Never been an issue for them before, so I wouldn’t worry! 

But never met this level, and probably no one could. Truly a once a lifetime payola experience

Willow on US Spotify debut week

(#1-#1-#1-#1-#1-#1-#3)
LMU

(#4-#17-#20-#30-#26-#31-?)

So now these two songs have the same performance on streaming and you're a "swiftiy"? WOW WOW WOW. And I 'm a swiftie, you can check my previous post. Can't believe a swiftie is busy dragging Taylor when Rihanna is stealing her #1, whatever, at least Willow was succesfully being #1, can't say the same to LMU

Post final streams henni

[itsjem]

Not 50 people in here  also the wakanda scam I'm actually rolling IRL 

 

Anyways!!

I think we can all agree that both Willow's and LMU's fight for #1 is shameless, can't we? Let's not defend Rih on this just because it's Rih, it was shameless from both Taylor and Rih, and it's just funny that she's doing it after everybody - including many swifties - dragged Taylor for it

 

I will say tho that at least Taylor gave actually different remixes and not just covers but that's for another time.

Final streams still bigger than LMU, and it neither has radio payola and nor on the TTH #1. I don’t even mention Willow is released in Christmas season so it had so many competitors in streaming . So basically much less payola/ better performance, I don’t want to repeat this again henni

 

Once again, if Willow had this level of radio payola, it could reach #1 easily without all those remixes ****, and right now LMU has all types of payola but still need these videos/digital single things, if I was you I would never mention Willow, literally nonsense

Both solo top five hits which is very difficult to get not everyone (your fave Camila Cabello) has that to their credit

 

 

 

 

Ok spill! The flop artists fans are really tryin to hide either behind tay or rih. Sad!

Both are almost 20 years in and fighting for a #1. Honestly it's cool seeing women break all these records. Seeing Drake being beat by rih on the 100 and Taylor on the 200 wouldve been funny as hell

Well said!

They're both 20 years in almost. It's hard enough for women as is. At this point the forum should just chill with the exaggerated threads, both women did it but they had to do it for a reason: men are always put ahead 

[Bloodflowers.]

People's Queen of Hits Rihanna better release some remixes and discount her discounts to secure her #1 #GottaDoWhatchuGotta #BelieveIt #TheMottoAvaMax

This is a mess. Horrible streaming performance, payola, fraudulent sales, and whatever else people want to claim. This song is still better than anything in Taylor’s one-note discography. Her throat would explode trying to sing something like this without her engineers overproducing her vocals to hell and even then she’d still sound like SH*T.

Those stan glasses are superglued to your face huh

Wakandan Lyric Video  

I try to be understanding, no matter how big you are hitting #1, especially after a break this long, is great. But this is just a little try hard.

[Da Vinci]

All I see is double standards getting called out So it's "smart and fine" if Rihanna does it but not other artists? Interesting

right. the navy talking about “swifties shouldn’t be talking” etc etc but what they don’t realize is swifties should be the main ones talking. i mean, the navy was dragging willow’s first week up and down and acting like rihanna was above it all and now she’s pulling even worse tricks to compete with a taylor song of all things…you can’t make this up.

[FOCK]

Yes, I’m sure the billionaire mogul is really concerned and invested in the potential pennies she’d make from the streams of a soundtrack. 
 

This is a standard affair for notable releases now, and likely contractual. People are doing their jobs & y’all are doing the most. She would’ve been paid handsomely for recording the track & having her name associated with the film, regardless. 

[hungrymuffin]

all these swifties just popped out of nowhere and around midnights release is so suspicious some of them dont even look like they stan the music but just success especially that user with swiftie in the username but has been leaving so many problematic comments

 

OT: dont mind if artists are trying hard to get the #1 but at least be more creative with the outputs and release something that people actually want to buy the cheap remixes and alternate covers

"Wakanda scam is this" I'm dead

[fridayteenage]

"it's not a lead single so has lower expectations" with obliterative radio play and on demand playlisting

[Never Ending]

Now... I love Taylor and her music but goddamn her fans are absolutely one of the most annoying fanbases on earth. Suddenly when it's not your fave that posts different covers/versions of a single, it's "payola!!!111". Give me a ******* break.  It was Adele at first, now it's Rihanna? Which woman are you going to tear down next just because she's competing your fAvE for that #1 spot on that silly little chart?

 

But anyway, I'm loving how gorgeous she looks in those covers. Hope we can get this promo with her upcoming album/era though!

[Theshigo Washidu]

Tbh, Rihanna is the last person I would've thought would be playing these desperate chart games . All for a bland song.

This is very embarrassing for Rihanna. Going from being a huge hitmaker in the 00's and 10's to basically buying #1's in 2022.

[alfonso12]

The desperation.  

[Taylucifer]

she’s so desperate eww
