wow i hope britney holds on but there's nothing we can do at this point. innocent bystanders of chart history

but to think we finally have someone with a similar peak to Oops era britney that's what the swifties should be bragging about, not the sales

Or we can brag about how She is doing 1m for the third time, now with Her biggest opening sales eight years into Her career. That's even better than Britney's record to me. Eight years into Britney's career, I'm pretty sure she was right in the middle of her meltdown

taylor is much bigger than britney (in the US) its not debateable

Taylord's team must feel so stupid that they didn't anticipated this slayage and shipped much more copies, I have seen a lot of people complaining that 1989 is sold out everywhere. If it wasn't because she sold a **** ton of digital sales there would have been no way that she could destroy Godney's record even if she had the power to do it.

I'm telling you girls... this is gonna ****ing BULLDOZE.

Angie is coming

I've had enough, this is my prayer

Still, Katy's big-breasted bimbo lane is far more enjoyable to watch than Taylor's ~quirky teenage girl

It's baffling as hell. They both pander to the same demographic (minus Taylor's country audience), work with the same producers, utilize the same tactics for extra sales and yet Katy gets curb stomped every time.

Taylor has broader appeal imo, at least in terms of her core fan base.

they shouldve been ambitious like the time katys team shipped over 10 times teenage dreams actual demand and killed the music industry

Katy isn't a big a household name as Taylor is. She doesn't have a celebrity persona.

Yeah, not a single album released in 2013 is even close to be platinum.

The fact that she's platinum in the debut week without any gimmicks...

She's SOOOO superior than any of our faves in the US.

The Edge of Glory's saxophone solo is way better than what Godga sings. Lol. But the way that song ends with the production fading out and the saxophone rising just before it fades.. ugh, beautiful.

Godga needs to snatch Fernando Garibay back from Kylie.

[Ramos]

I mean, WTF with her legit POWER and household name

As of Nov. 1, with only one full day left in the album's debut tracking week, industry forecasters now say 1989 could sell over 1.3 million copies through Nov. 2.

A little over two weeks ago, forecasters pegged the new album to sell 750,000 in its debut frame. Then, about a week ago (Oct. 23), it was upgraded to 800,000. By mid-day Oct. 27, the album's release day, its projection grew to over 900,000. The next day: 1 million, followed by upgrades to 1.2 million on Oct. 29 and then 1.25 million on Oct. 31.

That was for RED (and those were like only 10k sales), we can't try it with that either.

i lowkey agree

[RihannasVeryOwn]

I hope she sells like 1.30 million or something really really close but not enough to pass Brint
ATRL would implode
