Someone's asking the real questions here... 

 

That piece of corporate mediocrity only stuck around for 15 weeks because radio wasn't willing to give "Running Up That Hill", "Me Porto Bonito"/"Tití Me Preguntó", and "Bad Habit" the radio force to match with their stronger streaming presence... probably because they weren't the types of songs the industry likes to promote. 

 

Thank goodness they eventually got their act together and helped "Bad Habit" to get its much deserved weeks at #1, but indeed, Drake releasing this project earlier could have prevented that song from beating "We Belong Together, "Uptown Funk!", "I Will Always Love You", and "I Gotta Feeling" for most weeks spent on top. ?

i think the vast majority of people here are anti-Harry and called out the clearly skewed chart run he had. even when Watermelon Sugar went #1 back in 2020 people were talking about how it wasn't a 'real' number 1 hit 

[Dreajae]

Drake surely will be displeased. He already pushed his mess back so he could debut #1 on the albums and singles charts and possibly occupy the top 10.

 

It's been the battle of the stunt Queens obsessed with the charts for the past month. But Taylor is actually winning that battle AND the war.

Everything about her since 2017 is inorganic.. she just has that big of a cult fan base that will buy everything and will leave their 10+ devices on-loop streaming Taylor 

 

The FEMALE BTS

Spotify and Apple Music don't allow more than one device to stream at the same time. Do you even know what you're talking about?

Drake isn't fuming but sure his fans are, just take a look at the first page, they're the ones who started crying about remixes and discounts. Don't blame it on Taylor/Swifties 

exactly Drake, the artist who wrote, performed, and created this song isn't. who gaf about what his fans think 

 

Taylor was the only one of the two artists who was desperate at getting that #1 spot

This is BTS level of inorganicness..

The fraudulence 

Truly the FEMALE BTS

 

Billboard really has to do something with these remixes

They’ve only had “radio and singles poison!!!” for years and now that that’s gone also they have no idea what to do with themselves

#1 Easy On Me - 14.3M streams 

#2 We Don't Talk About Bruno - 32.4M 

 

Not something new i am afraid

One is not like the other. The difference is that this was EOM’s 10th week at #1 and Adele wasn’t pulling any antics to make up for the difference of streams between the two songs EOM just had 3 months of radio play and positive callouts to balance it out but she wasn’t moving a finger to try to lock the top spot.

And Taylor only released remixes, which is normal for every pop artist. Your point? 

She also has a huge advantage on radio.

Ok and she got it. Now what are you going to do with your life, keep whining about hers?

Releasing 5 remixes in 72 hours to make up for 100 points of difference between songs is not NORMAL  Rihanna got dragged to shreds last week for trying to do the same and Taylor is getting her lashings this week. And Anti-Hero is showing good stability across the board tho so she didn’t need this. She could probably return to #1 organically in 2 weeks or so or have a cute run inside the top 3 for weeks without having to go willow-mode.

There is no difference, both had something else going on against the massive streaming difference, which was your point. 

 

Easy On Me blocking We Don't Talk About Bruno with half of its streams (aka consumption which is again, your point) is not different than Anti Hero blocking Rich Flex with half of its streams.

Excuse excuse excuse, yall embarrassing  still doesn’t change the fact WDTAB was doing DOUBLE the streams of EOM, yet it was #2.

Girl, get over it. Also the difference of the points were never 100. It was like 50. And before the remixes predictions already claimed that AH had a shot thanks to the pure sales this week.

Rihanna got rightfully dragged for the radio payola she shoved down everyone throat, not really the digital covers cause everybody is doing it.

Please tell me you are joking

Since when is it normal to release a bunch of remixes, acoustic versions AND discount them all for a limited availability during a week where someone was obviously gonna lose the #1 spot?  the NERVE to make it seem like a regular thing. Not even BTS were this desperate

It wasn’t radio payola. It’s called first week radio deal. Something every comeback from big mainstream artists usually receives, including Anti-Hero. Are we really gonna pretend that Rihanna didn’t get dragged for the cheap antics like the instrumental version and the Wakandan lyric video  it happened one week ago, it’s still fresh on everyones memories.

BTS did not have half the airplay or streams Taylor does on her third week

 

Yall seem to be forgetting the Hot 100 is a made up chart that combines 3 metrics. Taylor’s 3 metrics combined are stronger than Drake’s 3 metrics combined. 
 

Instead of whining about Taylor’s sales. Whine about Drake’s radio. Or his lack of sales. 
 

Better yet don’t whine at all, and get a life or make your own chart or only acknowledge the streaming chart or something  

 

Like you guys seriously need to touch grass.

There were 12 pages dragging Rihanna (deservedly) for her digital covers

She sold multiple versions of the exact same song; just with different cover. (Which Willow also wrongfully did  )

 

She uploaded TEN videos of the same exact song.

 

At least anti-hero offered 5 unique remixes and wasnt selling the same **** in 5 different boxes. At least anti-hero wasn’t OUT of the top 30 on major streaming platforms. At least anti-hero wasn’t skyrocketing up the radio faster than actual hit songs.
