I heard a lot of 40-50k predictions from AB stans on twitter!

C#1C better get to the front of the shelves right next to 1989 for Black Friday. I'm ready

I got into a very specific "argument" with a stan who said the GP was loving this album and that because the critics loved it, its sales would be high too.

And don't pretend like you didn't see the stans bragging. Just on this page someone is like, "she proved them wrong".

[babyboy44]

Both Taylors and Azealias numbers are impressive!

[Teezy]

This is much better than expected. An unpromoted, unknown release by a new artist selling 11k is great

[taylor__fan]

+400K wow!
Probably around 385K in Billboard
Red did less than 350K so this is great!

How many weeks has C#1C been in the top 15?

I dont know what stan said that but the majority only expected her to do only 10k, theres even a thread about it with a poll.

Thank you.

1. Digital only
2. Surprise release
3. Middle of the week release
4. Not well known in the US
5. No label
6. 2 year delayed album
7. No hit single
8. Twitter beefs hurting her image ()

These were all factors working against her and she still managed to sell above 10k. If y'all can't comprehend how great this is, I can't help you there.

Great numbers for Taylor and Azealia

[hausofdave]

Taylor's power is truly unsurpassed

nice to see C2C still holding steady and maintaining its longevity that ARTPOP never could achieve got

[Thor]

Gaga & Tony just won't stop slaying!

Taylor snatching!

That's her own problem though. Besides, many actually famous popstars have continued to have success after controversy.

[Ties]

How much did the new classic sell first week?

I'm not implying it isn't, but to ignore the fact that she's probably one of the most obnoxious artists out now is stupid because that sure as hell plays a part in sales.
