How do streams count towards albums vs individual songs?

Sadly no physical edition of that double album, it there was... the numbers were something else, especially in the US.

 

Ah I see, although I would like to think she probably will do a physical release at some point if it’s not in the week. Either way it’s going to have phenomenal sales and personally I’m more interested in her US figures as I think they will just be utterly insane (not that it won’t be very impressive UK wise).

Amongst the usual fawning, it's getting some stinkingly Mixed to BAD reviews:

 

From NME: Arriving at the peak of her imperial phase, Swift’s 11th studio album is surprisingly flat and, at times, cringeworthy. A rare mistep.

 

The Standard: Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department album review: underwhelming and clunky

 

So whilst I think it'll do big numbers initially, the backlash has truly begun, and the wheels may just start falling off this pop juggernaut. Being vicious about numerous exes may just have run it's course. We'll see. I think it'll do 110, 000 in the UK first week then drop.

 

Everybody at the top has haters it’s normal, I don’t think it’s even close to being at a stage where the negative outweighs the positive

She won’t face any backlash, but those reviews are right for me. Surprised a critic even dared to say it. A rather bland album and 31 songs of it. No variety at all.

I was more referring to ‘run its course’ line. The album itself yeah it’s good to see more than just fawning reviews. Often they pick a Taylor fan to review the album and of course it’s a biased puff piece for supposedly credible outlet. I’ve tried to gage opinions and it’s mixed but 70-80% positive

Not giving a 5 star review doesn’t make someone a hater.

This and it's been thr same since the turgid Evermore and Folklore, which felt like astroturf pop versions of indie albums.

Fair enough if you dislike her/the album (I'm a long term stan and admittedly its not my favourite) but please :rolleyes:
