charts discussion thank u, next departs Billboard 200 for the 1st time

[Ribs]

Wait I'm genuinely shocked that this is her biggest and longest album that stayed in charts  

She is NOT a BB200 artist, that's for sure

Lover outlasting, time the ultimate truth teller 

 

Why do you even compare it to the Lover (#60s this week) when reputation is still charting 

OT: congrats ari!

[Mr. Duff]

The longevity of this album is kinda mediocre compared to other albums that performed worse than this in the beginning. I do think it aged badly already so it’s about time it declines, but for Ariana’s biggest era it’s such a disappointment.

Kinda weird, it survived Christmas season but somehow left the chart when BB200 isn't clogged that much.

 

Does Ariana whole discography receive boost because of Santa Tell Me during Christmas season? 

[GoodGuyGoneGhetto]

I don’t understand why this is surprising. 
 

The album had no official single post-release and was simply living on the recurrent streams of, primarily, “TU,N” and “7R”. Following this album, she released another which, for the most part, had no real promotion after its release also so if “Positions” ties or surpasses this then it’ll definitely be shocking. 
 

All in all, the fact that it’s managed to stay on the chart for three years is fantastic. 
 

 

I understand it’s the streaming era but not every hit album is going to be a BB200 mainstay just because of such. Swift is clearly an anomaly, and the U.S is her bread and butter, but it helps that she’s released two official studio albums since “Lover” + two re-releases. 
 

Why are her stans running in here to dispute its success?

Over it was released in 2019 and is still charting though. And it did have only 2 official singles.

 

OT: It could still re-enter. BB200 isn't like H100 when if you drop out you don't re-enter more.

With a song gaining traction on Tiktok or when Ariana releases something I see it spending at least 200 weeks but let's wait I guess.

Same year but a lot of difference in months, feb vs Oct, plus it has more tracks and Summer released an album very recently
And you’re right about the second part, it’ll prolly re enter within the next weeks if they’re weak and when she releases AG7

This is why you’re my favourite Navy on here 

 

OT: Refer to the post quoted above.

[Zaynsus]

Tbh, I'm amazed that it managed to stay on the chart for so long.

 

Now, if Positions ends up surpassing it in terms of weeks on chart... well, let's hope it won't happen. The fact that it stayed longer in the Top 10 than TUN still doesn't sit right with me.

[Kill Me]

Congrats.

This is pretty good...

Spoiler

For her standards.
