Eating breakfast and get a text from my work senpai.
Something with the stuff from last night wasn't right.
Work on it for 20 minutes. Drive to work and finish it. Call and talk to him. Send him a different set since I was told something else. I figured we were just doing an ordering thing.
1989 is already the biggest album in over a decade.
This doesn't seem to be true. The Fame sold 15,000,000 worldwide. 1989 has no worldwide figures on wiki that I can find but they comments on commercial success put it nowhere that.
Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere is one of my favourite names for propaganda concepts ever
it's so gloriously cumbersome
The runner up has to be Democratic Peoples Republic of [Anywhere]
It's one of those truisms of political naming conventions; the more allusions to freedom and prosperity within the title, more fascistic the ideology.
the united kingdom works in the same manner
Really? What in the "United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland" implies freedom and prosperity? "United"? Well what about the USA in that case?
I probably have heard Taylor Swift but I don't like pop music. Wasn't a fan really since third grade. And Katy Perry is permanently tied in my head to whip cream shooting bras.

Pretty sure they're talking about the "united" part.
(i.e. not united at all with fractional countries hanging together, as opposed to the suggested unity that few other countries mention)

Maybe, but Unity as a concept does not really overlap in my mental Venn Diagram with freedom and prosperity. Maybe if it was peace.

Though damn. Taylor swifts record sales are kind of insane. Completely dwarfs katy perry
See. In 10 years, Katy Perry will be that person you remember some songs by. Tay Sway will still be an institution. Beyonce is probably the right comparison.

And Adele annihilates that with 30,000,000 sales for 21.
It was 2014's best selling album despite being released October 27th, and had the biggest opening week in over a decade. That's probably what SKFM is referencing. But in terms of overall sales it's tough to compare, not knowing how digital sales are being counted, etc

1989 is much newer than those albums. I wonder how it is trending vs them. It definitely had the bigger release.

oh fuck things have been taken seriously
what do i do
Start a proxy civil war in a neighbouring country to distract the population and crush internal dissent.
Hmm, just off the phone with my Mum: Her eldest Brother was diagnosed with suspected angina around Christmas, and went in for a dye test yesterday to confirm it. Upon which he was immediately referred to hospital in need of bypass surgery.
Intellectually it's probably good they found this out on this side of a heart attack (i.e. he hasn't had one), but it's still worrying that he needs such surgery and will be hospitalised for a month.
Also we're kinda surprised. My mother's family has had fairly good cardiac health unless the individual was a heavy smoker.

Taylor Swift seems to more successful in selling records than Katy Perry but not as good as Lady Gaga or Beyonce. And no-one is as good as Adele.
Hmm
The fame has sold 4.5 mil US since release 5 or 6 years ago, 1989 broke 4 mil in 12 weeks
I can't find worldwide swift numbers yet. I would imagine gaga and especially Adele had better sales overseas than t swizzle but swift is looking like an all-timer when it comes to US sales

Her choice to completely back out of spotify means that some percentage of the millions of people who get their music fix that way may have broken down and purchased her album off of iTunes/Google Play/Amazon instead.
Also, further info from wikipedia
The album was a commercial success, debuting at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and selling 1,287,000 copies. In doing so, the album had the highest sales week since 2002, and made Swift the first artist to have three albums sell one million or more copies in a week. 1989 eventually became 2014's best-selling album and in the week beginning January 18, 2015, the four millionth U.S. sale of the album was registered.
She sold 4 million copies to people in the USA in less than 4 months, and did something apparently no artist - not the Beatles, not The Stones, not Madonna, not Beyonce, not Gaga - has been able to do.
It's kind of nuts. The girl is 24? 25? And at least from all accounts has a pretty decent head on her shoulders and hasn't succumbed to the booze/drugs/rehab cycle many megastars end up in. Whole lotta career ahead of her at this rate.

Ok 1989 just crossed 6 million worldwide in roughly 14 weeks
I dunno how much sales fall off as time goes by but I'd say it's got a pretty great chance of beating The Fame's 15 mil. Adele.......don't know

she used to be
then she realized once you go all-in to that crowd, you can't really ever come back.
I mean he's talking about success though. Record sales are a totally legitimate measure of success

It was released as a single over a year after the first single from the album was. That seems...not right

Worst ever I say.
As someone who listens to a bit of country, no.
She was not country. She was always stupid, derivative, targeted pop with a little bit of slide guitar.
She sucks, is the point I'm trying to get across here.

having the top selling album in the US in two consecutive years with the same album is super impressive
it's like we're kanye!
I can't really see it beating Adele's 21, though. 30 million sales is insane. Or The Fame, actually.

man rescue dog!!!!!!!!!!!!
Norah Jones? Creed? Nelly?
The fuck, America?
wut
Adele's album is a monster. It has one of those "perfect storm" cross-audience, records I doubt we will see beaten for a very long time.
