very convenient considering you're always posting the meaningless stat of the week if it makes Drake look good unless I'm mixing you up with someone else

Drake has only 3 solo diamond singles. The rest either have features or are features.

We thinking pure sales gonna take it over a mill?

i'm so confused what the argument here is. goosebumps is good despite of kendrick. his part sucks

Again, even if this is true, this is completely irrelevant to the fact that Kendrick Lamar is featured on the song

Whether you like it or not is irrelevant

Funny how every time Kendrick achieves something commercially notable, y’all wanna shift the convo to quality

pure sales is gonna push it towards a mill but that’s still disappointing for her standards

for 12 songs, not really

over a million is pretty much guaranteed with anything taylor releases, i'd be surprised if it didn't hit 2 million.

Damn I was spot on in my SEA prediction

if this doesn’t do 2 mill it’s a flop

Wait.. there are ppl who think Taylor isn’t doing atleast 2.5 million first week

It’s not. 500K SEA for 12 songs is remarkable, only Taylor Swift can accomplish that.

Her pure sales total is gonna be super high, I think she clears 2M overall again

y'all are not slick overestimating how much an album will sell and then using that to clown an artist you don't like. stop it

She did 1.7m with a re-recording.

Anyone who thinks it’s debatable if she’s doing 2 million is an idiot.

well i don't think anyone expects her to match the tortured poets department, that was a 32 track double album. but coming within 600k units of it isn't unrealistic at all.

that was then and this is now. the taylor fatigue is very real

that said, it's crazy how if taylor wasn't in the most uninspired stage of her career she probably could have beaten 25's first week by now. she's doing these numbers with albums that are pretty widely considered to be the worst in her discography lol.

I don’t think you understand how her game works lol.

She bloats pure sales with a bunch of different variants making her fanbase repeat buy. The general public fatigue is not interfering with that.

The streaming numbers don’t even matter. Her team makes sure she will meet the metrics by just making more and more variants until she reaches whatever goal.

1989 re-recording was her highest first week sales ever because it had the most variants for any of her releases ever to that point. Not because it was the most hyped release of her career with the general public

Are you serious? The hype for this album has been everywhere lmao

The first track literally just broke the record for the highest first day streams in Spotify history

With how heavily she was selling all those vinyl variants, pure sales might take it over 2 million but she is not touching the Adele record.

i also remember billboard creating new rules to limit how much digital versions you can release

adele has more distance between her album so the scarcity helps. her releases are rare events
