You wish. They don’t need US #1s to sell tours and albums.

Not atrl thinking this will hurt Taylor. 

 

I think only willow would have been hurt by this rule change because the points were really close with Mariah that week and she did those willow elvira mix or whatever they were called that were sold on her website.

 

But she usually has high streaming so she will be fine obviously.

Taylor’s averages 50M+ streams for her new lead singles, so not really poor her, innit?

but they do need mass buying and streaming to go number one to chart and last time i checked, this thread is about how sales are counted, not tours. 

good luck to BTS, I wonder where their future singles will place without mass buying

I was responding to this putting an end to their career.
