What the **** is this "sales climate" you guys keep talking about?

Record sales are on a steady decline. Albums and singles aren't selling anywhere near as well as they used to.

[Haunted.]

as long as she sells more than your faves



which is the most likely scenario

[Jet]

Yes

Hasn't that been the case for the past decade or so???

[TheCheetahwings]

[materialboy]

She already has a #1 so no.

[musicfan09]

Not at all

[fridayteenage]

The OP is so lies.

Her fans are Worried that the decline will be steep, not Bragging that it won't happen.
Her fans are Praying that a million is possible, not Cocky about it.

Like, what even?

Anyway, Shake it Off is bigger than Applause already anyway. I highly doubt the album will flop, but yes, it's likely that it will be down some from her peak in album sales.

[alestevens]

No one inside of her fanbase thinks she will sell more than RED, nor in its first week, nor in the long run. It will sell good, but it will be her least selling effort. It will probably have more hits tho

The delusion is realT.
You really think country fans support an album with WANEGBT, 22, IKYWT?

A majority of Her country fans jumped ship after Speak Now.

Even HER country singles have struggled on country radio.

Oh wow!

[MusicTalker]

7 1989

Making flopping look so good.

[ScarletWitch]

You Kats can keep trying to drag Gaga and Taylor, but its a fact that both of them are infinitely better than perry.

[King Maxx]

NEVER

[Icannot]

Screaming.

[AlienTing]

But Applause didn't even reach #1 and SIO did.
