I'm not really sure I understand how this can feasibly outsell Loud and Talk That Talk's debuts by that big a margin, especially because this album is commercially inferior to those two.

Maybe the more urban, more intimate approach works better than the dance-pop approach?

I think that Black Friday is gonna to change the situation.Taylor has already passed the standart version of 'Unapologetic' on iTunes. But we'll see.

Stans/Fans & Haters.... PRUDENCE!
Be pacient and let's wait at least for BF

Congrats!

Those are AMAZING sales for her!

These sales are seriously fantastic. Does she have much promo during the week?

More like you're hoping for that to happen.

If at first you don't succeed try, try (try, try, try & try) again.

I can't... Queen!

That's definitely it. Her showing more vulnerability and nailing such an image on SNL have proven successful.

Dance songs don't sell albums.

Artists should know that by now

"Diamonds" just has more wide appeal than "We Found Love."

Not Her Worst Album being her first #1

BUT WAIT!!!!..............Where is Nicki

Coldplay Wait, Kelly already released her EP?

I can't at Rihanna's worst album being #1.. Should have been LOUD, but congrats.

Really? We found love seemed more universal and better received

It went beyond the clubs IMO. Only girl in the world was more like a club only song. This definitely had more appeal

Bingo.

We Found Love is basically repetitive LMFAO leftover. It's anthemic and catchy but not something that will make people massively buy album.

And Diamonds is better than WFL, just like Unapologetic is better than Talk That Talk.
