kasich2028When fatdele sold 3.4M first week, sales in the music industry was on average moving 10-20x more physical albums than any week in the mid 2020s.
So imagine someone beating you when they had 1/10th your industry’s capacity
That’s how hard Fatdele got blown the f*** out.

Botneyexactly. she's just using so many variants to counter balance the decline of the music industry
The truly most impressive feat about TS, is not just that she beat Adele’s record, it is that through the capability of herself and her fandom, is able to revive the long-dead pure sales portion of the music industry & making herself competitive against the numbers set 10 years ago when the industry was much healthier.
That’s like learning to open up a time portal through your own, if you think about it.
That’s why dumbos trying to throw shades at “muh variants” doesn’twork at all, it’s actually impressive on its own that she made this possible using variants at all.

Everything you said is wrong. Adele sold millions of CDs that people listen to music on.
Taylor has leveraged idol worship and making stupid people feel like she’s a victim to sell collectible trinkets to her fans.
This simply cannot be compared to past gen artists and cannot and should not be celebrated. This is very dystopian

Taylor Swift did not revive pure sales, she just became a deity-like figure to her following by making everything a collectible and an easter egg and turning physical albums into things to collect rather than caring about actually owning the music.
“Long-dead pure sales portion” meanwhile Adele did 3M ten years ago off of mostly pure sales
Views sold a million off of mostly pure sales
Taylor herself was selling a million numerous times off of mostly pure sales

What Adele sold were 1.5 million copies of $9.99 iTunes copies, actually.
It is unfortunate that iTunes is now dead, as well as the habit of picking up $12.99 CDs at your local store.
That’s why TS selling 1.2 million copies of $40 vinyl alone is worth more than Adele’s 3.4M, no cap.

Taylor swifts, CDs and Vinyls are nothing more than merch/collectable trinkets.

Of course? Because music is now free on streaming platforms. Which is why swift moving 3.5m+ is more impressive in 2025 isn’t it? Imagine gettin people to buy your s*** when it’s free.

Once again I ask:
“Tendency”
“In general”
“On average”
“More likely”
Do you know what any of these phrases mean
Brother you can’t just try to duck an argument by stating “I said generally so I’m not disputing what you said”
Well if you’re not disputing what I said then you’re admitting I’m right this whole time ain’t you?

Yeah, without any variants or deluxe versions whatsoever
I guarantee you if Taylor Swift dropped an album that was not on streaming and had no variant/deluxe editions, she comes nowhere close to 3.4M first week

I’m not ducking any argument. The argument the entire time was that ON AVERAGE, a higher number of tracks leads to a higher number of streams first week. You can literally look it up yourself and do the math. The stats are right there.
Showgirl having a high stream total with 12 tracks does not negate that fact

I don’t think this type of idolatry is something to be celebrated. Honestly it’s very creepy.
And it’s especially bad when you incentivize collection and have people scrambling around to buy multiple albums.
It’s not as genuine as simply releasing an album and people go and buy it and play it

Which part of the market shrinking to 1/20th of what it was compared to 2015 do you not understand?
Surely it’s not that hard to comprehend right? Imagine you used to sell 20 apples a day 10 years ago, now you sell 2 per day. You’re at a little bit of a disadvantage right now aren’t you not?

we get it you don't like Taylor and her fans.
I think selling 4m in a climate where 100k seems like a rarity is more impressive than selling 3.3m in 2015 when many other artists were still able to cross the 500k line. No matter what methods she uses.

craziest part about it is that dude is actually right here taylor is just insufferable as a human being and no one likes her at all and her music is ass but u are right about leveling the playing field tbh
theres simply no way on earth u can do those numbers these days without bundles and bs like this
selling this much is mostly about who has the most insane fanbase these days, u cant just sell a million normally anymore
