"The final numbers are in for music sales this past week.

Taylor Swift’s “The Life of a Showgirl” dropped 92% in its second week, from 4 million to 335,423 according to hitsdailydouble.com.

Only a third of the sales were physical, including CDs, LPs, cassettes, and paid downloads. Two thirds came from streaming."

She’s the queen of big numbers

I'm curious about how much she would sell without the billion variants and gimmicks in her 1st week.

1 CD, 1 vinyl, 1 digital version, that's it.

every artist has multiple variants now, Taylor would still sell more that any of them.

It would still be above 1M. Billboard doesn't count more than 4 physical sales of a record per person so the variants only inflate the sales up to a point. She opened with 4m and there's no way 1m people bought 4 (or more) variants, so there is genuine demand that outstrips anyone else in the market. It would be fascinating to know how many individuals bought the album in the US. It is probably close to 1m.

In the case that she only had 1 of each; cd, vinyl, digital and casette the sales would be about 540k pure sales per my calculations  still a lot but nowhere near the 4m mark of 30ish variants.
