Oh yes, I can now remember that like 93% of its units were pure sales. Not surprising, seeing the numbers on the OP.

 

Meanwhile albums with actual longevity and genuine consumption from the general public don't even get one week at #1

All that longevity yet still haven't caught up to the opening week units of TTPD as per Billboard, despite it being months now  that fourth week still STINGING is hilarious

An album's opening week is really not the argument you want to use when discussing longevity. But you guys live in your own delusion so go ahead, it's not like you can erase those disastrous streaming numbers.

Billboard longevity isn't the game you want to play either considering which one clocked nearly 20 weeks at #1

Lol, they had a typo on the date, so SOUR still outstreams? 

 

I didn't find the 22 Dec one for ES but here is a bonus for you:

 

 

SOUR: #16 +5,759,322

TTPD (default variant): #?+5,708,978

The gap between TTPD and BRAT being less than 2M also despite Swifites doing any and everything to downplay Charli's success for no reason. Oh it was bad for #her

Not people dragging Taylor's streaming numbers in 2024. OTHs really have nothing in their hands 

Blue album+green album combined haven't reached TTPD's first week total of 2.61 million units yet. 

[GentleEarthquake]

this happens when you release your songs like hot dogs... b-b-but it's her job!!!

In the year of 2024 she'll go back to most streamed artist daily in 2 days as SZA falls below her tomorrow and Christmas right after

[JO1s]

The tortured listeners department was a heavily fan driven album. 

 

Yes taylor has a lot of fans but this is a highly forgettable album hence why no one talked about it besides it's variants and numbers.

The drag isn't dragging because how is an album that sold less than TTPD doing bigger streaming numbers?

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.

Still the most talked, most streamed, most consumed album of the year. Other albums weren't even #1 in their release week.

And yet it's already being forgotten. So everything I said is true. Just because your cult likes to eat cds doesn't change that fact.

[bielneira]

Billie's is the most impressive one: 10 tracks, no singles pre-release, 7 months, and still pulling 14 million streams daily

[chiliam]

maybe go back to school and learn math or something

This thread isn't about total sales or different ways of consuming music, it's about other albums outstreaming the standard edition of TTPD.

Stay on topic Calvin!
