I plan to start updating the first two posts (singles and album chart runs / sales) over the next few weeks. Watch this space!

 

Hey hey, so I've edited and added to the album section of the thread, using all the info I can find. If anyone has anymore up-to-date sales info for the first three albums then please let me know :-) I'll do the singles section over the next couple of days.

Hi all,

 

I have up-dated this thread with all the information I could find. If you do have any further sales info then please let me know. In a couple of weeks, I'll have a go at the US version! Enjoy :)

Red era sales updated (album and singles).

 

Not included on the first page:

Sales of All Too Well = 145k

Updated sales for her biggest collaborations:

Everything Has Changed: 771,000

Bad Blood: 756,000

I Don't Wanna Live Forever: 1,020,000

ME!: 712,000

So when all is said and done, all Taylor albums between Fearless and Evermore will end up as platinum or higher, with Fearless + albums between Red and Folklore all ending up with multi platinum certifications eventually. Not bad, especially for this climate and considering the fact that at one point her debut album sold 38 copies in its first week.

Yup I’d say this is not bad at all. Crazy to think her debut album sold 38 copies in its first week?!

 

Thanks for the updated sales info. I’ll update the front page with it :)

Thank you for the updates!

I did estimations for her future album certifications this decade based on the gains her catalogue made between August 2019 & April 2021 (between November 2014 & August 2019 for Speak Now!) and according to them:

1- Lover will go platinum in the next two weeks

2- Folklore will go platinum in April 2022

3- 1989 will go 5x platinum in late 2023

4- Speak Now will go platinum in early 2024

5- Evermore will go platinum in mid-2024

6- Red will go 3x platinum in early 2025

7- Reputation will go 2x platinum in mid-2025

8- Lover will go 2x platinum in early 2026

9- Folklore will go 2x platinum in late 2026

10- 1989 will go 6x platinum in early 2027

I took into the account any drops that may occur as the re-recordings begin to cannibalize the original albums' sales, but not any market changes. With pure sales for catalog albums rising, and Taylor being a great catalog seller, it is possible that these albums reach new milestones earlier than I predicted.

Thank you for those!

Lover is now certified platinum by the BPI! It's Taylor's fifth album to achieve this milestone. Crazy to think it's just platinum after the excellent chart run it has had.

Awesome news - we like to see this :heart:

 

Folklore next please

It really is crazy how much streaming has impacted the ability to reach certification thresholds. Getting a certified single is now pretty easy and many do it without even reaching the top 100 at all. But getting a certified album, never mind platinum, is now much more difficult than it used to be. I'd really love for Evermore to reach it!

Me too. I love Evermore and it will reach platinum eventually - I just think it’s going to take much longer because it wasn’t given the same push and single hype as the previous albums.

Chart runs added in. If anyone has any updated uk sales info, please let me know and I’ll edit in. Thank you !
