Why are you acting so dense? that other poster was too but you literally just changed your opinion 3 times wtf

Did you just learn the word dense? What does movie promotion have to do with charts? Did not change my opinion once.

There are dozens of users calling this a fraud.  I do think calling Willow/Cardigan a "fraud" is stupid as well, but just read this very thread and you'll see you're plain wrong. 

Well the big difference between this & Willow/cardigan, is that (ignoring Xmas) they actually were the #1 songs on both streaming and sales for the week… it hasn’t even been 7 days yet LMU is outside of the streaming top 30 already  

[OrgVisual]

Not a 4 points difference. Rihanna betta discount it to $0.39

Where is Elvira when you need her? I need Taylor to release the anti hero (superhero remix) so she can block this on lock. I want a multiweek no. 1 again 

Why would Taylor need to block Rihanna when she already has the #1? That would be petty as hell

That's besides the point, i was quoting that user because they said people would call this a "fraud" if it were a Taylor song as if users here weren't already calling it a fraud.

The hypocrisy from Rih stan and OTHs in this thread

I was told countless times that a #1 debut doesnt mean smash

It doesn't. It's just funny for stat purposes.

What 

It is. By far

 

Some songs by rappers pull more streams on AM, but really not a lot. Overall Spotify is still by far the biggest

 

Look at Anti-Hero last week

31.5M on Spotify, 12M on Youtube and only had 59M overall. With being #1 on Apple Music all week and doing well on Amazon Music

Ikr, now Rih pulls even worse fraudulent than BTS and Taylor. And when it gets blocked at #2 then what

apple music has more paid subscribers in the US and it’s streams are weighted more as well… you can have those ad-supported spotify streams though

Like... And they're still acting like the song isn't getting the same promotion treatment that a lead single usually gets

[PerfectSacrifice]

Streams for LMU are much better than I expected omg the gap is really close, haven’t seen this level of competition between MPG singles in a while

That's cool that they have more paid subscribers 

Spotify is still bigger. And it clearly seems like the average Spotify user streams more than the average Apple Music user.

And last I seen ~70% of Spotify streams were paid and that was some years ago. It should be higher now

[ninasayers]

Where are the discounts?!? 

[chiliam]

i mean as Swifties, i have no room to drag anyone after the MEth! fiasco.

But hopefully this also humble Ms. Fenty fans a bit.
