not only 1 2024 albums in the 2024 year end 

[Letters From Adi]

I wonder if Sabrina can overtake Billie by end of the year

The end of the tracking period was either last week or this week I think, so that's pretty much impossible.

[fememeist]

Despite it's monumental debut, CC really sold less units than Chappell? Oh wow

[Michael196]

Lover can't let her foot off Middy's neck

It's because their year end goes from October 2023 to October 2024. So useless

I meant as in calendar year, i.e. December. She's selling at a good pace even now.

[Taylena]

Wait, HMHAS is still below Lover and Midnights?  

[By the Water]

I see a certain album missing

 

It's no wonder people can't seem to decide if it's a huge commercial success and the biggest moment in pop culture of the year or a hyperpop album by a single mother of two with a coke addiction with no promo released in an election year with no sexy visuals

It has yet to surpass TTPD 1st day total.

TTPD - biggest album of the year by the biggest artist of the century 💚💚💚💚💚

Where is Dua ?

 

SZA Control came out in 1977 ? 

[PoisonedIvy]

No Dua or Charli is disappointing

 

 The fact you could add Beyonce, Ariana, Sabrina, and Billie's totals and it would STILL be less than TTPD.. that's not shade to the other ladies it's just putting Taylor's success into proportion, I don't think she gets enough credit 

[TheArgonaut]

Oh, Tay. If only you were the zeitgeist of the year.

Just goes to show how global Billie is. 1.6m in the US, 5.4m globally.

It's certainly an album that missed 8 of the 12 months of the tracking period,  so maybe its absence means less than you think

The tracking period ended on Thursday. Friday, October 11th, was the start of 2025.
