1.316M is actually AMAZING for 2014. Plus this is officially her 3nd album that passed 1M in its first week. Congratulations.

Music taste is subjective. Sorry you'd rather have everyone conform to your preferred genre of music. Taylor's sales are incredible and deserved. The album was amazing in my opinion (and a lot of others'). Go listen to your indie music and stop trying to bring negativity into a thread about a giant achievement because you can't stand to see someone other than your faves being successful. Plus it's just music. Enjoy it. Stop shaming others for not listening to what you consider "quality" music. Scatter.

no baby, you are embarrassing.. i hope you get to give taylor her plaque for her grand achievement.
you clearly dont know to comprehend what im saying so let me break it down for you.
i dont only listen to indie music, i listen to all genres, and im not saying there isnt good pop... but people in this thread HAVE been saying this is one of the best albums of the year, and im not gonna lsiten to that.

i dont care if you agree with me at all, so dont say all that BS about me shaming people or wanting everyone to conform to what i want cuz YOU DONT KNOW ME. I state my opinion and argue it, but i dont give two ***** if you agree or not.

now bye girl, go try and test brits record again. :*

Am I remembering wrong or did Billboard post their article about Red's sales on Tuesday night?

[slw84]

i don't like how the britney fans that rarely post in the base are coming in here freaking out when IT IS VERY LIKELY that Taylor has the record based on billboard numbers.

Do we really think Billboard's woman of the year would miss out on that record when billboard has notoriously posted higher than Hits.

So when she DOES have the record by like 10 records don't have a meltdown either...smh.

A 76 on metacritic??? that doesnt constitute a best album of the year, so many better albums.
try listening to the war on drugs, lost in the dream. maybe then you will get to enjoy some quality music.

Jake Gyllenhaal is that you?

and one more thing for the taylor stans... being the biggest doesnt always mean being the BEST.

there were far better albums this year, by artists who are not huge superstars, but we never take the time to notice them because they dont harass us with promo and try and break sales records, they are ARTISTS who make quality MUSIC... do some research kiddies!!

It's not that Taylor was particularly trying to break records, she has always worked hard to promote her albums, all of them and there is nothing wrong with an artist promoting their craft

[getback]

when will the Billboard number be out?
if it REALLY broke the record, the article should be out by tonight, right?

[castle13]

I highly doubt!

Billboard always posts Wednesday morning.

We'll know in about 15 hours.

Pretty sure it was Tuesday night but that was because it they were bombarded on social media to release the article.

Did she break the record?!

[FreeXone]

I don't HDD is the exact amount...she's only off by 3k. She may beat it.

no i totally agree.... but doing something like a big contest at Subway kinda devalues her brand and her music's brand for me and makes it just seem like a dog and pony show to get us to buy albums rather than doing something which is authentic and actually promotes the music itself, not just her name and that you gotta buy the album.

Up 3k

PerchedT for the meltdowns when its up 2k

To me Taylor broke Britney's record. To pull that number in 2014 is like the equivalent to 3 million first week sales back then.

Not whe Britney used to be the biggest bubblegum puppet of all time. You have nerve.

[Dingdong123]

I CAN'T. I JUST CAN'T. Mess at it missing the record by 3k. Just, too much. Imma collapse real quick.
