Oops, I misread the post, I thought he included Madonna in there, my bad, but my point still stands.
He also said we don't know how she will sell in the future and she needs a hit to keep her catalogue alive. You just nitpick points.
We can have this discussion about surpassing Madonna in 20 years.
When will Taylor's figure get updated? I bet she has sold tons since the last update.
don't think it'll take too long, MJD is currently busy with adding new artists to the All Time List once he decides to do a round of updates I'm pretty sure Taylor will be the first or second to get one
but if you're interested these are my personal estimations of her up to date Pure Sales of her latest releases
Lover 2,000,000
folklore 2,050,000
evermore 1,140,000
Fearless (Taylor's Version) 650,000
Red (Taylor's Version) 1,230,000
the first 4 albums don't include chinese DLs while Red (TV) does since MJD said the Chinese DLs will be counted as 1:1 after the rule change
Red tvs pure sales are not counted towards the original, just streams are.
They are not counted as pure sales for the original 2012 album, but they will be included in the "other LPs" section and thus will count for its overall units (like it was the case with Fearless Taylor's Version), so what user @katy-hudson said is correct.
Red TVs pure sales will push Red closer to 18M units.
they will be coubted towards Red in the "Other LPs" section just like Fearless tv is counted for Fearless in the last update.
why did Fearless and Red lose millions of units?? something have to do with Taylor's Versions glitching ??
There is no way she has brought over 300k pure sales outside of the US. Its just impossible. Her albums sell very little outside of the US. They probably sold closer to 100k outside of the US and minus China.
Every artists albums are mainly carried by singles, that's the point, they pick which songs to be singles. His album tracks are the exact same as well as every other artists albums including taylors so no point in saying his tracks are 'doing so badly' when they're doing the same as anyone else's album tracks. Changes as an album didn't do too well anyway and his others were released way before the streaming era, however Justice tracks are doing good.
i just wanted to ask if lover's success is considered way out of mold in contemporary industry with not a single lead which had further grown and become a hit but if anything ME! or yntcd flopped so so hard ... like album is pushing 8 million EAS by this year and without its leads carrying it .. which is not good yes but i am just surprised ... especially with folklore pushing 6 million ...i had almost thought that lover or folklore won't even cross 5 million in long long time but i was wrong lol
