This thread will be a mess either way, if Taylor doesnt break it, you guys will be dragging everyone.

First of all, it doesn't get brought up that much.
Second of all, did you really call this unimpressive and here we are over 14 years later perched to see if any female can break it?

There's a reason sales peaked 2000-2004. Huge openings, and huge overall sales.
The average #1 debut in 2000 sold 795,000.

You can tell by the way Britney is the only female artist to debut with 1M+ in the year 2000. The next time was in 2004, and then 2010, 2011, 2012 and now 2014. Possibly 2015, too
Btw, sales peaked in the 90s and that was because the format of music changed so many times, which is also why catalogue sales were so incredibly high and albums from the 80s/early 90s have sold the most.
Any other "insightful" ramblings you've been dying to post?

Nvm. So we know she outdid the Target predictions of 410k by 30k+
She's got the record.
It seems like it was only yesterday that half of them were shading Taylor in their avatars and signatures because she fell short of breaking it just two years ago. Ironies of life.
