Ok have fun with that 🫥

Taylor’s gained a lot more popular now than even in 2022. I think she’ll get a crack at this in April.

August

Takes way too long tbh Shin Godzilla took forever

Bro I don't understand, like what's with the delay
S***'s ridiculous

Every one in this thread damn well knows Drake couldn't say he love Hitler and still do these numbers there only 1

Its still in theaters in Japan

Classic

W/o radio

dont think it will happen for a long time tbh

issue with taylor is she relies a lot on the pre-sales, where she racks up over a million sales in digital pre-downloads, these people are less likely to stream the album because of it and she relies a lot on bundles/vinyls too, if she made her album streaming ONLY for the first week then I think she could beat it, but she would have to do that within the next 3 years because her numbers wont last forever

and drake is no longer following his "success formula" of an album and seems to be releasing whatever he wants which is cool, so he wll most likely just coast around FATD numbers at 500mill for his next studio album release, which aint a diss cus 500mill is still massive, a number no rapper has touched other than him, but still a LONG way off of 750mill

to put it into perspective, and this aint a diss at trav, but UTOPIA was definitely a massive success for him and so was Astroworld, absolutely massive albums that pushed him into the debates of being top 3 commercially easily, yet Astroworld "only" did 350mill and Utopia "only" did 330mill

i think it will get harder and harder for any artist to ever capture the masses again to hit 750mil, the ADHD tiktok brain wont allow it, but like i said taylor can do it if she made her album streaming only

For reference, heres the top 10 biggest US streaming weeks updated as of Feb 2024, courtesy of @thegreatdivine :

1. Scorpion - 745 million
2. Certified Lover Boy - 743 million
3. Midnights - 549 million
4. For All the Dogs - 514 million
5. Her Loss - 513 million
6. One Thing at a Time - 498 million
7. Tha Carter V - 433 million
8. Beerbongs & Bentleys - 431 million
9. Legends Never Die - 422 million
10. SOS - 404 million

side note, C5 is legendary for being this high on the list

Utopia really only managed that because of the $5 vinyls Travis had on sale to boost his numbers for the first 4 weeks. Once the vinyls ran out, the album's numbers dipped hard to reflect how it was actually being consumed.

It dropped out of the top 10 after 11 weeks and hasn't re-entered since.

If taylors next album has the beyonce collab it will

real music coming back

Taylor’s easily blowing past 600m w/ tortured poets. 750m is far-fetched but if there’s anyone besides Drake who could match that, it’s her.

this is likely her last chance tho cause once the tour is over her numbers will stabilize again

Yep. Taylor's going to have the biggest album of this year.

Beyonce might snap AOTY this time around though.

if ye executes bundles properly it’s over for everyone

utopia is selling fairly well imo.

IFPI’s 2023 top albums

why even post this ed chart from that ed organization?

they count those fraudulent sales from d***less kpoop femboy bands way more than anything from the rest of the world

The IFPI Global Album Award is calculated according to an album’s worldwide sales across streaming, download and physical music formats during the calendar year.

this decade:

2020 - BTS
2021 - Adele
2022 - Bad Bunny
2023 - Seventeen

no one outside of south korea know of those 2 albums or bands. this is just a dumbass chart made by a dumbass org that didnt know those d***less korean femboy bands buy their own albums.
