Members Eric83 Posted November 5, 2014 Members Share Posted November 5, 2014 Get 'em next time Taylor! Still huge regardless. Wonder if Adele's next release could pose a threat for Brit's record. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 5, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted November 5, 2014 I hope so! I wonder that too and that's the next album I'm eagerly anticipating....not because of her music but because of sales charts. I don't remember if Adele has had any 1 million first week sales though. Both her albums did well over time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted November 5, 2014 Members Share Posted November 5, 2014 (edited) She has not but she has the only album to go diamond in the US in this decade. Sales stand at about 12 million. With her higher profile now and a strong lead single she could have some huge potential numbers. Edited November 5, 2014 by Eric83 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted November 5, 2014 Members Share Posted November 5, 2014 Yeah, and Adele only really blew up with her 21 album. Despite Taylor's strong front-loaded sales, she's never manged to come close to getting a diamond album (and likely Adele will the last person to ever achieve that feat). Adele is also a bigger global star/seller. I think an album that sells consistently well over time is much more impressive than front-loaded first week sales. An album that sells well over time is just an extremely rare case these days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JackPeyton Posted November 7, 2014 Members Share Posted November 7, 2014 The most impressive thing about Taylor's sales is how many are physical CD's. Also, I know places and blank space are the best. I am obsessed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 7, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted November 7, 2014 Taylor talks about taking taking her music off Spotify: https://music.yahoo.com/blogs/music-news/exclusive--taylor-swift-on-being-pop-s-instantly-platinum-wonder----and-why-she-s-paddling-against-the-streams-085041907.html I also like this part where she talks about maintaining her relationship with her fans: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 7, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted November 7, 2014 She sold more at Target alone than Coldplay did everywhere. 474,000 to 383,000. Chart from The Roadmap to Taylor Swift's Record-Breaking Week in 6 (Not So Easy) Steps Another cool stat: http://www.usatoday.com/story/life/music/2014/11/04/taylor-swift-first-week-million-sales/18480613/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted November 8, 2014 Members Share Posted November 8, 2014 Target had the extra songs which is why I think it sold more. Surprised Amazon, WalMart and Best Buy weren't higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted November 8, 2014 Members Share Posted November 8, 2014 She sounds like an ungrateful little !@#$%^&*]. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 8, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted November 8, 2014 Ungrateful about what? What is Spotify doing for her and other artists who don't want their music on Spotify? The royalties payout is embarassing. Spotify should have a better model if they want those artists' content. They don't owe Spotify anything. For her or any other artist to be ungrateful, Spotify would have to be doing something in favour of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted November 8, 2014 Members Share Posted November 8, 2014 She's actually right. Making music is her job. That's the equivalent of me going to work and telling human resources "Oh you don't have to pay me!" LOL. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrator Toups Posted November 11, 2014 Author Administrator Share Posted November 11, 2014 That's definitely her best video. Glad to see her working with Joseph Khan now. Kudos to Taylor for the concept - it was fun and funny. And of course she looks great in the video! She's never had two songs on an album go #1, so hopefully this song will do that for her.

Members Eric83 Posted November 12, 2014 Members Share Posted November 12, 2014 That video is awesome. I feel like Blank Space is going to be her biggest hit ever. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
