Taylor Swift is a cert for #1 on the next edition of the Billboard 200 with new album ‘Reputation’. But that much was always a given.
The true story has also centered around how high she’d climb.
Indeed, sans an SNL performance, the Pop titan has staged a media blackout – shunning interviews and the “usual” stages.
And while that would have rendered most project’s dead on arrival, it’s had the opposite effect on sales of her LP.
See what we mean below…
Per Hits Daily Double, the final number for Swift with all units tallied is:
1.29 Million
This is almost entirely comprised of pure sales, given that the project is not available on streaming services. A small portion will still be attributable to streams considering that select songs are on the Spotify’s and Apple Music’s, as such will be counted to the overall album total.
Lookout for Rashad‘s upcoming Chart Check for further dissection of the digits and decimals.
In the meanwhile, though, what are…

Streams eiyldvr pit her over two million…slay
I hope it goest down to 200K by the week after.
And even if it does. 200k is still a shitload more than the overall sales of other artists.
I am not a big, though I think the album is quite cute in some parts. But you have to admit that she is the Queen right now. I don’t get the appeal, but it is what it is
Wypipo came out and showed out in support I see. ??
When Beyonce doing it?
When will anyone else ever?
When my fave comes back she will crush this AGAIN.
But yea, only Adele & Taylor can still sell albums.
Poor others…
Bye Katy girl..

None of our faves (I have many btw so shh..) can match or oversell Taylor and Adele’ sales….. which is sad!
I would love to see someone like Jazmine Sullivan become our Adele and selling this many units but she BLACK and R&B. 2 “X’s” that won’t ever make her see that happening 🙁
The thing is that whites buy their own s*** and still support music. Maybe blacks should start the same and get r&b back on top. Though r&b became a bit stale in the last years tbh
Queen Taylor, when will your fav? Pure sale #LegendaryLane
Everybody is mad at her, she’s basic, she sells because she’s white, blah blah blah, well, I dislike her too but because she’s a mediocre artist but her sales are genuine, people buy her music, there’s no more to it, there are plenty of white artists who should be selling this much based on their talent alone but they don’t, so race has nothing to do with her sales, y’all buy Beyoncé’s albums but ignore Jazmine Sullivan’s releases, it’s simple, people are to blame for the lack of/or success of an artist’s project.
I agree.
Blaques always crying
I buy music ? that means something the bull s*** she gives y’all Caucasian is foolishness!!
There’s no ‘of’ after ‘comprised’. It’s either ‘comprises’, ‘comprised’ or ‘comprising’.
U da best bae lol
So she’s still in third place with biggest 1st week sales by a female she almost grab second place
Yessssss!!!! The new Queen Of POP!!!! I’m so proud of her, Reputation is my fav Pop album of all time I can’t stop listening to it!
Uncle Tom. I see you are still eating cheeseburgers and laying on your fat tummy listening to white girl basic music.
And she did it with pure sales…. also it’s the best selling album of the year:) number 1 in the uk as well.
Black people are always the first to come with race, and don’t say it’s not true.. every little thing happens it’s because we are black omg y’all try and get over that s*** … So Whitney Houston, puff daddy, Tina Turner,Donna summers they never used to sell ..I remember when the chart was all black people y’all ever used to complain around those times?? I guess not ..y’all just want black to be on top and then y’all with all crazy s*** to talk …oh we are the best no one can be better than our race …on please
This b****. Damn.
