Damn this is confusing so it looks like one will get Billboard and the other will get soundscan but the article from 2012 (dec 14) had adele as #1 and I thought that was because they waited until the last week of November.

This is going to be close.
1.689+ 300-325k would make 2.0M
the Nov 17-23 oh well nevermind looks like Taylor would get both under both billboard and soundscan if Black friday doesn't count.

Wow taylor getting it in 4 weeks instead of 5.
Even if she did 200k her 4th week it's pretty much a done deal then.

Just like I don't understand why albums can't come out on Sunday I don't understand the calendar year/billboard year trickiness. It's so confusing.

Woah Beyonce's extremely local

Back on topic, I think Taylor will snatch it. Probably 200K this coming week then on Black Friday another 200k, then 100k for the other succeeding weeks

Woah you can't read

Black Friday and the weeks after it ARENT factored into Billboard Year End.

Adcnbdgbkkk



Theyre a bit too TRANSPARENT.

You are right and thanks for breaking it down.
it appear as though Taylor has it as she will get around 1.9M for her 3rd week sales and her 4th week sales next week will put her over the mark.

I never expected her to sell 400k and 300k her 2nd and 3rd week. It's kind of a mess that Taylor can do this in 4 weeks when many are struggling to get half of it.

Yeah i think she'll have it too, with just a week left and only a 100k difference. Taylor will be #1 for both.

Taylor haha. Plus her catalog sell well
