People need to understand this. SIO is not a typical album seller. Imagine if she had a single that a broader appeal.

But you're underestimating SIO tbh. It openned the doors for more adult audience believe it or not

Are retailers' numbers announced in full? Target for example will always announce the total number sold at once?

Actually, it would be 1,900,538 copies sold in the 1st week

Watch her either break it or be off by like 15 copies

We got a 450k and then a 515k.

Possibilities:
One of them includes Target, neither includes iTunes
She underperformed at iTunes by a minimum of 75k and the other includes Target
She underperformed at iTunes by a minimum of 75k and the other includes the largest general retailers
We are wrong about how HDD collects sales and all of Target or all of iTunes is not actually counted all at once

I think the last option is true

I think Lord could've released a track of her farting as the lead single and she would still break 1m.

A true ablums artist.

The fact that a random 5 seconds noise went #1 in Canada because people thought it was a Taylor song

My guess is that they're not actually reported in bulk like this.

I definitely agree with you. She needs to punch through the rhythmic formats, and she will be solid. But she definitely has pop, adult pop, and adult contemporary under her thumb this era. She needs to win rhythmic over.

Each update isn't really for specific retailers. I remember Bey's sales were split up and she only had one retailer.

I thought we already knew for sure they didn't reported in bulk since "Beyoncé" release? She only had one retailer (iTunes) and her numbers were reported in parts.

Or they just counted a part of iTunes or Target sales.

dont they have to do them in full isn't that the point?

not here for their trickery

[Sanctuary]

Certain low-selling stanbases originally doubting that she could move even 500k.

People need to stop pretending that Gaga's debut doesn't count. Most of the folks who bought
the album with the Amazon deal probably would have purchased the album regardless.
No level-headed individual pays for an album they don't want, even if it's just a dollar.

Taylor is seriously out of this world. I'm glad she's very humble about it & I hope her stans will be too.

Nice to see Red getting a nice little boost.

Yeah, exactly. There's no way retailers give all of their numbers at once.

Or HDD just reports like this for clicks.

Either way, it's a waste of time trying to deduce anything from these numbers.
