I think she's just lucky because not many big artists are releasing. I mean no britney, no Rihanna, no Gaga, no Miley, no pink, no Katy, no JT, no Bruno, no Adam, no Adele, no Eminem, ...

If there were more competitions, I think 1989 would never perform better than her previous albums.

I like blank space and shake it off tho

Yep. She had a clear lane the entire holiday season in terms of promo and competition.

Only threat to her on that list is Adele tbh.

Yes, She's actually lucked out for 8+ years now.

No, it's a pop masterpiece and I don't see how competition would lessen her sales?
It's not like people are restricted to only buying 1 album a month

No she's dominant Queen of pop

Also a good chunk of that list isn't even competition

Nope. A success of something doesn't stop/minimize the success of something else.

If it's a smash, then it was meant to smash under different circumstances.

She's proven to be the best album seller from the current pop stars, so no.

Yeah. I assume all her other albums got lucky as well.

Yes her only competition was Cheek to Cheek and that ain't saying much.

No, she made a great pop album and people are simply loving her craft

Adele, Britney, Gaga, Beyonce and Katy could've all released in the same year as 1989 and it still would have slayed. Its quality pop music that both the fans and the GP enjoy and she is a very likeable person.

1989 is better than ARTPOP, Britney Jean, Prism, 21 and 20/20 combined.

Yes I agree

Only Adele can block her longer. The others maybe 1 or 2 weeks at most or never have the chance at all

I hope other popgirls could be as lucky as her
Who wouldn't want 2 1M+ debuting albums

this is what it's come to?

no. her marketing is amazing and she knows how to sell herself/write a current hit

The Lucky Chanteuse.
