According to Atrl 25 is leaving the Top 10 this week meaning that 1989 spent more time at the #1 spot of the BB200. Both albums are the most successful albums released this decade But according to you which era do you think was bigger?

1989 has had a more extensive era so far

1989 was the bigger era
25 was the bigger album

The AOTY

25

Anyone who says 1989 is really either truly deluded or very bitter. That's all I'm going to say.

1989

So far it's clearly 1989, tho

Why?

- more longevity
- more hit singles
- bigger tour

it's actually quite simple.

And more #1 singles

25 sold twice as many albums in much less time

Hello was bigger than any 1989 single (sales & streaming & radio)


obviously 25

Singles: 1989
Album sales: 25
Touring: 1989

1989

25.

1989 has had bigger singles success but that's about it and ultimately that pales in comparison to Adele's album numbers.

1989 obviously. It was massive in every aspect. This is about more than first week sales (which 1989 also did well in)

The one which sold more than 10m albums

21 and 25 are the most successful albums of the decade not 1989

so to answer your question, 25

25 is one of the shortest eras ive seen in recent history from a major pop girl. it may have peaked INSANELY high, but it lasted as long as ARTPOP really..

its not even a competition.

1989 sold 73000 WW in its 21st week
25 sold 70000 WW in its 21st week

you guys are right. taylor had more longevity
