Olivia Rodrigo - SOUR (May 21, 2021) • Page 14

funny how so many people overthink this

 

I've never felt more alive, guess we are built different

 

I've heard conflicting things about singles over the years. I'm not sure how they function for first-week sales nowadays!

 

keep posting, I love to hear when the young folks think, it's rad. genuinely.

 

the line is it mends broken hearts, jesus christ drew

 

475k, get real with this sub-300k coward shit

 

It’s true! The singles will count toward certifying the album as gold/platinum, but they have nothing to do with first week sales

 

Thank you so much! That means a lot to me :)

 

Good lord this album is a monster.

Could easily take Kong and Godzilla. Blindfolded.

 

Yeah we’re all jaded as hell, why do you think we’ve been discussing sales for three pages straight?

PS @Drew Beringer get your guess in.

 

500k

It’s a bummer the vinyl isn’t releasing till August 20th but I’ll pick up a compact disc tomorrow

 

315k.

I hardly know anything about charts and sales anymore. So, throwing a number in the dark.

 

Damn, I did not realize that! Has it always been that way for the streaming charts? I could have sworn “Hotline Bling” or some similar song had enough streams to get Drake to number one before the album even came out.

 

Jason picking a number that leaves him statistically unable to lose. Classic programmer.

 

Maybe it changed because of that haha

 

Fun fact, folklore came out the week it did because the Billboard rules were changing in two weeks and vinyl not shipped by the day of the record release were no longer going to count towards first week sales.

 

It could be you're thinking about it going platinum before coming out, but I am pretty certain this has been the way it's done for a while. Last change I remember was in 2018, where they changed some of the weighting: Billboard Finalizes Changes to How Streams Are Weighted for Billboard Hot 100 & Billboard 200.

I could be remembering everything wrong at this point though

 

“Traitor” was meant for the away message era.

 

so i should listen?

 

This album isn’t going to do anything in physical sales. 180k

 

Here we goooooo

 

The biggest damn smile on my face with this opener.
