I'll be interesting to see how Taylor performs with a more Lover-style properly-promoted era for TS10
With Lover it will happen sooner rather than later given its stable streams so she basically has 7 10m albums locked in. And with folklore it's probably also just a matter of time. I dont see her beating madonna though.
Midnight will be released on October 21, Taylor will widen the gap between her and BTS/Coldplay and definitely come for Whitney and Babra even faster. Everytime she announces her new music, her old disco gets huge boost on Spotify.
Streaming definitely changes things as you have to wait years and years to see how an album really does versus sales in the first few months. She is almost as good at promoting as she is at singing and songwriting though. I think anything she releases will have a chance to get to 10 million.
I wonder if you'll do the same prediction of sales for Taylor's upcoming album as you did for Adele's before?
With 1 day of pre orders in her web site, Midnight have sold more than 100k in physicall just in US... the hype is insane.
"Cause Streisand’s streaming numbers are dreadful, she only has one song over 100 mln plays on Spotify and it pass the symbolic threshold only a few weeks ago"
You just talking nonsense!
First, Spotify is only a part of streaming market, much "small and local" than YouTube, even
AM is coming near it in biggest English country, and there's also many stream apps and non-english countries (the majority of the population) Barbra has more stream number than her peers. She had sold more than any others divas outside US expect next generation's Big Four and achieve big successes in even Aisa,being still about 1 billion in Spotify and YouTube, Elvis's number is less than one-third of Queen, the King still has "decent" streams.
Second, according to Billboard Hot 100 Greatest Female Artist Chart
1.The greatest one among 60s-70s divas is Olivia Newton-John
Her biggest hit and 80s billboard top song of decade PHYSICAL is less than 60 million, and since then every top song of decade's streams ranked "low" in "decade stream chart" until streaming era, is it tragic? Obviously no, even being compared to her monster Grease soundtrack songs.
2. Dionne Warwick once the diva had most charted songs (second only to Aretha who is one of most streamed legacy female artist)
Her streams (0.6 billion) much less than Barbra.
3.Cher and Tina not doubt have more streams
But mainly come from theirs hits during next generatio Big 4 era (the former had started her golded time one years before Mariah debuted and reached peak when Celine "retired", the latter same time as Whitney debuted), they both in another case.
4.Jenet Jackson was top 2 artist of Billboard 90s decade chart, had most Billboard no.1 singles other than Madonna, Mariah and Whitney, her streams number could't even ranked inside top 10 among her female contemporaries, dose that mean we should ignore her numbers?
5.EVEN most Big 4’s many biggest hits or no.1 are "very lower" comparing to their contemporaries hits such as 80s' Girls Just Want to Have Fun and I Wanna Dance with Somebody, 90s' All I want for Christmas is you, how can theirs streams be"tragic"?
Third, Woman in Love had passed the symbolic threshold before March 2020, " a few"thirty mouths ago, streaming more than another two newer 80s
top single of year That's What Friends Are For and the timeless classic We are The World , Guilty is also streams near 90 million.
And symbolic threshold for what?Hit or monster smash hit, likely your post refer to above "dreadful", so symbolic threshold for a download or streaming era hit must be over half billion or 1 billion? SO there's so little Taylor's singles cound each the "no dreadful" symbolic threshold. Isn't it weird?
In conclusion, LOWER in a part of something is not the same as LOW. Even being most successful female single of all time I Will always love you and My heart will go on's streams is lower than many contemporaries or even older hits in Spotify ( they are billion stream as top female legacy songs in YouTube), Madonna who is best-selling female artist ever has less Spotify streams than Whitney and Mariah before titok trends, theirs till very good in Spotify.
"Celine Dion is probably the one who will struggle more in the next years. “My Heart Will Go On” will probably remain her only song that the general public care in the future and still, it underperforms Mariah’s and Whitney’s signature hits."
Another fake point!
First, Celine’s Falling into you has not streams than Let’s Talk About Love in Spotify, (My Heart Will Go On is not belong to the time former album, but latter) and also both inside top 10 and top 15 female album of 90s(including next generation divas such as Britney, Jlo, Shakria’s albums)
Second, apart from MHWGO,Celine has many hits (such as The Power Of Love, It's All Coming Back To Me Now, Because You Loved Me) also inside top female singles of 90s, four songs inside Top20, and Most Entries for Most streamed 90's female songs on Spotify. So the general public only remember less than twenty 90 s songs by female? I GUESS it's no "the general public" but You underrated original queen of pop's power and longevity. No need to mention Celine achieved Diomand and year-end Top Album and Song in her forth decade.
Third, Spotify only a part of stream world and a small part for Celine who is the two top global divas ever, My heart will go on over 1.5 billion views in YouTube without official. EVEN IN US ,according to trusted industry source Billboard, mhwgo had almost 600 million stream in US when Spotify number under 300 million worldwide in 2020( https://jezebel.com/which-no-1-singles-from-the-80s-and-90s-stand-the-test-1844294232?rev=1595250877341) Early-to-mid-’80s songs fill the top 10, which includes only one from the ’90s (“My Heart Will Go On,” by Celine Dion), Whitney’s Dance with Somebody has even twice times stream as I Always love you, but the latter has bigger advantage in YouTube and also more greatest and famous, successful as we know, isn’t it?
Taylor is obviously completing a 10 Million CSPC year in 2022 (She will reach it from Spotify only). Do you see an end in Taylor doing 10 Million CSPC years?
Not doubting you but where are you getting that number from? Are they putting that info out there?
People pull the numbers by tracking order numbers, it's not an exact science
chances of her pulling 1-mil first week inside the US? she might legit be the last singer to achieve this.
Could you please provide separate numbers for Taylor's Version? You surely know them.
It's troublesome considering some countries like Germany iirc combine both versions
Ever since this article was updated, she gained 2m+ more sales! Her rapid growth is not a joke
