[305]

Wtf

#NotMyNumberOne

[B-Luke]

Jesus  I must say the remixes are really good and add quite a bit to the song so this is deserved

[itsjem]

That's crazy

In my opinion, the credibility of the Hot 100 is at stake. If Rich Flex isn’t #1 on the 11/19 chart, the Hot 100 is no longer a reputable chart. As I said earlier in the thread, the charts are broken if a song with less than 15M streams stays at #1 for weeks on end, while another song with 60M streams get blocked from #1 in the same quarter.

 

Let’s hope Billboard does the right thing and filter out some of those Anti-Hero sales, like they did with Lift Me Up the previous week.

You’re entitled to your opinion of course, I just want to add that if you’re referring to Anti-Hero being a multi week #1 with 15M streams, the predictions I’ve seen has it over 30M in streams. People comment the charts are not reputable basically every week, whenever it’s not the outcome they want. The top songs often have remix’s, discounts, additional videos uploaded, social media posts, banners on streaming & sales sites, etc… it’s all part of the music game. Drake could have played the game too and done one of the previous methods i mentioned.

Swifties scare me truly  the way they showed up to buy the remixes

He did play the game. He discounted his song on release week.

Lmao  

 

We haven’t had a proper lead single to SUPPORT since ME! (Which was bad) but Taylor is reminding y’all we used to go HARD for her with these digital single sales.

 

Like, if you’re sitting here accusing AH of bulk sales, wait til you find out WANEGBT, Trouble, and Shake It Off all did 500-600K+ each in a week  

 

LWYMMD did 353,000 in SALES.

Even ME! did 193K in SALES.

 

Taylor is obviously more than capable of moving hundreds of thousands of units in sales, y’all just forget because her past few albums have been dropped all at once with no lead single released before the album for us to purchase first — we’ve been just buying albums upon release, not having to buy the individual tracks like before.

Like yes she dropped a bunch of remixes but honestly who else could pull off these numbers, especially when someone uploads them on yt for free mins after they go on sale  Pretty much only BTS could do this besides taylor

He may have tried that tactic along with social media posts too, but regarding the discount it wasn’t the most useful seeing as sales are dead. Especially using a sales tactic against Taylor who did multiple, and her fans love the aspect of buying and owning her music. Drake didn’t even drop a music video, he could have done a lyric video, or a visualizer video. His fan base is heavy streaming, if he wanted to play the game he should have pulled something to push his streams like a remix or a video of some sort. A remix would have pushed sales more than a discount even, especially if he released it only for sale for a day or 2 before adding to streaming services.

After his Megan diss Drake can choke for all I care.

Spill  Embarrassing that his grown ass came for Meg. And for Tory Lanez of all the hobbits in the world. SMH

I know I’ve said this before but I hope the other pop girls take note of Taylor. If you put a lot of effort in promoting and release music that is pop perfection, it truly pays off. This is how the girls used to do it in the 2000’s and early 2010’s. Taylor and Katy were canceled around the same time, Nicki was cancelled, Rihanna stopped releasing music around that time, Kesha had her lawsuit, Britney was still under her conservatorship, Beyonce stopped following traditional music release ways, P!nk and Kelly also weren’t giving much promo as in the past either… and the list goes on with the top pop girls in the early 2010’s. And since all that was happening there was no mold on how to promote. I think a lot has to do with how much technology has changed too and figuring out how to change promoting along with it.

 

With that all said, Taylor deserves this moment in music history. She’s put in the time and continues to produce bangers with genius lyrics, and most importantly she’s bringing pop back to the top of music once again

Not Taylor resurrecting digital sales  

[Brando]

So she sold more than any BTS song during any of their funneled funds weeks?

She can just keep doing this for any of the future Midnights singles

Based on those Taylor sales even if they had dropped the video it would have been useless

 

It's better for them to save the video for next week. Taylor won't do 200k sales every week, unless she keeps releasing new remixes

How do you know the video wouldn’t have gone viral like Hotline or IMF? If the expectation is to save it for next week then the video might not be a bit bland.

  this has to be a ******* joke by now, guys please tell me you are not being serious with these posts. Are you REALLY bringing up the early 2010s when LITERALLY every popstar out there was having 400k+ weeks and comparing that period to 2022 in order to justify your fave being beyond pathetic with so many remixes that she DISCOUNTED aswell in order to stay #1?    

 

The way you guys are gloating about these tricks she's doing and preaching about it being so impressive   I-

Unfortunately, that doesn't change the fact that both used other components to overtake massive streaming difference. If selling digital songs is a trick, so is radio spamming. 

"radio spamming" when the song had EXCELLENT callout scores. The GP wanted to hear that song on the radio, meanwhile Taylor's STANS are buying these remixes in order to keep her at #1, that's the MAJOR difference

[Flanders]

Still haven’t heard this song but she is doing gods work by keeping Drake from #1. Thank you savior!

You're making up excuses for every artist but still proceed to be pressed about only Taylor.

Also maybe y'all should read up on how almost everyone in the us has an online addiction so "ThE Gp!!" thing is so stupid

Making up excuses? Gurl what?! Its a FACT that the song had great callout scores so ofc radio kept playing it, while Adele didnt give a **** about the song's chart performance, unlike Taylor who pulled all the stops to keep it at #1  

 

The way there is now more of you thinking these chart runs are the same or similiar
