Taylor has NEVER sold 10 million copies of one album in the US. What the hell are you talking about?

1989 sold 10 million, but it did so WORLDWIDE. Her highest sales in the US are at 7 million. Again, where do you do your research???

What are you talking about??? fearless is diamond 😂😂😂

we been knew  but sadly, not everybody can be streaming legends

however they still have websites like bandcamp that can help distribute digital copies of their work and streaming can give them any extra pennies  

 

Spotify done fck up music and showbiz

Because of their business plan, many artists only care to make music that will go viral so it will make lots of spins that gives them money over quality

Unless you're Drake or Kendrick or Yonce Or Rhenna or Swift, that make millions off streaming while maintaining their brand and quality, you better off elsewhere

so why did u say buy instead of stream

and people don't have to stream the whole album for it to count as an album sale

I said why would anyone buy an album. an album. not THIS album. I'm talking about how album sales across the industry are low but I'm personally surprised that they are still as high as they are. 

 

can y'all on this website stop treating me like i'm stupid because you can't read tho. bye

Fearless hasn't sold 10 million. It's because of streaming. 

Mathematics: If Fearless sold 10 million then why is 1989 the only album that crossed 10 million WW? I need ya'll to do your research correct next time

Worldwide? No it did not. 

They started incorporating streaming worldwide on mediatraffic on January 1st, 2017. That means Lemonade's 3.6 million is pure sales, while Reputation's 3.3 million is UNITS (sales + streaming).

In pure sales it looks like this:

Reputation 2.1 million WW

Lemonade 3.6 million WW 

 

Beyonce's is NOT an overrated albumseller. Name me other females that can sell well over 3 million without streaming except for Adele? Taylor obviously couldn't LOL. 

But Beyonce sold 2.6M in 2016

http://mediatraffic.de/albums-2016.htm

And when they started incorporating streams in 2017 she did less than 909K SPS

http://mediatraffic.de/albums-2017.htm

So it's kinda mathematically impossible for her to be at 3.6M WW

 

By the way, Taylor sold more than 100K outside of the US but im sure you knew this already!

no honey we need you to do some research, throughout this whole thread you've been trying to validate your ridiculous claims and it's annoying

Fearless has sold 7,150,000, according to Nielsen Music but has sold 10 million album equivalent units. The information is literally everywhere

Instead of attacking me for pointing out facts, stop spewing lies and calling people annoying just because you're wrong.

Reputation is 3xPlatinum only in the USA(aka it has 3+ Million CSPC only there) and Taylor's tour havn't even started yet and Lemonade sold 2,5 Million in pure sales and 3,8 Million with streaming:

Taylor outsold her in less than 6 months without pulling any gimmics ala "my husband cheets, but I'm still with him" and Reputation is even available on Spotify unlike some other albums and is still outselling Orange juice

Fearless and 1989 are certified Diamond though, as bitter as you are

Without gimmicks? Ehm, the video for LWYMMD begs to differ 

Lemonade is ONLY available on Tidal. I mean, wanna discuss then please do. your. research. 

I apologize for sounding mean, but for God's sake. You claim stuff about Reputation, but Lemonade isn't even available on Spotify. 

And how can you claim Reputation is without gimmicks?

My point is that Reputation outsold Lemonade in half a year, being available on all streaming platforms(unlike Lemonade, which you have to either buy, stream on Tidal, or get sued for downloading it illegaly), with 1/5 the promo and without a tour. 

You can't discredit Taylor, but at the same time claim Beyonce is some kind of "force", "Godess" or whatever of sales, when Taylor is outselling her with ease.
