she actually did +15,167,905 on the counter so the "discount" was basically 3.5M. 

also the higher the numbers the bigger the discount seems to be generally

 

BTS had almost a 5M discount in comparison despite debuting with "only" 12.6M

Then why Billie and Taylor for example got less than 1M discount? Or maybe the discount is not because of mass streaming as people thought it to be?

it has something to do with free streams and paid streams, but I totally forgot what exactly!

Didnt that happen only with their album releases? "Discounts" barely happen for them.

 

I'm pretty sure it has to do with mass strraming.

I think it has to do with people replaying the sings and Spotify ''discounting'' (do NOT ask me why tho ) those streams from the official chart. Since Olivia only has like 2 songs she's gonna get many filtered streams since most listeners are replaying the songs. I can't verify any of this tho so take it with a grain of salt.

Welp that would be true for me. I keep replaying DL and All I Want. Don’t really care for the stuff she didn’t write especially when other people start singing.

this must show my age because aside from stan twitter... I've heard 0 people talk about her or seent he song anywhere. This is beyond bizarre. Not even people posting it on Social media stories...

 

Most of my friends are mid twenties though

It's literally decimating records in every country. It's insane!  We're so old. But I love the song tbh, so I'm not mad.

same i was so surprised to see she exploded out of nowhere so i was curious and asked my friends and no one knew the song or even her existed but apparently the reality is the opposite of my social circle
