Her fanbase is not as big as Taylor's. Ariana had 20 versions and still matched the 9 variants 1 6 2

That's impressive. the fact that she pulled that when Miley had flowers and Ariana Y,A? and WCBF. It's impressive, specially since early predictions were like 30-40k with streaming added Edited March 28 by BeingRicardo 2 5

thatsmydemi Posted March 28 Posted March 28 (edited) Selena's team was the smartest out of the three. If Ariana or Miley had followed Selena's strategy (releasing a new variant each day), they would've sold even more. They knew how to make her fanbase buy the album more than once in a smart way. Releasing exclusive songs with each variants, discounting all the variants, releasing unreleased fan favourite tracks… now THIS is how you incentivise sales and keep the interest of your fanbase throughout the whole week. This is far better than releasing 10 variants on day 1. Edited March 28 by thatsmydemi 9
wish Posted March 28 Posted March 28 No because she pushed an insane amount of digital variants. Let's see how she compares to Miley and Ariana in her second week 7 1 3

corotinho Posted March 28 Posted March 28 They will say anything to discredit this achieve, but no matter what they said, Selena managed to out do Miley's debut without any hit or playlisting 3 1

thatsmydemi Posted March 28 Posted March 28 4 minutes ago, ShadeIena said: Babe ariana had like 15 It's not about the number, it's about the way they played with it. If Selena had dropped 15 variants on day 1 with just different covers, she may not have sold the same. As I said, they encouraged fans to buy them releasing brand new songs, a fan favourite unreleased track, dropping the price… And let's not get into how they used Seven Heavens to sell too hahaha. Selena's release was really entertaining to witness. 4
OrgVisual Posted March 28 Posted March 28 What about 2nd week? Or album totals? Why Selena stans suddenly get brave again 1
