kasich2028Well guess what? When MJ died, he moved 35 million albums in 12 months afterwards.
Taylor sold 48 million albums in 2023. So MJ really wont win against TS with these hypothetical scenarios. There is no bigger boosts than the postmortem sales hike.
Huh

thegreatdivineAnd that's really what matters here. 1989 was a more impactful album than this. The numbers are there but despite all the promo she's been doing, as well as the numbers the album is putting up, it's non-existent in the real world.
I know that there are other external factors contributing to that but damn. Imagine doing 4M units in a week and it only being notable online lmao.
how can u compare the impact of a 11 year old album to a 1 week old album?
1989 wasn't all that well received in its first few months. yes Blank Space and SIO were smashing, but so are Ophelia and Opalite

TheFaderRuss means well but he don’t realize this doesn’t apply to in-person physical purchases and there would be absolutely no feasible way to track it if it was
Also I’m 100% positive Taylor fans are aware of this rule and have found ways to work around it

Comparing a posthumous bump to a prime year is stupid
also i gurantee MJ had more unique purchases

relapsed bisexualwhen u look in the real world the alleged moment taylor is having simply does not exist
if this isnt enough proof sales are meaningless idk what is
idk if it's internet or what but I feel like taylor is confined to her fanbase like nobody outside of her bubble is checking her stuff im not mad at her sales it's just fascinating

500K streaming
4M total units sold
30+ variants
I wonder what’s causing that overall total to be so much higher than the streaming total

Interesting that “impact” started to matter when it’s a Taylor Swift album
By the standards of this thread the album should be an instant classic

Ghetto Lenny4M is wild to see in the title.
Feel like that would be the equivalent of a movie having a billion dollar opening weekend.

You just created a hyper specific opinion and attributed it to a whole sales thread that you’re also a part of. You didn’t cook here
Oct 9, 2025·1 replySo like did every Taylor fan buy all 15 different versions or something?
The numbers are so crazy that I genuinely don’t believe it

If he went full Bundle Scott he would get something going

He has multiple classic records known on a mainstream level and this was his first entry on the chart.
Just more proof that this s*** does not matter like that.
