OMG. This thread is a mess.  

 

I'm a Taylor hater (but I'll still bop to her music), and even I can't say **** about this.

I was hoping she would only do like 800k, but  

All we can hope for is a steep 2nd week drop now, and I don't think that will really happen.

And you really think that Adele would pull a 12m first week if she had released in 2000? 

It doesn't work that way. 

This. Some people are just immune to the sales decline.

Not Taylor vs Britney again, the answer was and always will be obvious.

Britney was huge worldwide there is no point in comparing them

Proud of Taylor for having the highest debut ever by a Latina artist.

bye

As long as she beats Britney’s record after getting so close 2 times I’ll be happy. She’ll be at 2m in a month anyway.

stop compairing britney vs taylor.

 

taylor pop career and global career start in 2012 (Red Era)..

basically this is her 5th years in the game(worldwide)..

so it was expected that Reputation will sold more than 1989 (or equals).

if Reputation sold less than 1989 her next era will start to fall more.

Taylors achievment is incredible but i would like to see Taylor release an album not in October/November.  Oops! was released in May when album sales are lower. I fully believe if Taylors’s past 4 albums were released in the Spring they wouldnt have sold as much.

People need to stop with this "1m is equivalent to 5m sales in 2001" thing.

 

After an amount, it becomes more about the artist's name than the state of the industry. Adele wouldn't sell 12m in 2001 for example. We are not talking about Ashlee Simpson debuting with 400k sales.

 

Still, Taylor Swift is bigger than Britney Spears, i say it as i witnessed both eras. Don't let the nostalgia fool you.

Britney was a worldwide phenomenon at her peak, not even comparable.

i am not surpised tho, Taylor stans are mostly 4-14 years old who haven’t had the honour to live through Britneys phenomal success and impact, so yeah.

 

Good for her tho, she is consistent on dishing out good material.

Technically? Maybe. But i can bet a million dollars than in some years Taylor's songs won't be remembered/have long lasting impact while the same can 't be said for Adele. Don't get me wrong, i like Taylor's music but i find it silly that Taylor stans try to diminish Britney's achievements. 

The fact that y'all are not even joking about all of this is what gets me

Maybe Taylor can have her first Diamond album with Reputation!

Her albums have been so frontloaded that she has yet to make it to Diamond certification but she might be able to do it this time! 

Frontloaded? You do realize all of Taylor's album have charted longer than every Britney album...

But I was told her this is her decline era? 

Nothing except 1st week sales so far indicates anytging but a decline for her. Let's see if rep does half of what 1989 did in total. Not to mention the singles. Initial hype coming off the 2/3rd biggest era this decade guaranteed record breaking openings

Don’t play dumb now. You know what he means by decline. Y’all were wanting her to flop to oblivion and she’s out here pulling numbers.

 

No one is expecting her to beat 1989, that’s a once in a lifetime type of success. So...

Can we stop comparing Britney and Taylor's success? Taylor deserves all the success she is getting right now.

Nah her global career stared in 2006 when her first album sold 10m SPS. Check chartmasters for the receipts. 

Britney stans still comparing BritBrit from 2000 and a currently relevant and successful artist?

Gerl, y'all don't have to ALWAYS bring up 'ney sales from almost two decades ago in every damn HDD thread and completely derail the conversation, just like you did when Beautiful Trauma numbers came out.

 

Britney and Adele stans should stop discrediting Taylor's success. Reputation debuting with a million copies sold in a week is still a milestone for her considering the amount of #TaylorSwiftIsOver parties hosted on Twitter by Kats, Kimye fans last year. 

Sooo impressive  

We all use Tay’s songs but sweetie, you just can’t say that she’s bigger than Britney was in her prime.

 

You just don’t.

 

Britney was a pop god.

I love Taylor, but lets to be real.

those 10m SPS must be came from 2012 till now.. Red+1989 ha global impact...

 

 

in SouthEast Asia esp my country before Red era she only known As a girl who sing Love Story & You belong with me.

its a logic from current pattern white pop girl career.

 

britney, her prime peaking after 4th era (ITZ)

Gaga peaking in her 3rd era (Artpop)

Katy peaking after her 3rd era (Prism)

 

so, Reputation is Tay 3rd pop era (overall 6 era if we count her first 3 country album)

its make a sense.. at least for me.

 

if we count Reputation as Tay's 3rd pop era. and this era still have a huge success (1,3M sales) her next era (4th pop era) might not as successful like Reputation era.

but I hope I wrong.. because I enjoy Taylor music.
