Damn I thought Blue-Green album artists sold more than her.

Everytime there's a huge record that Taylor achieves, I feel like it's always swarmed by doubters, haters and "analysts" because it has now looked "usual" for Taylor to get these achievements, but it is obviously rare and near impossible for a lot of other artists to achieve what she has done.

 

Impressive, superb, brilliant, outstanding, excellent - I've run out of adjectives on how to describe Taylor's massiveness and impact. When people say it's just numbers with no impact, I'm pleasantly surprised because these numbers will actually sustain the impact she has over some qualitative "feel" of impact that is forgotten in a few years time.

Sort of like how there are a few people complaining about how she hasn't technically passed this artist or that artist, when in reality it's a foregone conclusion globally and already done in the US.

UPDATE 2.0

 

That means she sold about 250k units weekly for the past 4 weeks. Depending on how big 'THE ANTHOLOGY' physicals end up, she could be headed for 18M units by the end of the year at this pace.

Not even 1.8% of the market share?

I'm a little sad that she won't quite match 2023 unless TTPD:A physicals are unexpectedly astronomically successful, but it's so cool to see her stomping with the two biggest years of the Luminate era by a huge margin, back to back

How much did she sell in 2023?

 

edit: nvm someone said already. 2023 going down as her peak year (for now)
