Can you actually argue that or just say "pressed," "deluded" or "we don't have to discuss that because you automatically lose?"
The three 1M+ weeks are not the same thing as what we were arguing about. I pointed out that female first week sales were not at their peak in 2000. Only 7 women debuted with 100k+ (your fave, Christina, put out two studio albums and neither debuted with 100k+ nor did legends like Mariah Carey with her Valentines EP and Celine Dion with her boxset, among many others). Only three women went #1 that year (Britney, Celine and Madonna). How can you prove female first week sales were at their peak in 2000?
If you're just going to post things like "deluded" or "YOU'RE PRESSED" or whatever, then please keep it to yourself. You haven't been able to follow our "argument," let alone formulate anything other than those three words. The irony lies in the fact that you're angry enough to post on my wall and asked to let me know when I respond to you. 
And for the record, I didn't say I don't care. I've been a fan of Taylor's since 2006 (whereas you've been a fan since a week ago when she was a threat to a record held by an artist you don't like) and I'm a stan of Britney's. I'm invested in the outcome either way. However, I am not pressed. I think Taylor will do it and I'm happy for her. You could say I'm annoyed by bandwagoners like you, but that's not the same thing as "being pressed" |
A comparison was made, that's why I said Gaga's doesn't count since without those ¢99 sales she's nowhere near 1 million. Your "logic" is just way too much for me. (to the bolded part) That's EXACTLY why Taylor's achievement >>>>>>> Britney's.
All this time I have talked about Taylor's achievement being MORE impressive than Britney's considering the state of album sales in each given time since my very first post. The fact that you had to reduce it to
"female opening week sales" says it all. The irony comes from the fact that I haven't even typed all those phrases you have put into quotation marks. What a sad situation. And YET again you avoid to answer the question, I wonder why, are you afraid to let that
YES, it's more impressive come out of your keyboard?
Is it or isn't it more impressive to open with +1 milli three times in a row during the '10s (when album sales are in a historic low) than doing 1.3 million in early '00s (when albums sales were at their peak)?
YES/NO
Let me guess, your next reply will be you avoiding the question once again and mentioning the female opening weeks of 2000 and saying I'm only calling you pressed and etc. The funny thing is I don't even like Taylor's music at all, I am just stating what is obvious, no surprise multiple users have said the same thing and have agreed with me, but you do you.
And Brit was one of many to debut with a 1,000,000+ in sales during that time period. 
.... so basically taylor's doing 2.5-2.7 
is that you in the video or was the video taken from somewhere?
