So if an album does 70k-60k-50k-40k-30k, you would say it has more longevity than Positions or even bigger at this matter? Longevity doesn't mean so much when number are low. What matter in the end is total consumption. It is what it is.

What exactly is your problem lmao Well... this is not really a Billboard chart thread. The OP only posted a tweet saying Ariana staying at #1 for 2 weeks.

Even when she loses, she still wins! I totally agree Positions is much bigger than Rare, Manic and Chromatica in the US. I don't think she is losing but expectations were very high for no reason. 12 minutes ago, quitedangerous said: it's already 2 weeks at #1, which most female albums failed to achieve (except from Taylor), so I'd say that's enough longevity for today 10 minutes ago, Sept said: I remember ATRL said the exact same thing about Anti Will be very exciting to see if Positions can stay 33 weeks in the top10 or not then Edited November 16, 2020 by Artistofthedecade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A thread praising Ariana and her accomplishments and yall come out of nowhere with this bs. This couldn’t been posted in the folklore thread or Taylor base? But yet you came in a thread praising Ariana to post this? It honestly makes you look even more embarrassing and cringe. Consider yourself reported for not being on topic. Thank u next. TELL EM! Most of them are absolutely obnoxious & attention seeking. Please continue to drag them!

Also some swifties are so petty like wow Yall have been obsessed with Swifties this past month but had nothing to say about how Ariana fans acted for the last 2 years towards us. Insert saying about staying out of the kitchen if you can’t take the heat OT: Bad numbers for Positions but a #1 is a #1 so congrats! The top 3 is so weak in general tho, I’m shocked because usually it’s quite busy during Q4. Maybe the pandemic is having the opposite effect on sales this season but I still don’t get it Folklore returning to the top 10 during its 16th week, whew.

Projections got lower and lower. People were going in... Ariana stans blamed halloween and the election. T'was a mess. 2nd week sales are still low but the percentage is not as low consider the 1st week number was not as high. This was known all week. It seems the first few pages of this thread are dominated by ariana fans who crafted their shade all week using longevity during week 2 or not a flop blah blah blah expecting more taylor stans to be in here. As pages go on it's more of ariana stans posting this stuff and maybe 2-3 taylor stans, out of tons of post predominantly from ariana stans calling this era a success, enter the thread and now it's "since ya'll wanna be annoying"... The shade in the 1st week sales thread must have really touched for all of this. Kudos to Ariana and Taylor being in the top 10. I mean it's a non competitive week...i'm sure Christmas albums will begin to trickle on up in about 2-3 weeks. if there are hit songs on this album i'm sure it'll eventually reach 2x platinum when it's all said and done. It's interesting 34+35 is zooming up radio charts I guess the clean version is serving If u see amy vibes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Y'll trying to push that narrative but it's not true 2nd week folklore: 133k positions: 82k Chromatica: 65k Chilombo: 65k Manic: 56k Rare: 38k How is that low? And that's with the new chart rules. Even Billboard confirms that position's first week sales is impressive.

DiamondDust Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 (edited) Why can't people celebrate two women's successes without feeding into the tired narrative of pitting two successful women against one another? There are two solo women in a top ten that is comprised otherwise entirely of dudes and bands. I know that I have fed into this tired narrative myself by calling out in these divisive threads what I perceive to be serious shortcomings in Taylor's live vocal abilities and ... that was wrong of me. Ari and Taylor being at the top of their game is something to celebrate. Their respective successes are not mutually exclusive. As long as we only celebrate one woman's successes at the expense of another when there are meanwhile literal hundreds of interchangeable Lil Baby's and Luke Combs on the charts, we will never progress as a society.

Jude Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 The fight in here would not have happened if it wasn't for the petty insecure fan base that keep coming for Ariana even if she's clearly successful. But they want to convince the ppl she's flopping. Like what do they get from doing that? OT: 2nd week at #1 on BB, not everyone has that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
