Why are certain people with certain avis laughing at 202k 

Because the standards for Taylor are so high that anything that isn't a #1 is considered a Witness-level event 

[St. Charles]

No shade to Taylor, but good for Bad Bunny. Taylor will have many other opportunities to go #1 so I'm glad he was able to snag it, if only for a week.

Love Taylor but this was nawt it

[elincomprendid]

Female albums (not by Taylor) to sell more pure than "Lover (Live From Paris)" during the streaming era

30 (2021)
Chromatica (2020)
Cry Petty (2018)
Beautiful Trauma (2017)
Lemonade (2016)
25 (2015)

Ony 6 albums have achieved this in the last 10 years, based on the laughs of some users in here you'd expect this number was something easy to achieve by their favs...

BTW looking at the avis of people laughing at a 200K pure sales week makes this thread a bit funny, not gonna lie

 

nobody is laughing at the sales, we know she could fart on a track and y'all would still buy it.. we're laughing cause her tricks didn't work this time   In the last two years she's blocked many different artists that deserved to get their moment at #1 just cause she felt like extending another one of her stupid records. Should have picked a different week if she wanted a #1 for her live album

Even when it's a live EP-length album comprised entirely of tracks from five years ago, on the standard edition.  Gotta let them have this one, though, because her next full release will be business as usual, whatever it is.

 

Although, this was successful enough that I'd really like to see them finally move on to an Eras Tour live album. That could legitimately threaten a million copies, if she can sell 161k vinyl of Loser Live in an hour. I seriously don't know why they haven't done it yet at this point.

If the situation was as easy as just picking another week it might be that she is just not as chart obsessed as you all think she is!

DTMF(s) and a couple other songs from the album are still riding high, nobody significant is dropping soon (and I have doubts whether The Weeknd could even block him), I think he's set for 2-3 weeks at least.

I have to say physical sales are basically merch sales now, and it just rubs me the wrong way to count that as equal to pure music consumption. The way artists and fanbases abuse them should lead to some rule changes.

The imaginary Disney villain version of Taylor who sits up in some tower cackling and plotting which weeks to block women, POC, and Zach Bryan specifically has finally been defeated!

[Elusive Chanteuse]

Yay!! The evil has been defeated momentarily. I bought the album for 4.99 so I'm glad, he deserves.

Yet she released these right before the tracking week ended

Whether she does it purposely or not it has happened more often than not. There is absolutely no reason for her to re-release this silly live EP at this time. Make it free if its for her fans. She already grossed over a billion on tour. 

[LastKiss]

Not some of y'all kiing when she outsold all ya faves with a 6 year old LIVE album

congrats to bad bunny

If you're going by how much money she has there's no reason for her to ever release anything for any amount of money again until the heat death of the universe. The point of my post is that she's not maliciously targeting specific artists with these releases, not that she doesn't want #1s or something.

I wish she wasn't  the truth is she just couldn't wait to break another record..and she thought she had this in the bag cause usually she gets what she wants. It just didn't work this time

[BrokenMachine]

Fraudulence lost 

 

But talent lost too 

[TeeJay]

So I didn't care either way who got the #1 this week, but I must say...

 

Bad bunny getting the top spot by ONLY 1k is not the impressive achievement some of yall are making it out to be when he damn near lost the #1 spot to a LIVE ALBUM of a 6 YEAR OLD recording that was already released once before and almost outsold his BRAND NEW ALBUM with roughly an hour of sales + a few last minute streams of the digital version. If anything, I find it embarrassing for him that it was this close. But good for him I guess and good for you taylor haters who think this is some kinda lose for taylor lmao.

[45seconds]

Congrats to both! 

[The Music Industry]

Oh Lover the cursed era that you are 

[Cruel Summer]

Now I will also say congrats to Bad Bunny, because it's clear his album is connecting with people in a way that very few albums do, with its week-over-week growth  Seems like he has at least a few more weeks coming, too.
