Originally posted by Beyonnaise 1989 I have yet to hear one person say that they love or even like Views as an album. It's just selling because he's amassed a huge base that will buy whatever he releases, and it's being helped by One Dance but who knows if the other singles will come close to its success.

1989. Shake It Off was a streaming monster while it was up on Spotify and it still managed to sell over 4 million copies in the US alone. Blank Space got 1 billion views on YouTube and sold loads of copies as well. Not to mention Taylor's latest album is currently at 5,9 million copies, while Views.

Don't get me wrong, both are successful on their own merit, but Taylor will win if her album is compared to Drake's.

Their stats are VERY similar.
