popmusic Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 (edited) Quote According to data from trusted US market monitor BuzzAngle passed to MBW, the LP sold at least 566,000 copies on its first day of availability in the States on Friday (November 10). That figure covers sales from the likes of iTunes and key physical chains – but doesn’t include data from a couple of blockbuster retailers which are yet to report. Once all the data is in, the expectation is that Reputation will have comfortably shifted over 600,000 albums in the US in its debut 24 hours. The LP is now anticipated to sell somewhere around 1.2m units in the US in its opening week. That eventuality would require it to sell an average of 100,000 copies per day from today (Saturday, November 11) up to and including Thursday (November 16). Swift’s previous LP, 1989, sold just under 1.3m copies in the US in its opening seven days back in late 2014. Reputation looks likely to land in the same ballpark – with key TV and promotional activity yet to come. Team Swift undertook something of a gamble with Reputation, holding it off streaming services during its initial sales period. Although the four lead tracks from the LP – Call It Want You Want, Gorgeous, …Ready For It? and Look What You Made Me Do – are available on the likes of Spotify and Apple Music, fans wanting to hear the whole record are having to purchase it from the likes of iTunes and physical retailers.Music Business Worldwide https://www.musicbusinessworldwide.com/taylor-swifts-reputation-smashes-past-500k-sales-day-one-us/ So basically iTunes + Target = 566k UPDATE Quote [UPDATE: It was even bigger than expected – the full numbers are now in, and Reputation sold 717k in its opening 24 hours. It is now expected to shift 1.4m+ in week one.] Edited November 12, 2017 by popmusic

But I feel like with Tay, her next days will have more of a decline, with Adele it's different cuz everyone is her fanbase and obviously not everyone will buy it first day. 1.49M first day sales for 25. 700k
Cheers Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 I knew she would do 2m (or very close to it) easily and y'all were saying no

CBXC Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 Queen of sales. Just for the record, that's over $10 million worth of sales in one day

Adonis Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 She beat my expectation of 600k+. She has another hit album.
Divine Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 2 minutes ago, Cockney Cupcake said: Those count for billboard year end right? Yep I believe so. Bruno should have the #1 album of the year.
By the Water Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 500k for Red, 600k for 1989, 700k for reputation

prézli Posted November 11, 2017 Posted November 11, 2017 10 minutes ago, iHype. said: Further, Reputation could become 2017’s biggest selling album after only one week on sale. Through the week ending Nov. 2, Ed Sheeran’s ÷ (Divide) is the year’s top seller, with 909,000 copies sold.
