Taylor most streamed artist in Germany uk. Martin said people don't know her music in uk some time back. Two biggest European markets but Jake told me she is local. She is most streamed western artist in Latin America without a single latin song..most streamed artist in philippines too. But she is apparently local acc to Jake martin n others.
Wait I got it billboard counts from oct to oct. Not jan to dec. That's why
I believe you. 270 million came from own guesswork, which has been presented. I appreciate your objectivity, Sabrina Queen. Let's also say about the sale of the book. The book sold 814,000 copies in two days and exclusively in the Target chain. Book reviewed, lots of mistakes, quickly put together for Christmas, 256 pages and $39.90. 2 million copies is more than Springsteen, Dylan and Keith Richards have sold their books, biographies to date. 20.09 million albums from UK.Mix from what I think is a reliable source. Yes, the figures are such that they should not be inflated.
Yes that billboard figure is accurate. I was doing jan to dec. That's why we had difference. Like last year taylor sold 17 million in usa from dec to Jan but from oct 2022 to oct 2023. It was 13 million plus. So I made mistake in calculations because I was doing calendar yr instead of oct to oct billboard rule
I believe Taylor Swift albums sales are not being accurately counted for her re-recorded albums because her and Republic are not sharing this information for some unknown reason. Maybe it is the same reason she has not certified most of her album or song sales on RIAA since 2023 except for the recent TTPD update. I believe Taylor Swift true albums sales is north of 300 million, but we will never know because Ms. Swift and Republic refuse to share information with general public.
Taylor Swift's sales in the USA this year were one of the biggest records that ever happened in the music world. 20.09 million units. When Michael Jackson died in 06/2009, he sold that year 8 million albums and 11 million tracks. The following year, 2010, Jackson sold 2.1 million albums. At the time, Michael Jackson's sales figures were unique and it was still a time when recordings sold quite well. Now sales have been in a slump for a long time. In addition, Swift sells expensive vinyl boxes with a high margin. Streams generate little for the artist. Country music still sells well in the US, Morgan Wallen, etc. Taylor Swift has revitalized the economy of cities wherever she goes to perform. Almost a hundred trucks have traveled around the planet, hundreds of workers, to whom Swift has paid a good salary. On the Eras tour, only 3 concerts had to be canceled due to the terrorist threat./// Right now Swift's net worth is $1,6 billion and all money comes from her art.
Today, e.g. The New York Times reported Eras-tour 149/149 revenue of 2.077 billion dollars. Is 2x bigger than the just ended Coldplay tour ($1.1 BILLION). In total, Swift's concert revenue $3.2 billion. All of Swift's numbers are all-time highs. Rolling Stones better researches the tour history of the band, it may be that the Rolling Stones are the all-time number one in tours. The Rolling Stones, Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Bruce Springsteen, Pink and Beyonce are making money these days. Swift and Springsteen are big-hearted and donate big bucks, make good things go around. Swift paid the tour staff about 160 million extra. The next stage for Swift could be, say, 100 billion Spotify streams.
17th week at #1 with 228K.. 553K pure sales in the last 2 weeks in the US alone
2006-2019 Taylor had in her last update before the new decade started 88M CSPC. Now in the last 5 years she reached 230M. A gain of 142M. Also her tour revenue 2006-2019 was $1B. Now eras tour alone $2B. Next five years she will remain big. Taylor really went from Superstar success to legend level of success.
Now that TTPD Anthology physicals have been pushed, I doubt TTPD would have another pure push. She's jumped 50m since the last update, dropped 3 albums and has benefited from the reach of the largest tour of all time. Given the timing is an update to her figures on the schedule?
Chartmasters haven't yet grasped Taylor's greatness. She's already beaten Michael Jackson and Madonna's numbers. Her firepower is so great that there was an earthquake in Europe, literally. 26.6 billion streams on Spotify this year, 97 billion total streams, the most streamed artist in the world. Swift has kept physical sales alive, 7-8% of vinyl sold is Swift. Sells more physically than any other artist, over 10 times more than the older artists mentioned above.
