Wikipedia says Born to Die sold 8.5 million, is that true? Omg
By Kworb's totals, Born To Die fell off UWC at 2,497,000 and Paradise at 1,463,000, which is at least a consistent way of looking at the sales of different albums.
Ed Sheeran is not to be underestimated. The rapidity with which he rose from being nurtured by Taylor to matching her sales...He went from theaters to stadiums on the same tour in the U.S. Despite the fact that he's on break, he has the most-played song of the year (Love Yourself). Even 25 barely outsold X in the UK.
