Yeah. I worked on this for like 1 hour and a half. But i worked for 2 hours and a half on the part i accidentaly deleted, which was 2006 to 2009. I worked a LOT on that, im so pressed. The amount of one-week wonders, the christmas boosts making the entire Top 15 reach 300K, a lot of big acts releasing. All gone to waste

That was really impressive. And The Gift was also very impressive. It looks lackluster compared to the other but was still very successful out of the gate as well

The Gift has 5 consecutive weeks selling 1m+ if I'm not mistaken 
Taylor probably has 20+ weeks selling 300k at this rate
