At this rate Taylor and Ariana are going to occupy the entire top 10 by December 

The fact that Lover was Taylor's first album to be on streaming services on release date and it was less than 2 years ago and since then Taylor has released 2 new albums and a full on rerecorded version of an old album and all of those 4 did huge numbers. Her work ethic is ridiculous and she truly has transitioned herself extremely well into the streaming era within 2 years.

Comparing debut numbers is not fair in my opinion, because to put it in a simplistic way, between a 9 track project all of whose songs debut within the top 15 and a 30 songs project with only one song debuting top 20 but with more overall streams, which one do you think is more successful? It's not a comparable situation, but of course at the end of the day both kind of successes do amazing and there is no need to debate about which success is bigger. 

(And I think we tend to give first day numbers and chart debuts a bigger importance than they have, but it makes total sense since we're all dying to know how will a song perform on the charts even before it's release. But that's another story).

The same works with albums as a whole, I don't think adding the plays of every single song in an album is not a good way to measure one album's success and compare it against the others. Specially now when it seems like some artists are on a competiton about who can drag their era longer and more and more singles.

But which other fairer method could we use to compare numbers between albums? because doing the average between the album tracks would also be unfair. Anywayssss its not that serious I guess

At the end of the day it outstreamed Chromatica and justice by like 3-5m but she's big on streaming and has a lot more tracks... C3 is 3 seconds shorter and could've given Gaga a 50m debut.. It doesn't matter

Folklore did 80M, Evermore did 67M and now Fearless did 50M, surprised?

Is the GP finally getting tired of Miss Swift?

She released too many things too close to each other. I haven't even had the time to fully enjoy Evermore.

Anyway, Style, Delicate, Cornelia Street, Invisible Strings remain her best songs from their respective albums (but I also like a lot more).

Still don't care about her reheated songs

there's always the UK method

[ViviLittleM]

if there are 10 tracks,

500k for Gaga's solos

300k for the duets

100k for Tony's solo

= 2 Gaga solo 1M

6 duets = 1,8M

2 Tony solo 200k

TOTAL 3M

wow her fanbase is really huge and loyal, meanwhile liddos can’t even stream Gaga’s albums regularly 

I mean there are at least 2 chartsters who haven't even touched SL for months now so

And Taylor may not be global but holy sh!t does she more than make up for it with her US numbers 

[Andreu]

J Balvin's new single Otra Noche Sin ti (which is great btw) debuts at #54 with 1,7M streams. Bad positions because of the timing but good figure (would've been #36 last friday)

Country debuts

#8 Colombia*

#37 Spain*

#40 México*

#40 Panamá

#57 USA

#63 Chile

#83 Uruguay

#86 Perú

#105 Argentina

*highest debut of the day/week

Her work ethic is honestly incredible compared to her peers that debuted around the same time as her 

Selena has released like 3 solo albums in 8 years while playing Instagram model and not bothering to improve on anything 

Well.. Selena has so many health problems..

I honestly think it's the fairest one in use. Prevents an album from being carried by one single successful song (and limits the tracks counted iirc). I do think taking away the most successful tracks figures is something that's not the perfect solution, because they are still part of the album and it's natural that one songs do better than the others. (and in many cases a song doing better than the rest doesn't mean carrying the album)
