I know this and I agree, I use a lot of urban music (SM included) so it’s not my case. My point is that Ariana fans aren’t pressed @ Travis or rap music in general, just at the ways he used to go #1

But my point is, you guys (now I’m referring to Ariana fans specifically) don’t call her out for the same things. She kinda alluded to that in her tweet imo

I've yet to hear TUN at an event/party that's for sure. It's still growing still.

People stream it in secret because pop girls are uncool

Yeah radio is finally letting go of songs like Youngblood, Better Now, and Girls Like You, but AIWFCIY and Wake Up In The Sky are passing it next week I’m sure.  Let me still hold out hope as long as radio doesn’t start dropping it though.

[Armani?]

Travis is annoying

 

But his marketing is on point.

Imagine how rap fans felt before streaming came into play. All those undeserved number 1’s thanks to pop radios large reach, things are finally becoming fair and you guys are losing it

Girl what? Rap was dominated most of the 90s and mid 00s

[KingB®]

Sicko Mode deserved a week at #1. Seethe

Just because you haven’t heard in your local small town doesn’t mean anything. Replies like this are so corny

[UNNAMI]

ari will get fifth week on 12/10
sixth on 12/17
24/17 will be her seventh or mariah
31/17 will be her 7th or 8th

 

then we go to january and when no one will release anything she may get another 4 weeks

 

so she may get 10 or more weeks at 1

 

of course anything can happen, but you know, christmas and christmas freeze and january stagnation is on her favor

As I replied earlier, one song was released this month and the other 3 months ago. I would hope the song released in Nov would be higher than the one released in August  

Then how are things fair now if the song dominating all online platforms is #2?

 

You’re not making any sense. The age of the songs have nothing to do with what you initially said

Wouldn't be so sure, she is definetely gonna have a big drop next week, we'll see if she does better than she was doing initially without the music video when the hype was dying.

I wasn’t aware of rap dominating pop radio in the 90’s and mid 00’s tell me more..

No, you jumped into an exchange without getting context. I said, “things are finally becoming fair” after an Ariana fan admitted SM’s popularity is worthy of a number 1 yet still feels her number one was taken from her using questionable tactics. I rebutted with the comment about pop radios large reach and radio deals being questionable tactics not available to rap artists.

yes but he will dethrone her? travis and happier song will stay at the same level because christmas freeze, radios will play more xmas songs, and travis and happier won't have room to grow, ari has streams on her side

Y'all forgetting how Ari uploaded a trailer and 2 bts videos with the song looped. Travis isn't the only one trying to game the system. 

 

Congrats to both. Travis got his week and Ari will dominate next week PERIOD

It's not comparable though. Ariana adding TUN to videos that are actually promoting TUN isn't gaming the system. Travis adding SM onto 2 Kylie videos (That had nothing to do with the song) he knew would get a lot of views is, but no one was talking about that anyway. The real issue is with the bundle deal.

A much deserved #1. That other song is a bit of a non event to everyone other than teen white girls/gays. Glad the more popular song is at the top spot this week.

Imagine being this pressed, you'd literally DRAG any pop girl if they did what Travis did this week. Not saying I don't understand why he'd do that but stop the hypocrisy.

Exactly.  Ari is just as guilty st cheap tactics to try and be #1 this week. 

What does a makeup tutorial have to do with Sicko Mode? On the other hand, if people were interested in the trailer for her upcoming video they might as well listen to the song that plays when it ends.

Halsey is going to get the Christmas sales boost, so things could get interesting.
