idk Taylor is selling high in tough times.
And she's never had a Try This (Pu$$Y) sized flop.

She's also never had an album as big as M!ss and TTAL sold more than Red.

Katy is also consistent too though.

Not really. 2 flop singles in a short amount of time doesn't really demonstrate consistency.

Katy and her team were genius to manufacture a feud btwn her and Gags by making their release dates so close together. It was obvious with her likability that the public would take Katy's side and they put the final nail in Gags her coffin.

Katy is the secret mean pop girl!

I will forever love her for that.

Hmm?
I thought it sold the same. Cause P!nk definitely did not sell 7 million albums.

She is, and I think like Rihanna, she'll always have at least moderate success.

In general/overall like era wise.

Yeah idk how that jives with all that's implied by her assessment in this part, though:



The whole context is commercial success and being able to move units so I don't really see it as "recognition of your worth" in some other abstract sense.

Well, yeah, that part's hogwash.

But her main points actually provide a pretty compelling explanation for the state of album sales. For instance, pop album sales are so poor because many of the pop artists of the now have not been around for very long or have failed to build lasting connections with fans and are subsequently unable to take reap the benefits of good-faith sales from them. Some of the notable exceptions might be major teen phenomena (One Direction, Justin Bieber, Taylor Swift) who manage to build a relationship with an audience that, while holding less of a stake in overall album sales, is more effectively marketed to; and crossover acts who manage to juggle pop success with a time-developed fandom (Coldplay, Taylor Swift, Eminem, P!nk). Genres like rock and country enjoy the highest album sales because of established acts with older, devoted audiences.

Also: Taylor had more successful singles than Pink did during the TTAL era.

No. Only her label says that the album sold 7M. There are no receipts for this though. Mediatraffic is saying 5.5 million and Music Charts is saying 6 million. IFPI didn't say anything either about a 7 million. So there's basically a mysterious extra 1-1.5 million sales that her label claims the album has sold and we don't really know where it came from.

It's the classic "Good Witch vs Bad Witch" tale and good ALWAYS prevails.

Disney couldn't have wrote it better if they wanted to.

Woody Allen's new film starts screening today.

Here for a Midnight in Paris/Blue Jasmine instead of a To Rome With Love/You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger.

You have to keep in mind - Unconditionally flopped because it was released when all the focus was on Dark Horse. And Birthday simply underperformed because none of the girls are gonna have hit after hit.

She's only had three. When she's 6-7 eras in, we can talk.

Fearless was bigger than M!ss and Red has sold more at least according to Mediatraffic

Katy's lashes are going to be even harder than what Godga got.

Tity's biggest accomplishments are all chart related. The LASHES when she stops ******** #1s will be very funny! It's already happening btw hihihihihi.

I'm talking about her career as a whole. She was bound to have a single that wasn't a big hit.
