Taylor Swift's 'The Life of a Showgirl' debuts with 250M streams on Global Spotify

[Yaaaas Gaga 953]

It’s just ridiculous at this point how far she exceeds the numbers of everyone else. Like most other artists would be extremely happy with a debut of 40-60m.

I’ve not enjoyed any Taylor Swift album since Lover but thought i’d give this one a listen due to the usual hype machine, but it really does nothing for me. I was hopeful of a more pop influenced album based on the rumours but I found most the tracks to be mediocre at best and somewhat boring.

I guess even though the single day streams are lower than TTPD this has actually done better as it has much less tracks. 

It’s such a shame that artists with better material aren’t getting these types of debuts but I guess the mainstream is always the most universal.

Did she beat her TTPD debut?

I feel like there's never been a pop artist who is THIS much more successful than their peers. Even MJ, Madonna had chart rivalry with other big stars at the time, 13M alone in the US is obscene

Good for her. With the way she feeds her fans constantly she has earned those numbers 

I just wish the music itself wasn't so underwhelming. It's like with each album she's selling more and more while the quality is steadily declining. I guess this is what you get when you succeed too much. I also feel like her fans are much less critical of her than other fanbases. That's why they ultimately stream and buy her music instead of nitpicking.

These numbers aren't as exciting or interesting anymore especially knowing that it doesn't translate to real world popularity judging by how no one even remembers what her last album sounded like and is pretty much forgotten whereas people still talk about albums like eternal sunshine etc

spotify is faking numbers or they are not blocking bots and stream farms, because these numbers are way too unrealistic. she has a lot of fans yeah, but some artists have more and they are not reaching these numbers.

more like she constantly feeds off her fans

the fans only get fed after putting in their credit card details
