‘Midnights’ by Taylor Swift is now challenging Britney Spears’ ‘Oops!… I Did It Again’ (1.31M) for second-biggest sales week for a female album in US history

[Style.]

Impressive. Which album do you like more? 

[blackingouthenegativity]

We still are. Britney was locked in a facility for four months against her will and a 13 year conservatorship yet somehow Taylor is still a bigger victim

[GlitterRain]

Britney will always be the Queen who broke that record first

This is literally a Britney fan site of course everyone like OIDIA more

If Taylor breaks the record good for her

[BSfan4Ever]

Oops 

[Greg_del]

Her fans buys this album like 4 times to break records. Britney and her fans weren’t desperate like that so, Britney wins

[G-unit]

Eh time to stop comparing new releases to OIDIA imo.  When streaming counts, it’s just not the same as having to actually drive to the store and buy a physical album…which Britney did over 1.3 million times…of which the vast majority were individual people, not duplicate copies being purchased.  I’d love to see the numbers of OIDIA if streaming existed and was popular back then.  She’d probably still hold the record tbh.

Don't forget to alert the Church Elders as this 'pop emergency' will certainly have a massive impact on our daily lives and the universe 

How will we ever recover from this apocalyptic event?

Taylor is my favorite artist right now, but the attitude that Britney had in Oops cant be topped. 

Also, Oops inspired Taylor and her entire generation of artists. Taylor mentioned and covered Lucky on different occasions.

Taylor is overrated. 🤷

I love her, but someone wake me up when she starts making bops again.  So tired of this boring, bland music.  3 albums in a row.  Yeah, lyrically the music is good…but not my taste tbh.

Oops is the better album even though I haven't heard Taylor's and don't plan to.

Taylor antics are so desperate tbh, she was promoting like 10 different versions and milking her fans. Oops sales happened organically!

Weren’t some people here trying to buy Hold Me Closer multiple times not too long ago?

I see a lot of people calling Taylor desperate for the way she promotes her music, but I’m pretty sure us Britney fans would love for Britney to do the same when she releases music. There wouldn’t be a second thought about it. Taylor makes her releases exciting for her fans. It just also happens to make her money. I don’t really think she has any reason to act out of desperation.

1) You cannot compare sales 22 years ago and now with streaming

2) Power of social media as promo tool with worldwide instant approach which was impossible in 2000

3) Even after 22 years the general public knows "Oops" as a song ... Hardly "Midnights" will have any hit with such longevity and approach to GP audience

4) The fact "Midnights" has 5 different CD and 5 different vinyl versions + online deluxe edition and many of her fan(atics) are buying them all is ridiculous
