What are your bets for first week sales?

The album is so bad it’s unreal. Sounds like she slapped midnights and evermore together and called it a day. Zero musical evolution in any facet

next album will be different. I knew from the beginning this will be Midnights 2.0 aka folklore 3.0

There is something kind of funny about her knee-jerk reaction to think the 6-year-long relationship she just had not working out was because her former boyfriend was too boring and that she needed someone EXCITING and POETIC like MATT HEALY. Only for her chance to finally pursue the man of her adolescent dreams to align with him making headlines by boasting about his knowledge of fetish race play brutality p***. Sometimes life humbles us!

This is why some of the lyrical "rage" is kind of... ddd. Like "she's giving it to the Swifties" would be fun if not for her complaining about the one effective thing fans got done at large in forcing her hand to dump him.

Something something Taylor use the profits from those 2M+ first week units to buy Rina out of her contract!!!!

Drake who?

she doing 3mil

it’s joever

but it was still s***

Literally, who’s listening to this lol

I don’t believe these numbers all label manipulation

my local record shop had people waiting outside until midnight just to buy the album

how much of this is pre order manipulation jargon?

Defo including those stupid publications giving her 10/10 for a bloated album. Her PR team is insane

I agree but, to be fair, even Drake and Kanye are coasting and creatively bankrupt these days.

That's why artists like Kendrick and Tyler who take their time are so important. Simply dropping stuff for the sake of being prolific isn't all it's made out to be.

Using drake and ye as a benchmark for quality in 2024 is silly

That's why I posted the 2nd sentence brother.

any time i see drake or taylor numbers

I genuinely don’t get this… how. Maybe I just stick in the wrong circles. I know Taylor swift is extremely popular but I never realized she was this popular what the hell

Well than what are you pointing out other than saying “well this sucks but these other big artist suck too”

Honestly who cares?

She’s going down like Barbra Streisand. Big trophy cabinet and sales but no one plays her songs or can even name 2

Pretty sure you're reading too much into it.

I'm just saying that mainstream rap has its own issues with lacking quality control.

True. I put too much focus on your first sentence the second one is valid
