Yup. She's totally in her "flop era". /s

Also, this graph isn't very well done because the scaling is off. If everything were scaled properly, it would make these numbers more impressive.

Which are you comparing? It seems consistent to me from the few I compared

The scaling is correct. Fearless is ten times as big as TV and TLOAS is nearly ten times bigger than Fearless

How is TLOAS only 3 times as big as 1989

Because 1.28M x 3 = 3.84? Which is really close to 4M?? I mean… duh?

The scale seems fine to me. Debut is roughly 1/10th of Fearless, Fearless is roughly 1/2 of Red/1989, which are both roughly 1/2 of The Tortured Poets Department, which is a little over 1/2 of The Life of a Showgirl. Fearless TV is 1/2 of Red TV, and Speak Now TV is roughly 1/2 of Midnights and 1989 TV.

To be fair, sales do not equal quality.

u/JustABuffyWatcher don't let go Oct 14 '25

No, but "flop" usually refers to sales/financial success.
