You don't know for sure that Billboard's numbers won't include more sales. It's happened before. Either way, why are you perpetuating this silly shade against Taylor? I know you are not a true stan and you typically pop in Britney threads or create them when attention is involved but you are making true Britney stans look bothered by Taylor's incredible achievement. Adele/britney/taylor stans shouldn't even be dissing one another. They are the trinity of album sales and accolades over the past 20 years. It's great Taylor got 4 million sellers in a row.

If that were the case look at all of the albums that were released that didn't go diamond or even 5x platinum when albums were selling more than singles or streams. Um. Duh? Nobody is saying selling albums in 2000 was easy, it was just a lot easier than in 2017. Britney was really really huge, but not Taylor level huge. Again the music industry revenue is down by 50% compared to 2000 and Taylor will still pass Britney in total US album sales soon. That is pretty insane Edited November 18, 2017 by simmnfierzig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thas is pretty insane I guess my point is that it doesn't change the fact that very few people did it then even when more common or now. People make it out as if everyone was getting million sellers when there were a select few. and yes Taylor will pass adele next month and with SPS is already passed Britney but her team hasn't certified including SPS for albums yet? I'm sure taylor's team will certify Reputation 2x platinum by years end to where it'll rank in RIAA 34x platinum Britney 28.5x platinum Taylor 28x platinum Adele My guess is Taylor's team will eventually use SPS and she'll be 35/6x platinum before Reputation's era ends. The fact that she almost matched sales from 3 years ago at the prime of her pop stardom and before backlash is what should be applauded yet people are picking the low hanging fruit and just shading. Strange? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange? Well yeah. We could live without all the mentions of Britney or Adele in this thread Many people doubted if Taylor could do 1M again. And then with those underperforming singles. Yet she came through with those 1.266M Even though it will very likely end up as her lowest selling album overall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Britney has had the record for 15 years. Adele beat it 2 years ago. Though Taylor's fanbase made a thread this week, claiming she would do much better than Britney's record. They were also discussing about Taylor beating Britney in this thread, which is stupid considering Adele took the crown ! So I simply answered saying she would not beat Oops' sales, she's apparently doing around 1,2M, which is amazing for sure. They should stop comparing it to Britney now that she's 2.

But Reputation could easily go 2x platinum by the end of the year and eventually sell 3M and get 4M+ SPS it would be her what 6th 4x platinum album that'll be an incredible achievement in itself. Already starting off winning. #1 hit, top 5 hit, platinum + debut week.

CaptainMusic Posted November 19, 2017 Share Posted November 19, 2017 @ anyone trying to shade these sales when most people were hesitant (myself included) that she would even sell a million again.
