Oh wow. So he always wins in the end.

That other post said #1 isn’t likely since it’s not #1 on iTunes; Spotify or Apple Music… it’ll be a miracle if he pulls it off.

Do they count Audiomack and Pandora streams in the UK?

But I was told Ed was bombing, even in the UK, where it was said that folklore had higher first day streams than his album?

Oh wow. Not Lana doing JORDI numbers. People said Maroon 5 was over when they debuted similarly… Anyway, CBL is such a massive album. As a fan, I have to say it lacks the replay value of his last studio album, Scorpion, but I’ll always root for black artists to succeed.

That would be amazing.

A creepy holiday staple This song, a multi-week #1 during its initial chart run, is over 13 years old. Truly a classic.

A true holiday classic. A multi-week Hot 100 #1 that sold 5M copies and is still getting millions of streams on the days leading up to Halloween every year.

He already said, if you watched his Apple Music interview with Zane, that he’s not looking at success as numbers anymore, but having longevity and touring. Like Coldplay.

He hasn’t had a massive hit like “Shape of You” or “Perfect,” so these numbers are reasonable for 14 tracks. Plus he can’t promote due to being Covid-positive. But yes, Adele will STOMP him when 30 is released.

It’s definitely missing “Diamonds” too.

The way she’s always in-demand… She always seems to win, it seems. I CAN stand it.

What about audio streams only? All of these (sans “All I Want for Christmas Is You”) premiered with music videos…
