If Billie, Taylor, and Ariana get into AOTY they’re all gonna lose. I think there’s a solid chance they all will too. All critically acclaimed and popular with Lover having the convenience of being new and fresh on the voters’ minds.

I don’t think you get it. It’s more about chart consistency and positions than sales. Taylor likely is gonna beat Rihanna due to immensely better album performance and solid single performance.

1. Drake

2. Taylor Swift

3. Rihanna

4. Adele

Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, Beyonce, will be top 10

Maybe Shawn and Camila can spare us the steamy performance now.

Last second predictions

Lover is likely to sell over 850k~ copies and it has big momentum moving into voting season. Something Speak Now and reputation could not say. reputation was a cathartic album, it was misunderstood and that was Taylor’s own fault for trying to make it something that it wasn’t. Lover is very unproblematic and easy to listen too. Do I think it’ll…[Read more]

When Speak Now came out not even fans were jiving with it as much. It was meant to be melodramatic and theatre-y. I think it’s one of the best self written female albums of all time but that’s besides the point. There’s 8 slots. I think Lover has a small chance to enter it. Maybe even over tun. Lover has momentum going into the voting season,…[Read more]

So Adele winning every award again.

She broke the Target record that was held by reputation. She likely sold 150-200k~ at Target last time so I assume something like 300k~ is just from physical copies in its opening day. iTunes is likely anywhere between 90-200k. I think first day sales with everything accounted for will be 450-600k~. reputation did 700k but that was a front loaded album.

Taylor Swift is a lock. Lover is receiving mostly glowing reviews. The Guardian’s only complaint was that it was too long. Album is generating buzz, doing great in streaming, and is on track to have a huge debut (could even reach 1M.)

TF reinvented pop music? Madonna did the same thing with similar aesthetics dinosaur ages prior. I Love miss Gaga but let’s not act like she didn’t just rip Madonna’s style and flip it. Also vocals don’t determine your star status.

Lover is a GREAT album

Wait… That’s not an unpopular opinion.

9/10 of the songs on Lover made a top 10 jump in Spotify US. Album in it’s entirety hit 29M~ in streams today. Only 2M less than the top female debut. Likely sold 40-50k~ in streaming sales today. With 400k+ probably coming from physical and digital copies. Songs are still rising on Apple Music but 6 are in the top 10 right now. YNTCD and Lover…[Read more]

Not listening to leaks or reading early reviews but came here to say that Lover is officially the most pre-added pop Apple Music album of all time.

Taylor Swift’s “Lover” release in less than 24 hours. According to Republic CEO it has sold nearly 1 MILLION copies worldwide. This likely means that it has received 250-450k preorders in just the US alone. It’s not promising if she’ll debut in the 1M~ range but she’ll easily do over 750k. Taylor is yet again proving her album power

I doubt Billy is just gonna show up to announce a random award. I think he’ll present to Lil Nas X.

Taylor Swift has been selling circles around Gaga for quite some time. She’s a queen but her prime was only really between 2009-2011. Taylor has been on top of her game for over a decade. Taylor is on the level of Bey and Adele sales/impact wise.

Billy Ray Cyrus is for sure presenting Lil Nas X with something. My guess is on song of the year. With The U.S. National Women’s Soccer Team (Alex Morgan, Ali Krieger and Ashlyn Harris) giving ms Taylor Swift video of the year (they’re all good friends.)
