The definition of front loaded is when huge majority of the total sales of your album is on week 1. Which has happened with every week 1 million seller Taylor Swift has had. I don't see the confusion...

 

i do see the confusion

If SPS and YouTube existed in Britney's prime time, she would have opened with 1+ million multiple times, so let's not.

 

OT: go Taylor!

But Taylor sold 1 million pure album sales 4 times... SPS is really much more a thing for overall mumbers. Not so much for first weeks

 

And YouTube doesnt count on the BB200... Or are you saying YouTube somehow helps you sell albums?

I would say this is #accurate!  

yet you argued that 'reputation' is/will be frontloaded several posts above, like every previous Taylor album... girl, what?

Britney & Adele fans were NOT on board with the Kats or Kimye fans. I can assure you  

And I didn't say they were part of the Twitter party.

Come On Over is 98. Up! Is 2003. Shania defeats Britney sales with just those two albums alone.

nope she actually trails by a couple million and i'm not even playing the 5.5M =11x platinum due to double disc game for the Up! album.

Good on Taylor for bringing trinity sales along with britney and adele over the past 20 years

Why the **** are people trying to take anything away from Taylor? We all wish our faves could open with 1M+. GTF over yourselves. 

There is nothing to shade, unbelievable success for Taylor

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.

 

It's the only thing they have I'm afraid, they did the same to P!nk 

 

You cannot compete where you don't compare. 

 

Not haters trying to discredit Taylor. She's one of the only two artists who can manage to get a 1M+ pure sales in a week and people are doing the most to downplay this. Keep gasping at straws, pressed stans!

Are we really here trying to discredit a 1M+ opening week in 2017? What even is this thread? 

This. I'm far from a stan, but dear god this is ridiculous. Hate her or not, give credit where it's due or just move to another thread. 

Lmao. Some users using Adele to make Taylor looking like loser

She is still winning in her own game

Her sales keep increasing is the proof

No just NO, she’s not on their level.

I think is time to admit Taylor has passed or is about to pass Britney in US, I mean opening 4 times with 1m+ this decade is just insaneeeee. Taylor will never pass Britney WW, but in US she’s definitely bigger overall as in commercial success.

Britney's strenght wasnt in the Us so Idk why you guys bring her into this

She didnt have much hits in ths us in her prime..in fact she was mostly global..

Its a known fact

The only people who should be compared to taylor are Beyonce,xtina,pink(?) Etc

Artist who were big in the us bassically 

Taylor haters keep bringing others to try and drag her down and it only plays a bad favor to the ones they are bringing 

Not surprised we caught the bait.

Good4TayTay

Ouch. Her team must be in shambles right now.

When will we get the final numbers?

of course. it's not even time to admit. We been knew

Britney 34x platinum 37.5x platinum eligible without SPS around 41x platinum with SPS

Adele 28x platinum

Taylor 26.5x platinum without SPS

reputation will most likely get 4x platinum with SPS

Taylor will surpass Britney when SPS in her old albums and then with reputation

Adele's next album will have her surpass britney

 

Taylor will be the 8th best selling female (britney currently is) in the US

Adele will be the 9th

Britney will remain the 10th and eventually they will update her stats and she will become the 9th overtaking Reba

 

none of the other girls will get in the top 10.

 

Taylor got a million this era and possibly will get a million selling first week next era so I'm sure she is on track to eventually surpass Shania too.

 

britney, taylor and adele remain the album selling trinity of the past 20 years
