Can someone post the percentage changes of:

 

Red

1989

Speak Now (this one is most comparable since it didn't have some massive hit attached to it during it's release)

 

Then we can actually determine what is going on here.

percentage changes of which period of time?

Speak Now declined 34% in its third week. 

 

If you compare how nobody buys albums anymore compared to 2010, the album wasn't on streaming, etc it's really nothing shocking. 

Anyone logical also didn't expect this era to be as successful as 1989. 

[By the Water]

I mean, looking at the chart it doesn't seem like Black Friday had much of an impact outside of Christmas albums.

no one believes those streaming numbers that came from the notorious streaming service she owns

 

after three weeks

 

reputation

1.6m sales

3 weeks at #1 (4th predicted)

 

Lemonade

800k sales

1 week at #1 (never returned to #1)

 

200k pure sales away from Lemonade's total already

 

Yeah, I hope she can get 1.9-2M before the year ends

so hopefully 400k between the next 3 weeks which seems achievable

This comment does not make sense. Stop embarrassing yourself already  

 

 

OT: hmm come to think of it 147k ain't bad at all

You need to calm down Elle, so aggressive and it’s so not cute! Stick to the chart discourse

Um real funny considering the BOMB in your avi has never seen a Billboard  why would you chart for someone who doesn’t even stan and then try to come for the main girls? SZA is so not relevant sistrenaza it’s 2011

Bjork's favorite past-time is ****ing animals... we're done here.

[Thomasuxx]

Some members trying to claim these numbers are bad...
I'm not a big Taylor fan but this is an impressive third week, especially now that sales are almost dead.

Speak Now's 3rd week

#2 212k (-34%)

Red's 3rd week

#1 196k (-43%)

1989's 3rd week

#1 312k (-22%)

 

reputation's 3rd week

#1 131k (-43%)

 

1989 was an anomaly

 

this is on par with her regular third weeks and arguably a bit stronger considering the decline in album sales

Taylor's sales are bad. I don't know why people are acting like their not and trying to deflect by mentioning other artist.  With all the promo she has she should be selling like Adele.

...what?  She’s been doing nothing except irrelevant holiday festivals + one SNL appearance, and those didn’t even start until 2 days ago. Anything to discredit her though I guess! 

 

 

anyhow. Queen  can’t wait for her to pass 2 million before the end of the year!

[SoSickOfThatSOL]

Certain base being jealous of Taylor and trying to discredit her.

all she needs is 2M sales in 2017

1M sales in 2018 + SPS

4x platinum.

 

She'll have 6 consecutive 4x platinum at minimum eras.

End game in Jan I did something bad in April Don't blame me in July and Delicate in October should achieve this.

What promo?  Performing an album track on Fallon and SNL is now big promo? 

[bookreader]

Cool. I can imagine at least 6-7 weeks at #1

[Cover]

Reputation is no 1989, for sure.

Oh wow, Speak Now did 212k on its 3rd week and still wasn't #1? How so 

The way sales are dead in 2017

right? like wasnt Katy Perry first week numbers just 35k more than this?  the nerve
