I think it's because of digital sales. You can get your favs album by sitting on the couch eating potato chips.
Back when Britney had her 1 million debut, you had to physically leave your house, go to a record store, hope the album wasn't already sold out & wait in line to buy the album. I skipped school to get the album & it took all day waiting at Best Buy to buy my 2 physical copies
1 million debuts are impressive, but back in the early 2000's it was tougher.
I skipped school 3 times in middle school to get N'Sync (which was sold out the first 2 stores I went to), Britney (waited in line before the store opened) & Eminem (waited in line before the store opened).
As many? But it's only Taylor the one debuting with over 1 million three times in a row EVER. Who else is doing it, Gaga? Take away those ¢99 sales and she's nowhere near. It's just stupid to say it wasn't easier back in the early 00s when MULTIPLE acts were doing it (and even bigger numbers) to now that only Taylor is doing it, just because she's done it three times. Where's your damn common sense?
These britbots are just something else.
I would love for this to happen.
