This numbers are just insane. Her personal best number for a re-recording album for pure sales and overall units. Wow I really hope they push Rep (TV) just as hard because I can easily see that being another 1 million + album.

OMG she is out of this world. It will take long for someone as successful to emerge in the music industry. While I was not a fan of this rerecording, i appreciate the effort and care she has shown for her catalog and I guess that a lot of people did that too. In one hand, I feel a little bit envious and I would love my fave to have some of this success but on the other hand she deserves it. She has shown multiple times that music is her priority, is in contact with fans, promotes interactively her stuff... I'm just happy for her and all her fans.

With this making so much money, we better get an official video for Cruel Summer and Is It Over Now? If it sold 2 million worldwide, she could have easily made 30 million + in a single week.

www.billboard.com/pro/adele-25-sales-shipping-projections-nsync/Adele’s ’25’ Will Ship 3.6 Million Units in U.S., Could Top *NSYNC’s Historic Sales Week. The album would mark the largest amount of CDs in an initial shipment on a new release in this decade, and possibly this millennium. I really hope Taylor’s team ships the same amount of albums for TS11. During Midnights debut, I couldn’t find it in stores anywhere and ended up having to go to 4 Targets before I locked one down. And that was on release DAY. If she makes it as readily available as 25 was, and sells 1 million on pre-orders alone, I can see it hitting north of 2 million. Especially if the single comes out before release day.

She just needs to release the extended version now (especially before Thanksgiving weekend) with the cut songs and a few more acoustic set songs. The Eras Tour: Extended Version would easily make another 50 million in the US from fans who haven’t rewatched it (myself included). I’d easily sit through a 3hour 30minute extended version!

And the film is the now 13th highest-grossing domestic film of the year. They might want to keep this in theatres because it looks like there are about three movies coming up that could surpass it.

1.65 million+ is just insane numbers especially for a re-record. Didn't think she'd beat Midnights but she proved my expectations wrong, I wonder how high she could go with TS11 if she keeps this momentum up.

I had spin class tonight and the instructor did all 1989 TV tracks, and I'm lowkey more into it now. I still think the OG is superior but the TV isn't as bad as I had thought.

Has anyone who ordered (the vinyl from her shop) received this yet ? Mine has had no movement despite being shipped last Tuesday. Nope. Waiting on both the Sunrise Blvd vinyl and regular CD from them. Still waiting… I sent them an email today asking for an update on my order and why it actually hasn’t shipped yet. “Sam” from uMusic Customer Service replied promptly and kindly asked that I “allow one more week for tracking to update, as it is likely my order is still on the way. If it does not update by then, to contact them and they will investigate the matter further.” Oddly enough, I received confirmation that the Kim Petras TOTL vinyl I ordered shipped the same day as my 1989 order from the same Ferndale, Michigan UMG depot and TOTL arrived this past Saturday, with tracking being updated the entire way. This is just me speculating, but if shipping labels were created to count the albums as “sold” during release week but then they’re sitting on orders for almost two weeks after, that’s pretty shitty on their part and I might hesitate ordering directly from her store again.

I got my CD preorder yesterday. I likely won't be doing any preorders tbh. I could have gotten the same thing on release day at Target.

I never do pre-orders. I have a few times in the past and most cases, it'll be available at one of my local record stores the day of anyway. The exception would be if it's an item available only through an artist's store, or if there's any sign that quantities might be limited.

I'm pretty much over preordering from artists' stores. They often take forever to ship to me. I did get my 1989 TV pink vinyl about a week after the release date, but even then that seems too long of a wait for something I preordered. On that note, my order of the limited edition coloured vinyl of Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence that was meant to ship in September is nowhere to be found in November and her store keeps telling me it'll ship "by the end of the week" every time I contact them lol. Edit: Nope. Waiting on both the Sunrise Blvd vinyl and regular CD from them. This is just me speculating, but if shipping labels were created to count the albums as “sold” during release week but then they’re sitting on orders for almost two weeks after, that’s pretty shitty on their part and I might hesitate ordering directly from her store again. I believe this is a tactic many artists use, and I'm glad to know it's not just me. I often get "shipped" notifications even though it just seems like the store has created the label and then there's no further movement for several days (sometimes up to or longer than a week).

The thing I don't like about preordering is that you preorder online and wait for your copy to arrive and then others can just waltz into a store and buy it right off the shelf while you are still waiting for yours to come in the mail. It's not a really good incentive.

It's not a really good incentive. So true. And let's be real, this is Taylor. Nothing is ever truly exclusive lol. I've already seen local record stores have some of the coloured variants of 1989 TV. And of course, who could forget the Midnights "limited time only" debacle? She's notorious for this.

For Taylor, going to Target on release day/week seems to be the best bet, unless one is attached to a particular cover or something.

The shipping label was created the Thursday night of album release but it didn’t actually ship until almost two weeks later.

(Why ain’t y’all warn us?! 😂) I’m half tempted to reply back to “Sam” and ask that the order just be refunded since it technically hasn’t even left the building yet. I already have the tangerine 1989 TV vinyl variant and the yellow CD from Target at this point.

LOL mess. Folklore took about a year to come to me and I usually wait to hear an album until I have the physical version in my hand, so I bought the CD on release day from Target. I think Midnights came pretty much on time when I ordered from her store, but I generally only order from an artist store if it is the only way to get a physical version or if it's signed or something. I'm as much of a capitalist as Taylor is, so I have no problem supporting Amazon and Target.

Yeah if I would have known the color variant vinyls would be in CD format at Target, I would have never ordered through her store in the first place. Her dropping new variants every couple of days over the two to three weeks after 1989 TV was announced got me anxious so I didn’t want to miss my favorite cover of the four - the yellow. (I LOATHE the regular retail cover so much.)

I’ve got the pink vinyl from her store…and that’s it. Not the regular edition CD, nor the yellow and green vinyls I’d preordered. I typically don’t pre-order from her store anyway as it’s a tradition for me to go to Target to buy my copies, but with both Midnights and 1989 TV she’s duped me on the special covers. Even then, I immediately received all three of the special Midnights vinyls (and CDs!!!) at one time (it likely helped that she announced them all at once).
At least I have the three special CD variants anyway, as I went to Target this past Friday to pick them up (and will be heading back soon for my tangerine vinyl, so that I can finally hear “Sweeter Than Fiction”). Hopefully my yellow and green vinyls come posthaste, as those are the two I’m particularly excited about.
