlists atp. They shouldn't count especially FN.

Since when is "After Hours" a playlist?  Even the deluxe edition of the album (including three bonus songs and the "Save Your Tears" remix) stands at 18 tracks, which is less than "SOS" ' 23 tally.

 

Fair enough to use this argument against "Future Nostalgia (The Moonlight Edition)", even though this doesn't really take away from the era's success. But "After Hours" is a cohesive and well-crafted body of work with a clear narrative and thematic progression throughout. As much as I love "SOS", I'd argue it suffers from more filler and superfluous songs in comparison, but neither should be considered playlists.

 

OT: In terms of most successful albums, it's gotta be Bad Bunny's "Un Verano Sin Ti" globally and Morgan Wallen's "Dangerous: The Double Album" in the US (with follow-up "One Thing At A Time" not far behind and with the potential to surpass it). For women, Olivia Rodrigo's "SOUR" is a surefire contender, plus SZA's "SOS" in the US. Not sure which of Taylor's albums will be the strongest contender in the long-term, but I believe it will be between "folklore" and "Midnights", unless TTPD's length ends up playing a role similar to the Wallen albums.

 

As for biggest eras in terms of hit singles...this list speaks for itself:

 

 

"After Hours" and "Future Nostalgia". Honourable mentions to "Planet Her" and "The Rise And Fall Of A Midwest Princess" in terms of big US eras given the sheer amount of viral smash hits - many of them simultaneous at that.

BONUS: biggest 2020s eras in the UK are definitely Ed Sheeran's "Equals" and Sabrina Carpenter's "Short n' Sweet", with honourable mentions to "Future Nostalgia", "SOUR", and "After Hours".

And FN is still bigger? It has the bigger hits, and the magnitude of those hits make up for the points she loses in media coverage and whatever u brought up
