base talk Even eternal sunshine and SOUR are outstreaming TTPD (standard), now what?

[Minto]

i'm sure swifties made a thread like this about another certain artist…oh how the tables turn 

[Hexchromatica]

I'm seeing so many you've chosen to ignore posts by Calvin 

it would make sense now that I think about it  that her fans consistently buying the album contributes to her being on top of the billboard all of the time while the songs from the album aren't remembered by the general public or made much of a cultural splash outside of her enthusiastic fanbase

Now who is the most streamed artist of this year? Most remembered catalogue? Forgotten where? 17 weeks at top. 

 

 

OT: The most remembered catalogue declining after touring the whole year.

Buying isn't the only reason she stays on top, you know that. She is the most streamed too, has the biggest tour, has  whole discography charting on album charts.

[Prodigal Self]

LMAO they still yapping about first week and them overall units from fifty variants. BRAT is less than 2M below?

It IS bad for her, wow.

[ImpressMeMuch]

Oh wow. Honestly shocked at this. It's not what you'd expect from all the talk about her dominating wrapped

I mean it's pretty clear which albums are actually consumed by the GP (BRAT, HMHAS, SNS) and which is "the biggest album of the year cause it sold the most copies". If you're not delusional that is

A beautiful Christmas to everyone

The drag isn't dragging TTPD already sold 7 million units already while HMHAS will take decades to reach that mark. 

Streaming isn't the only way people listen, you know that. I listen to vinyl all the time. 

Why are you falling back on swifties fueled riggory debut sales numbers in a conversation about streaming 

[hallucinate]

bringing up the bulk-bought 2716272662 versions of the album in a thread about daily streams 

[Saint James]

so TTPD is the most streamed album this year despite releases from Billie, Ariana etc, despite being bad AND despite nobody knowing it? I can see why some people would be mad.

Damn. OTHs are crazy. It's flattering that Taylor is nearly reaching 20 years in the industry and is still that main ***** in charge. Love that for her.

For the last time, this thread is not about TTPD: Anthology (a 3LP playlist).

 

The Tortured Poets Department has less total streams than SnS/HMHAS despite a head start and more tracks.

Well, this is what you do on Xmas day? Splitting hairs between album variations' streams?
No wonder why even in a Billie avi, TTPD still lives rent free in it.

 

[Into The Void]

I mean probably cause TTPD just isn't very good

 

I don't even think I've actually ever finished it

¿? So we should put an asterisk in every achievement if so.

 

The Anthology came 2 hours after the original release  and it's not Taylor fault your faves are cheap and can't write or produce as much as her. You're so delusional and it's really sad to watch.

 

Happy holidays y'all. Go touch some snow. And I don't care if you quote me 

[Chris]

Guys, it's Christmas.

 

[newaespa]

yup TTPD is a flop but yet people are still comparing smash albums to it  

Hopefully people do not bring up the album sales because i am so scare of TTPD's underwhelming sales as well  

 

oooo Taylor is truly the standard even at her flop era

 

[longjohn9898]

Sour is far superior to TTPD (and Taylor's discography in general) are we surprised?

TTPD sold 7 million+ units just because of fanbase only. (Variants included)
but BRAT album (and its 25 variants) can't move 500k units while having support of whole general public. What kind of delusional take is this? 

[Nick_317]

Coming in to say I love Britney Spears and I love this gif

[BnPac]

However you look at this, it's a win for Taylor. 

To be compared to those new artists that are thriving is quite the compliment considering how long she's been here. And ever more with SOUR which was a gigantic era streaming wise. 

 

And even talking streams, the fact than an album as underwhelming, vanilla and colorless as TTPD can amass that staggering amount of streams is proof of her dominance.
