![]() ![]() It’s a result of collective and premeditated efforts. They’ll need an overdose of miracle/luck to achieve more than one hit record or era on their own. Honestly, it’s almost never arbitrary, and marketing acumen from the biggest and richest artists can only yield a Trollz-esque chart run. Her whole schtick about re-recording has not only reintroduced her to the younger demographic 16 years after she was a teen, it has also embedded her in public consciousness that is pretty much dictated nowadays by the algorithm of your For You page, and at the same time, strengthened fan retention by constantly being in touch with their demands for new material/merch/music.įor a western artist to muster a gargantuan amount of pure sales a decade into her career that rivals even the most obsessive K-pop fandoms, while dominating the consumption patterns of the general public a la Drake and Bad Bunny, you pretty much get the best of both worlds. She recalibrated the business model of subscription-based streaming to fit where she is at her career: as a prolific writer churning out bodies of work in record speed. The key to this is beyond the combo of marketing acumen and four-chord prog music: it’s an artist so self-aware who always finds a way to be ahead of the curve. She was able to transition seamlessly from pure to digital to streaming without any signs of holding back and shutting down. ![]() People got to know that Swift runs her shit like a machine. I do think it’ll take years before another artist opens with a milly, unless Adele recaptures her cross-generational allure and comes back immediately after the underwhelming 30. This whole 1M week debut achievement is very arbitrary imo but it’s impressive regardless. You lot just want Swift to be the only million seller this decade. ![]() But everyone can believe whatever they want, I said what I said. You need to view Taylor’s 1.5m as a precedence, not an outlier. Republic simply applied to Folklore what worked for Drake, Post Malone, Grande, Weekend etc (longer track lists and shorter breaks among other subtle stuffs). Was Swift big at streaming before? Nope, only one of her songs have even crossed 1B on Spotify. You fail to understand that in business, your competitors will always thoroughly study your new accomplishments and try to reproduce them. 4 was presumed to be the end for Beyonce, Self-Tilted proved otherwise, again someone insisted on her side projects’ performances being indicative of a final slump, yet Renaissance did not only have great numbers and a No1, it is stable and Cuff It could reach No1! 30 is Adele’s 4/Lover/Rated-R, I’ll be here when she obliterates 1m again. Users disagreed when I insisted that an album by Adele or Swift could very well reach 1m this decade, citing Lover’s decline as proof.Ī-Listers have evolved to have dynamic commercial trajectories but users are once again being too short-sighted to notice. Harry reached a new peak, it’s not guaranteed to be his career peak. I”ll assume that you weren’t trying to be insulting with “silly”. no one is ever going to reach 1 mil again. therefore it’s guaranteed olivia Rodrigo will never reach 200k pure album sales in her entire career. Zoomers simply aint buyin’ like the boomers. the only album buying listeners are the old fans from the last decade who were already accustomed to buying whenever their fav releases, and they are getting fewer and fewer. even if he doubles his outreach & fanbase, those new fans arent gonna be contributing in the pure sales department anyway. he just reached his new commercial peak, and still couldnt top taylor’s indie-folk album sales. ![]() The idea of harry styles doing 1 mil is also very silly. ![]()
