A better comparison would be better would be reputation vs her debut and even then PTB is more “edgy” than anything on the other album  and at least half of the debut is on par or better than reputation. 
 

im struggling to think of Any rep song that touches Cold as You or Mary’s song

All main singles from 1989 are bigger than LWYMMD and Delicate (which was very local too). Even Style despite being the smallest of the 5 singles. 

 

LWYMMD is not even in her top 10 hot 100 hits  and RFI did HORRIBLY. It was a major flop period. End Game was a complete bomb, and so was NYD. Only Delicate and LWYMMD performed decently, but were no smashes by any means

 

They’re delusional 

LWYMMD was definitely bigger than Bad Song, especially internationally. Just take a look at their respective certifications and chart peaks. RFI outcharted every Folklore single and Cardigan and Exile still haven't caught up with its total streams across streaming platforms.

Keep saying it until it’s true. Almost five years later, and you’re still at the denial stage.

folklore for all, easily.

Reputation is in her bottom of her discography
