alexanderao Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 1 minute ago, St. Charles said: I mean all of this, too. I think she's declining with the GP, but her massive fanbase will be enough to bolster her up this era. My thoughts are that if it's just that the GP isn't inter this era, then what will happen when most of the fans have already purchased the album? There are a lot of things working in this album's favor right now. Spreading out the video release for End Game, addition to streaming, Black Friday, and now Christmas coming up. If she doesn't have anything planned for January, then I'm not seeing exactly what's going to be holding the album up from then on? I guess it won't matter since it'll still have sold a ton, but I'm just wondering what her next step is going to be. Well, it's going to stabilize somewhere. There will come a time in a few months when most of its units are from SEA. So you're right to speculate that if the GP really isn't into it this era (which I don't think it is), it will stabilize at a pretty low position.

She won't be #1 in the next 3 weeks, but there's a strong possibility of returning to the top after that. Post Malone's album is reportedly coming next week it will be probably be a streaming monster his current one sold just 100k in pure sales but over 2m with SPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her going back to #1 in the first 2 weeks of 2018 pretty much just depends on if End Game is atleast a solid hit by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iHype. Posted December 3, 2017 Author Share Posted December 3, 2017 These numbers do prove Black Friday and Christmas boosts are a thing of the past (for albums that aren't Holiday albums) though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 So Kendrick Lamar will have the #1 album for both the Billboard year-end chart and the Soundscan report for the calendar year right?

No, that's when the Billboard year ended. Nielsen releases real YTD numbers -- Jan. 1 to Dec. 31. But Kendrick will still be #1 for that time period.

Eternium Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 She’s already guaranteed the 2018 year end #1. There’s no possible way to drag her at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Movimento Perpétuo Posted December 3, 2017 Share Posted December 3, 2017 Kinda underwhelming numbers, but I can see Taylor having more two or three weeks at #1 and she's almost crossing the 2M mark, no need to shade her lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney needed 2 years and six singles to go 2x Platinum. Reputation is already 2x Platinum. Of course Post Malone is growing, but if End Game is a big hit and Taylor manages another two that are mildly successful, she has this. I expect Drake to fall a bit, ngl.

But it was a bigger era. 14x platinum to 10x platinum. only female with first two albums diamond, 1 of 7 females to have 2 diamond albums. BOMT was the explosive meteoric phenomenon Oops was a definitive era so that's why it feels bigger But my point was that you can't duplicate your definitive eras unless the sales are low enough to achieve. Artists like Taylor and Adele go 4x platinum or diamond...but 1989 and 21 can't be duplicated. 1 hour ago, Eternium said: She’s already guaranteed the 2018 year end #1.

Yeah, Post for streaming and Timberlake will be close. at least she has #1 female on lock. 1 hour ago, alexanderao said: This seems quite premature, especially with Post Malone and Drake on the slate for 2018. Post will do fine in streams not in sales and all Taylor will need to do is have hits and that'll keep Post at bay Drake's definitive era was Hotline bling/One dance...that won't be duplicated again 43 minutes ago, Eternium said: Stoney needed 2 years and six singles to go 2x Platinum.

First week should easily set streaming records. Yeah that'll be true but to sustain against 2M sales plus 3-4 potential hits from Taylor...
