So the GP was like

 

"Oh Taylor released a new album? Lets buy the album now and lets focus on the lead single in......week 3!"

 

Makes total sense

 

You have lost sense, don't you

What are you talking about 

 

She released remixes this week. That arent on the album and are very different 

Exactly. She released these remixes in order to block Drake. Why didn't she release these remixes in week 2? Simple - she had no competition and was on lock to stay #1. Your fave used cheap tricks and her big fanbase in order to secure another week at #1. That's all we are trying to say in this thread. It was a VERY calculated move since she offered those remixes for a special price in a limited time. 

 

What's not clicking? How can you still defend this as something natural and bring up the 500k, 600k weeks Taylor had back in 2012 and 2013? So ******* laughable

Queen! Drake deserves to be blocked cause it seems everytime a woman is on top he wants to steal attention. I'm glad she got his ass.

If you lack comprehension skills just say that.

 

i didn’t bring up the 2010s because they’re relevant to today — I brought them up to establish a pattern. Taylor isn’t just randomly selling all these singles out of thin air now, I’m pointing out that she has an established fanbase that she has continued to nurture and she is reaping the rewards of that.

 

She’s the only artist who has maintained if not GROWN her popularity from the start of the 2010s to the start of the 2020s. No other pop star is SELLING albums, SELLING songs, DEMOLISHING streams, and GROSSING so high — ALL IN ONE.

 

There’s artists that excel at streams and tours but not sales, there’s artists that excel at sales and tours but not streams, but Taylor is one of a kind. She’s the whole package. And on a cumulative chart like the Hot 100, being well rounded is your best friend.
 

You can seethe and fume and deflect all you like but that’s the point I’m making and anyone with half a brain would understand. 

 

BTW — there is NOTHING pathetic about selling 300,000 singles in 2022 baby. Nothing at all. In fact that’s impressive as hell, and it should embarrass the rest of her peers that they can’t keep a strong enough bond with their fanbase that they would support their musical ventures for a decades long career. 

You’re doing amazing sweetie.gif, your posts are always top notch

You truly have lost it or have no reading comprehension, the sales figures were brought up to prove that her sales this week are possible without mass buying. Nobody was denying she released the remixes to secure another week at #1, but only y’all are fuming about ~desperation~

They’re not even a Drake fan, I truly can’t imagine devoting so much time to a person I hate, let alone when the situation doesn’t even involve a person I like 

[YellowRibbon]

That member is a pathetic loser... Imagine being pressed over someone else's DEMAND. 

 

OT: great numbers for Ms Swift!

ok…she wanted to block drake and stay at #1. so what now? why does it matter? she still sold 300k copies and that was enough to give her the #1. end of.

 

lil nas x was releasing remix after remix in order to stay at #1 for however many weeks and break mariah’s record/block several people and nobody said anything. move on.

Nobody would say a thing had she released one cute remix and sold like 70k copies like so many other artists did over the years to reach #1 or stay #1. But the fact that she released so many remixes, discounted them, an acoustic version AND all that for a limited time is way too much  she deserves to be dragged for this.

 

And no, I'm not a Drake fan, glad he is not getting another #1, thats not the topic here, its Taylor's cheap tricks in order to stay #1 and her stans justifying them by bringing up 2012/13 sales weeks she had which is beyond ridiculous

[Michael196]

The lie about Drake not caring when he discounted, moved the date, performed it multiple times while doing some shenanigans to create a bit of controversy... neither are saints and they did what they had to do and we love to see this kind of friendly competition without any vile social media callouts...

 

and let the losers keep on fuming... plus the lie about ‘every popstar’ doing 500-600k at the start of the 2010’s is a whole lie, some DID, but no one did it as many times and with as many singles as Tay

...you do realize you're admitting you apparently aren't mad because she went #1 using a remix, it's just the amount she was able to sell?  

So she's allowed to succeed, but just not too much? Why does it matter how many remixes she releases if you acknowledge she would go #1 with just one?

I'm not a Drake fan either, but I can admit that it feels so wrong that a song with 59M streams gets blocked from the #1 on the Hot 100, especially considering that not too long ago, we had a song with less than 15M streams every week that was #1 on the Hot 100 for weeks on end. Rich Flex had more streams last week than As It Was had in its final 4 weeks at #1 on the Hot 100 combined.

 

Billboard needs to close the midweek remix loophole to prevent something like this from happening again.

Well then Drake better plan his releases better. He choose to release while in Taylor weeks.
Is it wrong that Midnights get blocked on the Billboard 200 even by selling 300k while weeks ago that was just 50k? Same argument
