I don't hold store in anything that requires the word consecutive, and I don't think specifying debuts is particularly special.

And since many ATRLers' fave argument is "not if it were your fave, lol ha ha cackle kii"...
Like, Shake it Off I think has something like consecutive T10 weeks after debuting at #1 or something like that, but that's not notable to me. Or, 1989 technically spent 52+ consecutive weeks in the T10, but whether or not it's consecutive doesn't really matter.
She also has #1 debut songs, but that's also not real notable to me because of the bunch of songs that either A) were disqualified from entering the chart from not being on sale back before airplay cuts could make the chart so then 'debuted' at #1 when they went on sale, or B) charted real low from early airplay and then jumped to #1; is it really that much better to go 101-1 than 100-1 or whatever?

So around 30-45m US streams. That's not bad at all.

500k pure sales in just 4 days is amazing, especially in the current sales climate.

ANTI still top 5

Well, HUN. It's a record that matters. When she broke the tie with Britney, Billboard wrote an article just like they will write one about this NEW ONE.

so Lemonade outsold Anti already in pure sales, the real question is what will the final SPS be when its all said and done, Anti is having great longevity. If Lemonade has no lasting hits, it might end up with a lower SPS than ANTI

I thought she would do more, still good tho.

Billboard will write about anything.
People on this site constantly drag them for everything they pull out of a hat to get clicks.

And yes, they did write articles at least about Taylor's #1 debuts and 1989 with a consecutive T10 year:

Their writing about something doesn't automatically make me think it's important.

I know this is off topic but what is ANTI's total SPS numbers? I know she's at 390k (?) pure sales right now I believe.

Not putting Lemonade on Spotify will hurt her but oh well if it goes platinum then I'll be satisfied I think.

I don't know why you guys are still comparing them...

Beyoncé's first week sales have always been way higher than Rihanna's, and she sells more albums than her in the US. It's not gonna change anytime soon.
On top of that no other pop girl has given away 1M+ copies of their album for free before the iTunes release.

This is amazing for Tidal only

It'll be at ~910k next week.

they have been compared too much, had to add this point.

as for the rest, i didnt even say anything else

SO CUTE!

So proud of her collecting her 6th consecutive #1 album!

Girl what?

? No Spotify/AM. BIG numbers.


Hmm I don't see it since Bey will have bigger with her 2nd week.
Not releasing the album on Spotify/AM will hurt Bey's longevity tho.
Imo they both did great, so happy and proud.

Just ignore.

Ok @ ANTi still being Top 5 . I thought for sure it'll drop out of the Top 10. Come through Queen

Black female legends slaying the Top 5 along with an Icon. Best Top 5 on the BB200 in a while

I'm going to need Billboard to admit they ****ed up and create a separate chart for Streams. This TEA and SEA crap based on streams of one or two popular singles is idiotic as hell.

What even is that person talking about?
