Cersei 56 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 With all her albums like 75% of the sales are from the USA. Even still with "Red". While not being local anymore, she's still way bigger in America than outside. You have to take into context though selling just under 50K in one day is massive in the UK considering the average debut sales for albums are under 100K. The biggest debut of 2014 was Ed Sheeran's X which sold 189K in it's first week... which is literally incredible! An album debuting with 300K in the UK is equivalent to a 1M debut in the US in my eyes, because our market is not that strong. The biggest ever UK debut was Oasis's Be Here Now which sold 660K in it's first week in the UK... Arctic Monkeys are the UK's taylor in my eyes, they haven't had an album which hasn't debuted with riddiculous numbers, their debut sold 369K in the UK first week, and each album has sold well. AM in 2013 sold 160K first week. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkwolf 590 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Opening with 1 million in 2014 is like opening with 3 million+ in 2000. yeah, but nowadays most albums don't sell much after 2-3 weeks.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just talking about worldwide, not only the UK. For Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, Beyoncé, ... only about 40% of their albums sales come from the US. With Taylor it was still at about 75% with 'Red'.

Pop 4,541 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Really? I thought sales were fantastic in the 90s? They were. I'm saying sales are so low these days that opening with 1 Million is much more impressive than back then. The Taylor Brigade: KNOCKOUT Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jewels n Drugs 4,629 Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 Taylor is still big with the general public and this is why she consistently has such huge opening sales. She doesn't have to rely only on her fanbase for album sales. oh look when you werent looking my motorcycle turned into a piano Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
