Four years ago, Taylor Swift released an album with 13 hit songs that performed like singles. The acclaimed “Midnights�� has sold 21 million units globally with 4.5 million pure copies, won AOTY and is eligible for 9x Platinum in the US.
Taylor Swift becomes the first artist with multiple albums with over 15 weeks on top of Billboard 200, with her last two releases (Tortured Poets Department and The Life of a Showgirl).
“The Life of a Showgirl (feat. Sabrina Carpenter)” remains the biggest debut by a female collaboration in Spotify history, with 18.7 million streams despite new attempts.
It's literally the same modus operandi, all Swifties knew that these versions would be available today on Spotify. They won't add even 5 points, can we please stop acting like lunatics?
We feel like staying in and listening to the “Patient Zero” acoustic and piano versions this evening… good thing they’re out now on all streaming platforms! 🙆♀️ https://t.co/7h7WNhvnUq
“Patient Zero” is challenging for the biggest pure sales week of the year in the US (180k), currently belonging to “I Knew It, I Knew You” (184k) after breaking the previous record held by “Opalite” (168k).
Before the whining starts: the “Patient Zero” vinyls have been scheduled to ship on October 13 since their release. Over 100,000 units will count on the Hot 100 next week.
Longest running #1 albums on Billboard 200 this decade:
#1. One Thing at a Time — 19 weeks
#2. The Tortured Poets — 17 weeks
#3. The Life of a Showgirl — 14 weeks*
#3. I’m the Problem — 14 weeks
#4. SOS — 13 weeks
#4. Un Verano Sin Ti — 13 weeks
@EyeLineHer He simply doesn't sell pure copies. It doesn't matter if he makes a thousand variations or whatever, selling less than a 1k copies and relying solely on streaming conversions is actually a shame.
