1989 did feel like a non-event compared to eras like PRISM and Bangerz. Shake It Off was big for a few weeks but then nothing. I only ever hear about 1989 on ATRL.

Hozier's last album outsold My Everything too. We going to pretend that it was a factor outside of Take Me To Church?
Hozier and ME are at about the same sales, it's not like it was a blowout. Regardless, that ONE factor doesn't mean the Hozier era overall was bigger. Ari had more HIT singles, more streams, and a FAR larger tour. So what was that argument supposed to prove?

This isn't surprising, you don't live in the US after all

Are you going to pretend that people aren't more invested in Hozier's music than Ariana's? Because they are, especially considering that he only released two singles and only one of them was a hit.
Can't argue against people who live in Europe excluding UK how they felt about the 1989 era. It's probably true.
Don't believe them. They will take advantage of your lack of empirical evidence. Everyone kept saying (especially Jennifer) that Rihanna is not famous is NA yet when I turned on the radio, the first thing they were talking about was her CFDA dress, and it wasn't the day after or anything.
Um, not really. 'How Dull, How Dense, How Docile' is selling less than 5k a week now and was on sale for 4 months longer than Selegend.
Godmez will outsell him in 3 weeks, max.
What the **** are you talking about? How Big just passed the one-million mark while Revival is still less than 400k ww. He was obviously talking about the ww sales.

I guess, but it's pure pop (which is more global according to ATRL). 1989 is a pure pop album and it was outselling everyone before Aderriere came along.
Plus with that big of a promotion campaign and immense pop radio support, it is pretty astounding how it didn't at least cross the 2M mark.
Unapologetic felt big here too, a lot of my friends knew non-singles. In the past few years, that's only happened with Taylor, Bey and Rih. And obviously 1D but a lot of people I know are fans so that doesn't count.

I think this argument took a HUGE tangent, but we were talking about eras being bigger than one another. While you may be right about the "investment" aspect, using one metric of consumption to argue that one era was bigger than another just doesn't work (especially when the victory in that metric was marginal compared to the other blowouts).
