charts discussion HDD: TTPD 16th week at #1 w/ 403K, Kendrick 163K

[enchanted0]

Omg

 

and people couldn't even get the vinyls because it was all sold out 

 

She's just on a whole another level. It's kinda pointless comparing or discussing her with other artists

even you typing that can see that the figures don't differ that much, but my point is Drake's reception/discourse was much more different than what Kendrick's will be. 
 

(I'm not picking sides either btw, just being honest.) 

Yea but at least the argument for Kendrick is that there's not physicals or bundles to speak of. We have a tendency to look at everything at face value without context on here ( look at someone questioning why Taylor was winning with 93% pure sales for example).

 

Though I see in the terms of the battle and Drake's fans annoying dependence on the numbers ( watch then be on Twitter dragging these numbers) i can see where you're getting at.

So now THIS is impressive. Lowkey kind of a gag lmao! Even though I drag her a lot, I only do it to spite most Swifties.
 

But one things for certain, I'll always be impressed by how WELL she sells sometimes. Makes me think she really did deserve to be #2, lmaoooo!

Ngl, her sales are fun and entertaining to look at. She sells so effortlessly.

[fridayteenage]

looks like she would have 4 of the top 5 #1 weeks of the year. she'd be the first artist in the Soundscan era to do so.

 

this century, Adele and Susan Boyle managed 3 out of 5. in the 90s, so did Whitney and Garth.

[MissedTheTrain]

Almost 400k is insane  

[Cloröx]

This is terrorism that I love to see 

[SweetenerNostalgia]

wicked 

[Rv1709]

lol her 16th week is higher than most people's first week. Not bad for a #2 billboard ranked pop star 

[Feanor]

The fact that this week's pure sales alone with just one variant would be enough to already to make the album one of the biggest-selling pure albums of the year.

Well, it's actually 33 weeks in iirc

[Rv1709]

The timing of this happening coinciding with BB revealing beyonce as no 1 will never not be ironical 

[piotrert]

impressive pure albums for sabrina/billie/chappell

if this was drake he would get dragged for this tbh, but lemme keep it cute 

 

Yea cuz Drake and Kendrick are currently beefing while Taylor has nothing to do with that. Congrats on developing some critical thinking skills

huh? unfortunately I wish I could say the same for you. 

[NEUTRON]

I feel like the production orders for the books and physicals got mixed up.

 

She would've gone even higher with more stock

[Romova99]

390k in it's 16th week is insane...

The way she's always on your mind. I know you miss the times when you could get away with throwing around racial slurs.

Books usually sell more overtime than music, both will be repressed over and over if needed like her previous Target exclusive releases.

[Gerardo]

Wickeds 2nd week higher than ES' 2nd week 

I mean a win is a win 

[Elementary]

Imagine selling 400k of an 8 month old album of which several different variants (totaling over 5M+ sales) have already been sold. No promo, no new singles, no new songs. No nothing. 

[Calvin]

Could've been 1 million+ if they focus on vinyl only (book release kinda ruined it).
