9.1M vs 6.2M and that is picking a day when one goes down 10% and the other one goes up 10% randomly, lmfao. When those are the kind of things you try to brag about you know you are starving.

 

Edit: It's 9.1M because the picture attached here uses TTPD's Sunday streams and Sour's and ES's monday. Therefore the difference in drops and gains. The numbers for Monday are:

 

TTPD: 9.1M

ES: 6.3M

Sour: 6.2M

Why would Swifties be embarrassed? Y'all constantly look like boo boo the fools coming for Taylor's numbers of all people, and then act annoyed whenever Swifties post numbers/clap back. Taylor is the best-selling artist of 2024 in pure, the most streamed artist of 2024 on all major platforms, has the best-selling album of the year in both streams and pure sales, and just finished the biggest tour of all time. 

 

Surely you don't think that half of TTPD only getting 4.1M streams on Christmas day is some big W for you? Is that the best y'all can do? Is this what you're worried about on this nice Holiday break?  

[Pop Art]

The average person new to the stan world in about 20-30 years will probably look at Wikipedia stats in confusion on how a chunk of Taylor's music has such huge numbers the way many of us currently do about Barbara Streisand and Garth Brooks. The reality is nothing from TTPD is currently on track to be remembered by anyone outside of her core listener group, as large as it is. That won't change even if the number of units it's moved remains higher than some of the other albums mentioned that will survive in the general public consciousness in some way or another.

Olivia and Billie managed to create QUALITY bodies of work unlike miss Ronald McSwift

Lmao. This is literally nearly every artist and every album minus a handful every single year. Taylor has had plenty of those recently, but my god, I get dumber every time I read some of yalls posts here. Glad I rarely visit these days.

But is that the case for what is supposedly the biggest album every year, as is the case here? To reference your own words, perhaps you're not that off with your second statement if you can't see the difference between this phenomena happening to "every artist and every album" and what is arguably the biggest album of the year statistically.

[Mr. Duff]

TTPD is such an underrated era. It's like an underrated Folklore. I hope one day it thrives and get a viral hit like Cardigan or a timeless yearly hit like August.

Taylor is bigger than any one album, and the Eras Tour has magnified that to the nth degree. Her fandom isn't just listening to one album right now. See all her albums on the charts. She is getting plenty of streams. And, frankly, she is on such a different level that Billie or Olivia. She's that far above them.

 

TTPD is undoubtedly the biggest album of 2024 no matter how much you whine. Good luck next year.

I've been hearing more and more Swifties say it's in their top 3 lately. It's a dense album, and not very mainstream, so it's taken a while to digest it. It's not in my top 3 personally, but I absolutely love it. It wasn't a Taylor album I ever expected or wanted, but I'm so glad I have it.

? Stop insulting Barbra like that… She's a much better vocalist than Gaga who's considered good in today's Pop landscape.

 

A country legend like Brooks being local isn't confusing either.

 

Extraordinary vocalists like Barbra will always be respected and timeless. Is it really that difficult for you to understand why a talented vocalist was able to sell a lot at one point?

It's an entirely different situation from Swift whose weak vocals will be questioned in 50 years and people will be genuinely confused by her success.

[ericcartman]

Taylor is like 17 years into her career. She can't dominate every list. The fact she's competing with these new girls in their primes is a testament of her longevity 

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

It was a frontloaded era and there was only so much she could do to inflate its longevity and actual resonance with the GP months after release before it all came down to how much people actually liked the album overall, which is what we're seeing now.

We've been hearing about how Taylor's music is not going to stand the test of time unlike other "more impactful" albums and blah blah since like 2008. It has happened in her early days, during Speak Now, happened with folklore and how it had "no hits to carry it going forward".

 

And of course it also happened with Lover in 2019 when Ariana and Billie were outstreaming it upon release. Fast forward to 2024 and:

11,904,181,902 (+5,266,160) - Lover

11,884,990,125 (+3,851,627) - WHEN WE ALL FALL ASLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?

8,254,791,706 (+2,431,526) - thank u, next

 

We're about to reach 2 decades of people simply being wrong using the very same argument by now.
