Why is it that when a rap song (which is the most consumed genre at the moment) or black artist goes #1, it’s always because of TikTok?

She’s not that big here... 

 

Her albums tend to do good numbers, but none of her singles would really be considered classics here. It makes sense she’s only got 1

IKR? TikTok is like the most organic thing  Like no one can pay to have a song viral on TikTok (Camila tried and failed)

You literally contradicted yourself back-to-back  

 

“She’s not that big here, but her albums (the most important metric) do good numbers”  (not to mention she’s performed multiple stadiums in the UK). Do you ever get tired of embarrassing yourself?

 

Anyway, I think Love Story will end up quite a bit lower. I just hope it can crack the top 10.

Girl I wasn’t shading. I was explaining why she’s not got many #1- which is a literal fact. 
 

I feel as though you’re acting ignorant on purpose, but in case you’re not, I’ll expand on my point and spell it out for you.
 

I said she’s not big enough in my country (the UK ) to have multiple #1 singles. That is a claim evidenced by hard facts. If it was not true, then she’s have more #1 songs.  
 

I then expanded on that to say where Taylor does do well is with albums - all since Red have shifted units. In spite of that, she’s not the kind of artist people here bop to either for current hits on the radio, or for her past “classics” (of which the closet to one she has here is probably Love Story or 22), so much so that no song of hers besides the much-hyped ‘Look What You Made Me Do’, has hit #1. This is further evidenced by the fact her albums continue to perform well regardless of whether there is a hit single attached (folklore did very well compared to lover and rep for example, arguably better). 
 

My point boils down to that Taylor is an albums artist in the UK. Her singles aren’t typically as big as the other MPGs here, hence not having as many number ones. This was only even bought up so I could explain to that user something they might not know, given it didn’t sound like they were from the UK. I don’t think that was hard to understand in my original comment, but in case it was, I hope you understand now.

She's way bigger than the girls with 5+ #1s in the UK...

Her early career was country and the uk gp was into electropop at that time...the fearless singles still did extremely well in the uk

During 1989/RED era, she shunned streaming which affected her a LOT.

She would have easily had 4 more #1 singles if she just put her songs up on ****ing spotify.

 

Taylor's biggest singles in the UK:

#1. LWYMMD (13 weeks)

#2. SIO (55 weeks)

#2. Love Story (44 weeks)

#2. IKYWT (40 weeks)

#3. Me! (15 weeks)

#3. Willow (9 weeks; still charting)

#4. BS (32 weeks)

#4. BB (16 weeks)

#4. WANEGBT (32 weeks)

#5. IDWLF (22 weeks)

#5. YNTCD (15 weeks)

No you lied and got clocked which is a consistent trend with you and Taylor.

 

Shake It Off didn't go #1 and yet made the decade end list over a bunch of #1s. And UK #1s during the digital era are mostly meaningless because of pre-order fraud while 1989 single peaks were hurt because of no Spotify.

 

Certified single units in the UK: 

 

Taylor Swift: 13,800,000

 

Lady Gaga: 13,200,000

Are the two different versions combined for chart points?  Or is it only the United Kingdoll version?
