this is so unnecessary and beneath her  the song is going back to #1 next week 

anyway it's kind of hilarious that swifities were dragging rihanna thru the mud last week only for their fave to pull the same stunts

Yeah i remember they clearly said the #1 song should be the most streamed song of the week...

Let's not compare apples with oranges. Sales = an actual consumption metric. Rihanna's song was a challenger for #1 solely due to an unprecedented radio deal while no one actually cared or consumed the song. Meanwhile Anti-Hero is still breaking streaming records and is gaining chart points due to fans buying the actual song, not behind-the-scene label deals.

The most consumed. Sales is also a consumption metric, unlike radio spins. 

This is just... sad. She can do better than this.

LMU was #2 on streaming last week while Anti-Hero will be on the lower top 10. Also AH has 60m on radio which is crucial to close the 20m+ streams gap Rich Flex has over it

c'mon sis your fave is smashing like crazy can't y'all just admit for once she's doing too much. The Music Industry should be too big for this kind of gimmick

Releasing remixes is a fraudulent tactic?

In my opinion it is a fraudulent tactic when it is with the sole purpose to manipulate the charts for you own benefit. Enjoy the remixes though. I’m sure there are more to come

"Fall for her fraudulent tactics" ma'am they're sixty nine cents, you can buy every version of the song combined for the price of Starbucks latte, I think we can handle our wallets at that level of investment

Releasing remixes has been done since the beginning of the industry but go off. 

 

Hope you kept the same "fraudulent tactic" energy for your fav when she released an album that wasn't even mostly recorded by herself, or when these remixes were dropped (mind you, 5 remixes is not uncommon as illustrated below).

Releasing remixes for a limited amount of time like its a piece of merch is kinda fraudulent. She's basically forcing her fans to buy it before midnight tonight or else.

At this point we all know they'll be on streaming services after the week is over like the willow ones, and even the Bleachers remix.

This thread still being open

It shows lack of critical thinking and intelligence when someone points something done in a period of time when a person had no control over her personal or professional aspects of her life.

 

Capitalistic Queen and David O. Russell supporter Taylor is in charge of all the desperate and fraudulent attempts and decisions of her life, including the $0.69 remixes.

The remixes EPs do go back to the absolute very start of her career, don't.

Queen of being a business woman and in charge of becoming the biggest artist of the century by that logic.

Um… yeah. Exactly. Calling six and a half dollars an “investment” was sarcasm.  Let me reword: Nobody is “falling for fraudulent tactics” by willingly paying a few bucks for some remixes.

Remixes for fun not to manipulate a chart. Huge difference.

 

You can call her Queen if whatever but won’t change the fact that she is cheapening her music and looks pathetically desperate with all those $0.69 remixes.

There’s no manipulation going on when we literally all know this is for a chart spot, and I don’t think any Swifties are gonna have to pass on their gum pack for the week because of this. Thanks though!
