State of Grace. Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) they way some of the Britney stans are still clinging to that damn record when it was already BROKEN two years ago anyways these numbers are incredible never thought she'd even reach +1M and she exceeded my expectations by miles Edited November 18, 2017 by State of Grace.

It’s not because less people tend to buy music that it’s better, she’s debuting with less copies sold and that’s a fact, not an opinion.

It was obvious she would get that. It'll be interesting where the album goes now...having listened to it...it isn't up to 1989's standard....

peterstyles13 Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Why are people talking about Britney's old record? We aren't in 1999 anymore people, can we stay on topic? OT: The fact that she's doing just as good as 1989 in a WAY WORSE sales climate is simply amazing, too bad some users are jealous and trying to downplay her achievements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
das_jerk Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 (edited) So many people are totally missing context in this thread when comparing Britney and Taylor... I mean just take a look at this table of "fastest-selling albums in America:" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lists_of_fastest-selling_albums#United_States 2000, the year that Britney sold 1,319,000 copes of "Oops!... I Did It Again," saw four other albums sell over a million. In fact, Britney had only the fourth highest selling album that year. By contrast, Taylor's "Reputation" will be by far the highest selling album of 2017 (as well as 2016). Moreover, where Britney's "Oops" is an outlier in her career in terms of sales, Taylor's "Reputation" is part of a larger trend that has seen Taylor dominate album sales lists this decade and continually improve on her previous sales. Thus, Taylor's achievement is more impressive because (i) it is more of an outlier in comparison to her contemporaries and (ii) it is part of an unparalleled dominance of the music business. Taylor has dominated the music business for eight years. Something Britney (and Adele, *NSYNC, the Backstreet Boys, etc.) can not say.

Fighting for 2nd place when taylor has 4 entries on that list and adele already broke it. It's Adele's Record. Second fastest selling female album is "embarrassing" a record she held for 15 years isn't "embarrassing" A record no one but ADELE could break OT: Congrats Taylor more than deserved and an amazing feat to have 4 consecutive 1m+ openings, a shame that the girls who don't stan you will use it bash a certain legend who their own faves can't touch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your fave couldn’t do it when she gave her CD away in magazines nor with free pizzas, so you’d think you’d show Britney a little respect when she managed it with just one version that cost more than the average Taylor CD. 37 minutes ago, das_jerk said: So many people are totally missing context in this thread when comparing Britney and Taylor...

Taylor wasn’t even the only act to sell 1M in one country this week. Namie Amuro just did it, too, with Foreverly. And I find it funny that you compare Britney to N*SYNC and the BSB to downplay her success (both of whom she’s more successful than) while disregarding acts from Taylor’s generation like Rihanna and Adele (both of whom are more successful than her). Nobody’s denying Taylor’s success so idk why you’re coming for Britney’s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BZZ Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 This is what I expected, in fact despite predictions this week lower seemed most likely. Look at the singles, like they aren't connecting as much and she isn't doing as much to promote. Be happy she outdid 1989 at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serendipity Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 I mean AMAZING sales but even I feel let down, I expected a bit more. Britney stans clinging onto a record which isn't a record. I hate Taylor but she's not open with 1 million once but FOUR times, and last I checked, Adele broke your faves "record". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mau ® Posted November 18, 2017 Share Posted November 18, 2017 Kinda odd some people randomly come in here claiming they're dissapointed by the numbers. Who the **** expected a 1M opener again in 2017? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
