Taylor vs Beyonce.... Which Feat Is More Impressive?
Bey- 80k in 3 hrs and projected sales of 200-300k in 3 days. Little to none promo.
Taylor- 262k in 24 hrs. Solid amount of promo.
Both are digital only sales.
I think both girls deserve a roaring applause for their accomplishments. I mean its clearly still possible to sell albums, when the quality of the product is there, which is the most positive thing.
Beyonce's by far, she's global. It's America along with 99 other countries she's topping.
Red hit #1 in 50 countries back in October 2012 before iTunes opened stores in 30 new markets that weren't there before. So the "global" excuse is invalid here.
Both are tremendous, but Bey's is bigger.
What artist who started outside the digital age is doing this?
Bey got those numbers off her name alone.
Taylor had her name, her two huge singles and her promo schedule.

Well. Its not easy to judge that. I mean there is a lot more countries with Itunes now, isn`t there?
Most of these countries she`d have to sell insignificant amount to top.
But i guess i agree that her global reach is slightly better which is impressive.

I never said Beyonce was
Why is it noteworthy then? If both albums didn't have pre-orders why is it noteworthy that RED didn't?
Beyonce and Red cleary lack quality so you are kinda wrong lol
Jealous (on an album with a metacritic score of 85 so far) & State Of Grace (from an album with a metacritic score of 77) alone are better than most of ARTPOP (61 on metacritic). What do you know about quality?
I'm putting my stan card aside and saying Beyonce. I mean dropping an album out of the thinnest of air and slaying that hard Even though Taylor's numbers shouldn't be ignored or discredited due to her promo. It wasn't available for pre-order so all those people went out and bought it on the first day.
The KING and the LORD
