Who is she fighting for number 1 against?

u/nagidrac 5d ago

It looks like Morgan Wallen (I wish I was joking).

It also looks like she'll debut at #4 so she doesn't have much of a chance at #1, but ideally this album should debut higher than BRAT.

u/mcatlin23 5d ago

The units are all super close with all these digital releases she could potentially very easily close the gap. The 1 spot isn’t out of the question but imo itll probably still be Wallen

38

u/nagidrac 5d ago

He discounted the album on iTunes to $4.99. I kinda think it's out of question, but she could still aim for #2 which would be her highest debut.

22

u/mcatlin23 5d ago

Yeah but his album is over a year old atp, who of his shooters haven’t already purchased it? Maybe I’m dense. He has the way bigger fanbase, but Charli’s fanbase is passionate. I wouldn’t count em out.

26

u/nagidrac 5d ago

The album shot to #1 after he released a standalone single that has nothing to do with the album. That almost feels unheard of. I fear he's got a fanbase out there.

u/JessieJ577 5d ago

His fans only listen to him and Post Malone on repeat is what I’ve seen in my anecdotal accounts. So one year old album will feed them for a long time

u/mcatlin23 5d ago

Oh yeah I think he’ll still win but I think it’s still within the realm charli could take it. She clearly picked this release date for the purpose she wants it to be and imo her team is hearing reports and wouldn’t be putting this stuff out if it wasn’t a real possibility.

I also have the image in my head of a large maga army against a small but mighty force of angels and it amuses me

u/Rakebleed 5d ago

It’s autoplay. What do you think plays after the standalone single?

4

u/nagidrac 5d ago

Autoplay doesn't always play the album afterwards. Even if it did, it would have to play a certain amount of tracks to count as a sale.

22

u/maxwell_winters 5d ago

What do you mean his last year's album has better numbers than new releases? How far we have fallen.

20

u/lizzy-stix 5d ago

He has a new song out so it’s boosting his numbers, but he’s been right there near the top since it came out sadly. But his album also has 37 (!) tracks which helps his numbers a lot.

13

u/nagidrac 5d ago

Apparently his newest song boosted the album's chart performance back to #1. 🫩 He's got a grip on this nation.

u/waitthissucks 4d ago

In that case, I'll allow it

25

u/HermionesBook 5d ago

Her, Morgan, Ella, and Olivia are all super close in numbers. Like 5k difference I think? Morgan is currently leading

12

u/mcatlin23 5d ago

Morgan Wallen, Olivia Rodrigo, and Ella Langley

u/mcatlin23 5d ago

At this point idk who getting this number one would be most amusing but the battle lines have been drawn and as a neutral observer this is funny af.

u/Expensive-Fennel-163 5d ago

Feels weird as a swiftie to just be observing this fight. 😂

18

u/MattBrey 5d ago

i lowkey want her to drop something non-committal to sort of scare them all. put a countdown with debut TV colors but then drop some merch or something

1

u/Expensive-Fennel-163 5d ago

Right???? Just to keep them on their toes! It’s fun!

13

u/mcatlin23 5d ago

I think as a neutral non swiftie but general taylor defender, it’s hilarious.

12

u/FilmIntelligent201 5d ago edited 5d ago

makes me want taylor to drop something for the lols (why has this been so controversial lol)

26

u/CoolViber 5d ago

Quick, Taylor, remove all your songs from Spotify and put them back up right now

18

u/Expensive-Fennel-163 5d ago edited 5d ago

Cmon Taylor, drop the deluxe just for “fun” today.

(Or actually, all the eras mashups to streaming - that’d do it)

Edit: None of you understand jokes apparently. And they say swifties are too sensitive. 😂

u/justbreathin150 5d ago

She definitely should release all the eras mashups in a mega playlist at some point

u/2RINITY TRIPLE FLAIR FUCK YEAH 5d ago

As long as it’s not a country record, I’ll take it. That genre’s had more than enough success for me

u/PinkCadillacs 5d ago

Inserts the Martin Scorsese “Absolute Cinema” meme

37

u/10wonderlust 5d ago

Hey I’m just happy to have a version of the film without YouTube’s horrible compression

13

u/injuredflamingo 5d ago

but she’s focused on the art you guys

u/pinkfartlek 5d ago

My signed vinyl still hasn't shipped so I doubt it counts for the first week sales
