    Imagine having the apparent biggest first week for an album of all time and you not even in the top 3 most streamed lol. This will free fall my goodness. Hope she has another 50 variants ready. She’s probably about to announce the wedding invite variant this week. 😭

    Crazy that it’s her label that are doing the glazing too. You don’t see republic/universal doing that for Drake or Morgan or their other artistsZ Truly undisputed goat stuff.

    The 4 million different people that Taylor thanked on instagram laughing their asses off rn.

    Those two local acts aren't doing it like her

    Your dumbass doesn’t even know what you’re posting apparently. That Adele tweet you’ve shared was using a fake, made up thing they dubbed UWC which literally isn’t a real organization. Keep crying though.

    A two second Google search would show you how stupid you sound.

    Taylor(and Drake)doing music history a huge favor. All these fraudulent #1 records going to break all kind of BB records. And yet the impact is zero. You look at the last 5 #1 records from either and it’s s*** you’ve already forgotten about.

    If billboard isn’t going to separate the streaming era from the previous physical era—then the streaming era will just be remembered as the fast food era of nothingness in music. People finally waking up

    He’s only not catching her in record sales. He got her in damn near everything else or is tied with her. He’s 10 billion steams ahead of her like brah if we take away the bundles she’s only selling 500k first week if drake positioned himself right he could literally do it. It would also have to include actually performing at shows lol

    Nah Drake could never catch Taylor in that category and he shouldn't try it because its lame. I know Drake stans have a bad rep online but we know you guys are not that deranged to buy 28 versions of Iceman or whatever is coming next, The only fanbase in rap that would do this is Carti or Travis

    I dont think Travis or Carti can do anywhere near that.

    Travis could have maybe cleared 1 million imo if he did what Taylor did and had everything ready but 4 million you need a fanbase that has money.

    Normal, Deluxe, alternate art or special edition .

    3-4 seems to be reasonable.

    I wasn't talking about selling 4 mill. Neither have a fanbase big enough for that. Its about a fanbase that would buy a lot of variants. For example if Carti released different variants with leaks from WLRv2 etc. for his next album, his fanbase would absolutely eat all these variants up.

    Its about how you as an artist shape your fanbase. Drake's fanbase is very casual. They don't buy vinyls and other merch. Carti and Travis have cultivated a very dedicated fanbase that really wants to get everything they release. Thats the difference.
