A reminder of the trajectory for Fearless:
The equivalent to this week 55k
64k (+9k) counting a few hours of Grammys boost
92k (+28k) counting the full Grammys boost plus Valentine's Day gift boosts, back to #1 and mercilessly blocking the AOTY winner going up over 700%
62k, losing that boost but still #1 thanks to weak release schedule
73k (+11k), not sure why it increased since Billboard doesn't have a comment, last week at #1
A similar boost would put 1989 at over 100k in pure sales 2 weeks from now.
I can't at him pulling way lower than Chris, Usher, Trey would.
Ever since he moved from DefJam to Motown his eras have been a mess... And the album is 98% R&B... There's like nothing for the pop fans (there's a few hits tho). Pretty sure his 7th album will be pure pop after these sales
