Sunflower is gonna evade the 52 week rule for sure, the song is #14 on the Hot 100 and still in the Top 10 on Spotify. It refuses to die. Hallelujah! That would be great. |

Young Thug is absolutely killing it on Apple Music right now. If it holds for a couple months days, I could see him doing anywhere from 100-120K units first week. Maybe even more. |

#IStandWithGabe Taylor isn't flopping and Gary post was rather unnecessary as most songs that chart due to albums bombs last two weeks at most No one said Taylor was flopping. Gabe also didn't need to take Gary's post as him "hating." That's a silly deflection. Saying something about an artist that's based in fact isn't being a hater. The fact is that Taylor will suffer a massive drop in album sales in her second week. |

Probably the ones whose album generates interest on its own merits rather than Hoodie promotions.
My prior post is what it is, for those offended by it, I suggest you are taking it way too seriously.

We've lost so many good users because of toxic people like gabe. That's great to have people like Rimetm, Tanooki and Moonlight using numbers to prove she's wrong.

Reputation debuted at #1 with 1.238 million album-equivalent units sold, in its second week that number dropped to 256,000 equivalent album units. The numbers dropped to 147,000 more album-equivalent units in it's third week.
Reputation was following 1989, her biggest album and era overall. While Lover is following Reputation, which had a lot of under performing singles and definitely was not a hit in the same way 1989 was, while her two singles so far from Lover (ME! and You Need To Calm Down) failed to impress. The record is gonna have a great first week, it's definitely not breaking 1 million, however 700-600k sounds pretty good. Although the second week drop is gonna be bad, I'm guessing it'll sell 170k in it's second week or around there. Especially is she's pulling merch tactics in the first week.
I don't why people are denying this, it's gonna happen. It's first week sales have already been predicted to be way lower than her last four records, so why wouldn't the second week drop be rough? It's inevitable.

I hope Circles will not be release next week tho. why not? Because of TS. People will surely talk Lover than just a random Post single. And points in 2weeks will be much lower and chances of Circles debuting no.1 will be much higher. |

When I listen to "Lover", I don't know at this point, if the repeat value/plays are going to last with the GP. The new tracks this week from Taylor, Miley and Normani are all okay and a bit different from each of their last tracks. That's a plus but not sure if that's what people want. Hey, the charts are so volatile with Old Town Road almost near its end.. I really cant say where music is headed. |

I’m impressed that Taylor Swift has a higher debut than Young Thug on Spotify. Spotify is Pop leaning that's why. As Choco pointed out, it really isn't. It still leans towards urban, just not as much as Apple Music does. It's still rare for a pop act to perform as well as Taylor does on streaming. Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, and Ed Sheeran are really the only other pop musicians that can pull these numbers or better. On the other hand, a lot of the biggest hits on Spotify in the US are hip-hop and rap. Besides, "Lover" outperformed "The Archer" by ~400k streams and a full position. If "Lover" had performed similarly to "The Archer," it would have only been ~350k above "Bad Bad Bad." Also, looking at Spotify's top 10 right now, only two of them would be classified as pop: "Lover" and "Señorita." "boyfriend" is r&b pop, so you may choose to include it or not, but even with it, that's only 30% of the top 10 that's pop and if you extend it to the top 20, you only add 3 more pop songs, one of which includes a popular r&b musician. Young Thug just isn't a strong force on Spotify like he is on Apple Music. |

It's inevitable. The part I don't like is when you use logic, common sense and actual data to support your argument and people say you're "hating." I get confused anytime I see that. What could anyone's "hate" have to do with how an album will perform? Also, just to add to what you've already said. Taylor doesn't have a streaming fanbase that is consistent with it's support. That's why reputation moved over a million units in it's first week, but has moved less album units than beerbongs & bentleys/Scorpion, albums that came out 5 months and 7 months after it dropped and debuted with way less album units than it did. |

Do we really need to discuss whether the last album to actually move 2 million physical copies is a success or can we move along...?  |

Anyone has the right to include bundles not only to maximize the numbers but also and probably more importantly give incentive to fans to purchase concert tickets, which touring is where most of the money comes from. I don't know yet the details of Lover's opening strategy but during reputation she had already used some tactics anyway so.
