    Timeless catalog and the tour really brought people back to those albums. She got 9 albums in the top 50.
    Drake should see a similar boost with his mini eras tour assuming he performs well and his old stuff held up!

    ayo you on atrl?

    225k purely off streams = she's not her

    the really impressive thing is that none of her other albums/ songs suffered any decline at all as result of the new release, she still 80M stream on spotify with the other discography the day when the 'speak now rerecording' came out. thats crazy.

    What songs has anybody dropped since 2020 that are Diamond? Blinding lights, life is good, and Stay? I think that’s it

    Also I can’t find the exact numbers but since 2020, Taylor has dropped 6 albums (3 of which were re-recordings). If I had to guess, she takes up 4 of the top 5 biggest sales weeks of the decade so far.

    I mean my point was she doesnt have colossal hits right now even if shes selling well first week. Even my turn sold more overall than that one album with her croonin in the forest

    which song she dropped since 2020 that is diamond?

    1. the first time she made pop music starting from 2020 is October 2022. Anti hero is at 970M ish stream on spotify already so it is well on its way there.

    2. the two years prior to that, she was only doing re-recordings and indie-folk albums, which obviously will not have the audience-ship that normal, mainstream pop genre would have.

    3. what year/time period did you have in mind when you said "her complementary"? cus by having 5-6 diamonds before reaching 2020 means shes already more accomplished than 99% of her contemporaries (artists who debuted mid 2000s to early 2010s.)

    perhaps you have some newer folks who got started from the streaming era in mind, like posty?

    “big” is such a relative term

    she has endless “big” records. plus id easily have her career in the last 5 years than these artists that pop these single “big” records

    remember when she got a 10 minute song to #1

    remember when billboard top 10 was all taylor songs

    remember when her stadium tour sold out during presale in a few minutes

    yeah id have that over a Blinding Lights song

    true artistry, being herself, good team, and being genuine

    her songwriting is amazing, pushing herself to evolve as an artist, shes detailed and cares

    1. she doesnt just have a big first week;

    both 'midnights' and 'lover' (album from late 2019) have sold 5M units at this point, right alongside morgan wallen's 'dangerous' (sold 5.5m) to be the first albums that can reach diamond this decade.

    she has a big first week on fan-related contents like the re-recording but obviously that stuff is not gonna have crazy longevity.

    2. as far as Singles goes, nowadays even the biggest songs you just wont hear them playing over and over everywhere like the last decade, because we can all just listen to whatever we want on our phones rather than having to tune into radio.

    morgan's last night is super big rn but do you hear it play everywhere? not really.

    Anti Hero is the 13th biggest hit this decade so far, and it's still charting ~13th place right now.

    yea well read the chart, last night is 18th on the 2020 biggest list right now, anti hero is at 13th.

    so the fact that you didnt hear her song is more to do with your environment than anything.

    since ive never heard 'last night' in my life, does that mean its not a big hit? not really

    cmon man everyone knows hits are still hits. pop's album had colossal hits after he died. my turn was like the biggest album hits wise of 2020. There were other albums since then. Taylor don't got the hits like that no more. That's why it's shocking to see her sell so much. But her numbers do drop a bit in comparison to the massive first week sales

    sir, morgan is clearing 100k first week. He has the biggest album right now. It's not environment. He's everywhere at this point. And being number 18 doesn't mean you wont hear something you reaching hard. Not to mention Morgan will have multiple platinum songs on his 2 2020s albums

    nigga name 5 colossal taylor records. I can name colossal records from lil baby and pop smoke because they can be backed up by the numbers. I didn't even say Morgan had colossal records yet. I said he will have platinum records because you downplayed a record going number 18 like that isn't a hit. Anything in the top 20 is a hit man historically lmao

    Yes, taylor has fans. Eminem sells out stadiums as well. Doesn't mean he has colossal records for this decade like that. Global megastars can sell out stadiums. Water is wet
