June 29, 20231 yr 61-70k but it wouldn't surprise me if it does 100k+. I have a feeling it may do 1 million+ in the US alone which is going to be crazy! Taylor's at the peak of her career (which is amazing considering the massive success she has had previously) and the buzz around her with the eras tour is just immense!
June 29, 20231 yr Red is her best album, qhich is why it did so well. The rest won't do those numbers. I went for the second option.Amongst Swifties Speak Now and folklore are considered her best. The casuals prefer 1989 & Red. I will guess 1989 will be the next one to get a Q4 release and depending on the variants and roll out etc… I can see that being her biggest Taylor’s version debut. Reputation will be more popular than people think too. That one seems to have a bit of a cult-like following.

June 29, 20231 yr I can see streams being huge but all the physical formats are extortionate. Maybe she should've released a cheaper abridged vinyl of the album like what Christine and The Queens did with his a few weeks ago.
June 29, 20231 yr The release week ties into the same week as pre-sales for her Eras tour get released, right? I think that will help massively and also, I don't think pricing is going to be an issue when this is a fanbase that bought literally one of each variant of 'Midnights' on CD AND vinyl just to complete a clock... :lol: (The only difference being this will be cheaper because they won't be spending so much when there's only one version of the album to buy on CD (3 I think on vinyl - still less than 'Midnights' - but more tracks!) etc..)
June 29, 20231 yr I absolutely think this will do better than RED TV. Voting for 91-100K but I wouldn't be surprised if she cracks 100K... and hopefully this isn't just wishful thinking! Edited June 29, 20231 yr by GraceAJX
July 4, 20231 yr Yeah I’m surprised at just how many people have predicted she can do over 100k (outside of Q4). I just can’t see it getting close, even if she is the biggest female popstar in the world rn. I don’t think any of her “Taylor’s Versions” will hit 100k and think 1989 could depending on whether it’s a Q4 release or not. If it was a new album, I’d be more inclined! We’ll see this coming week though ofc. I would LOVE to see this album get 100k opening!
July 4, 20231 yr In a sense this might do better than we think UK wise because it performed quite modestly the first time around here. Fearless and Red both did really well over here the first time around but Speak Now might have the advantage here that it wasn’t necessarily a mega seller here in the UK the first time around. She’s absolutely not one to be underestimated though!
July 4, 20231 yr I find it hard to call how this will do but Enchanted going viral not that long ago and the upcoming Eras Tour tickets going on sale very soon definitely won't hurt its chances!

She’s absolutely not one to be underestimated though! This logic doesn't really pan out though - 'Red' was much bigger than 'Fearless' both with the original release and the Taylor's Version.
July 4, 20231 yr The only logic I can see is that 'Speak Now' is widely regarded as her best album by her die hards, since the album was released back in 2010 and now with Taylor at a peak popularity wise, it's got some interest from those who weren't all too familiar with that album and has people wondering what the hype is about/waiting for "Taylor's Version" before they gave it a chance etc.. (I legit know someone who feels very similar to this too - so it isn't just online talk)
July 6, 20231 yr I went for 80-90k but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s around the 100k tbh, she’s so huge at the moment and gained new fans so I can see there being a lot of casual interest. Additionally I’d like to bet enchanted is pushed as single which wouldn’t take much to be top three, that or cruel summer will jump up next week.
July 6, 20231 yr This logic doesn't really pan out though - 'Red' was much bigger than 'Fearless' both with the original release and the Taylor's Version. Red is easily her best and the fan favourite. The rest won't come close to it.
