When adjusted according to the market and times, am sure all of taylors albums would have gone diamond.
If you're gonna "adjust for inflation" you're gonna have to adjust for music and sound trends as well.
There's no telling how Taylor would have done with her sound in the past.
Practically speaking, it's impossible to compare across decades.
First week sales reflect the size of your fanbase, not GP's interest/impact. That's why kids artists like Tayloose and 1D get those huge opening week sales.
even more embarrassing that your kid artist fave only sells 286k then!

we can compare current albums and 1989 is about to outsell BEYONCE in less than 1 month
the BEYONCE release is one if the biggest gimmicks of all time. "Secret, MYSTERY release!" & an "individual video for every song!" The music didn't sell it.
What does that even mean..? Of course she's had impact.
I didn't say she has no impact. I'm saying a bunch of female artists have had more impact on culture/music than Taylor, despite not having sales as large as Taylor.
