This isn't even remotely true.  Also, BMS was pulled from radio and plummeted because you one of three charting metrics was removed... The random Beyoncé trolling is a choice.

Without or with DC Gaga not seeing her period 

And Beyonce wont ever have an album as big as TFM or a song as big as Shallow in the streaming era

And Madonna doesn't have an album as big as The Bodyguard and she's still bigger than Whitney.

And Madonna doesn't have an album as big as 21 and she's still bigger than Adele.

And Madonna doesn't have an album as big as Let's Talk About Love or Falling Into You and she's still bigger than Céline.

And Madonna doesn't have an album as big as Jagged Little Pills and she's still bigger than Alanis Morissette.

And Madonna doesn't have a song as big as My Heart Will Go On and she's still bigger than Céline.

And Madonna doesn't have a song as big as I Will Always Love You or I Wanna Dance With Somebody and she's still bigger than Whitney.

 

And there are still many other examples like that. That is called peak vs longevity. Longevity always wins. Beyoncé has longevity.

An incredible, genuine hit at #1  Congratulations to Taylor 

[Taylucifer]

glad to see Rihanna defeated 

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

The real #1 won

It's me! Hi! The non-fraudulent #1! It's me!

Rihanna having her Loverboy moment 

I wanted “LMU” to be her “TGIFY” - a cute 15th #1 that her fans won’t care about a few years later - before we get her “We Belong Together”. 
 

Oh well, maybe she’ll defy it with the R9 singles.

 

 

OT: Thriller.

Midnight Rain better stay in the top 10. 

 

Snow on The Beach predicted to freefall. It's 100% Lana's fault. Taylor's power could only do so much. 

How is it "Lana's fault"? Y'all just be saying the most senseless **** I swear. The song is just too slow compared to the rest of the tracks

Thank god I found you had poor airplay though. It went #1 thanks only to repressed sales

Peaks don’t last. Your fave is a great example of that..

Too bad Renaissance is still top 10. 

Which Gaga album managed to last so long in the charts? The Fame?

 

I see why you're seething

Rooting for:

 

- SZA to sneak into the top 10 (and producer legend Rodney Jerkins to get his first Top 10 Hot 100 hit of the new decade)

- Cuff It & Die For You (chart icons)

- Golden Hour & I'm Ready (To Be Loved)  (relative chart newbies - "Special" for 3rd single!)

- Made You Look (the payola witch Carmina Portobello has been vanquished and the sun is coming out again at Epic Records. Hope this bodes well for Zara Larsson & Madison Beer)

- I would love to see "Break My Soul" come back in late November for a week when the dust settles from these album bombs. 

Rooting for Sza but for BMS the xmas songs might begin to takeover in late November.

Would this be Thriller’s highest peak since its proper singles run in 83-84?

It would need to beat out the #19 peak from last year. It looks like it could go either way. Two predictors have it at #18, while the other two have it at #23 and #24.

SCREAMING at every prediction having different sales, streams and airplay for the top two.

[PoisonPill]

Taylor getting organic smash hits once again  Will probably end up her biggest single since LWYMMD or maybe even Blank Space

[Ger]

Why is Billboard taking too long to even post the BB200 article, is it a federal day today?

[Feanor]

Billboard being delayed hmmm…

[Green]

Are they counting something that we don't know? 

[Konril]

Where's the article? Are they pulling a Levitating?

Thank you. I didn’t know it got that high last year.
