I don't know, probably less. There is also one more new rule, album has to be shipped to count toward Billboard.
When Billboard still counted merch and album could be send later Taylor's Folklore debuted with 846K, her next album Evermore released after Billboard changed rules debuted with 329K.

I don't love the album because a lot of it has quite a Lana Del Rey-esque melancholy to it, which I can appreciate as beautiful music, but I'm not often in the right mindset for that. However.. there are some amazing songs on the album, in my opinion...

3. My Future

2. Therefore I Am

Tied for #1. Oxytocin and Happier Than Ever (stick with HTE, it grows)

probably around 175-225k, which is still great for the post-rule shift!

73,000 on VINYL!!!!! wtf!!! Crazy

[weed 73,872]

Exciting that the top 3 are all teenagers, happy for them doing the damn thing.

[Anderson123 38,456]

73k vinyls and 10k cassettes, that's insane but to be fair they snapped with these versions. The colored vinyls are gorgeous and I think a lot of fans are collecting them. I'm still undecided on which version to order because I want them all.  I'm for sure getting all formats (CD, Vinyl and cassette).

Not bad, but Chromatica and even ARTPOP had better first week sales

[DrewPa 3,762]

Just listened to it, I quite liked it, there is just a part in the middle I found a bit boring, at least at the first listen (in the vinyl s exactly the Side C, between "Not my responsibility" and "Your Power"), but as a whole, while I wouldn't listen to it everyday, I still reckon is a classy album

This is good considering many people called her a one hit wonder and a fad in a long time. Hope she serves longevity 'cause she deserves to stay, the album is so good

Chromatica had 274k with bundles, which are now banned. Billie would have done more if bundles were still a thing and Chromatica would have done less after the ban.
