I don't see much point for myself in buying music that is available on Spotify but it's a great album.

Damn, a Folk album actually outsold her last album "Lover" which was a Pop album. How dude?!

Folk music isn't mainstream and i hope to God it won't become mainstream and a lot of pop artists start to try and copy what this album did just because this album is so successful.

I would've preferred her to do like a Pop Rock album if she was gonna do an album with a genre she's never really done before to maybe get Rock back into the mainstream.

Lol yeah. Look, i'm not a huge fan of her older music because I don't care for country. Her pop stuff though, some of it's great. The important part to me is that she can play instruments and writes her own shit.

she came out as Democrat and the right got their feelings hurt because musicians should stick to their job and remain neutral

It didn't outsell Lover. Lover did 2 million on the first day. But that's to be expected since this one was a shadow drop that wasn't sent to stores to sell. It did stream more on Spotify to make up for it though.

I thought i saw where she only sold about 700-800k copies of Lover in first week sales. I could've sworn those were the numbers reported last year.

That was just the US.

It does look like the 2 million in first day includes 'consumption' which I guess is a new metric thanks to streaming lol

IDK I think name value outweighs genre when it comes to albums. Gaga went to #1 on the charts even when she went jazz.

People just really want new music rn and most the big artists are holding off because of COVID. We'll see how the singles do

If she says we partied, then I'm pretty sure we partied. I really don't remember. I remember we departed from our bodies.

drake's album is SELLING LIKE CRAZY
beyonce's album is SELLING LIKE CRAZY
swifty's album is SELLING LIKE CRAZY

at some point there's so much enertia to the fanbase that the album is going to sell LIKE CRAZY even if it's hot garbage like half of drake's work, or all of taylor swift's

they should have figured out a better way to capture this because now with streaming the numbers are nonsensical
