Britney's impact is overrated to high heavens by ATRL members.

Barely anyone in the GP remembers anything but her meltdown and first two albums anymore

Gurls c'mon don't touch Britney, the WW impact of the OOPS album alone >> ANY impact made by a Taylor song/album. You know that, and if you don't, you just were born post 1995.

Literally 12x less than 1989

Now girl

3 albums opening with 1 million+ each debut week is a lot more impressive than one 1.3 million sales week.

Let's hope we can clock ha!

Damn who knew so many of the Swift fans would get so ugly about this. It's hard to not scalp a bit and not be civil any longer.

Yet she still has the record so...

Trust me Taylor will reach the age when she decided to go back to country and sell 55k in a week

In the wise words of Taylor Swift, "haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate!"

The Britney haters in this thread are so transparent. You guys were so thirsty for Taylor to break Britney's record, yet now you are trying to pass the record off as being unimportant. MAKE UP YOUR MINDS. Regardless, Britney has a multitude of other records that no one will probably ever come close to.

Anyway, congratulations to Taylor for these incredible numbers and breaking her own record.

Were u born in 1998?
Boy you were a fetus when Britney was the most famous person on Earth. BYE.
Anyways, what in the world makes u think Taylor will have something to be remembered in 10 more years? Maybe the Kanye fiasco, not more than that.
Britnh has a couple of memorable performance u heard about the Snake? the Kiss?

where's the lie?

Stop. Almost all the Taylor and Britney stans have been keeping it cute and friendly since sales predictions came out, we do NOT want things to get ugly.

good job anyway, i wonder if 1989 will pass 4m like the rest of her albums have

I get you like Taylor but sis

CONGRATS to my favorite producer Max Martin for working on both of these amazing albums!
