HDD final numbers: 'Midnights' vs. 'SOS' for #1 – only separated by 200 (!) units

[Hunter_13]

Mess barely 1.5k gap no wonder she dropped them. People being mad is stupid cause Sza will br back on top next week anyway.

Silly but I guess both sides are getting coins from people who care about the #1

SZA released it too late though. Taylor had the whole day

[Scars]

Get that #1 SZA. 

[brazil]

I feel like HDD is probably paid by Taylor's team too. Those numbers are exactly what would propmt swifites to buy even more copies of that awful album

Lord posted on IG Stories! 

Go and get that #1 queen!!!

Battle for your life, Babylon!

SZA has reigned for four weeks already so I wouldn’t be pressed. Taylor’s desperation with multiple 5 dollar versions mixed with her core base’s buying power I don’t think SZA could compete. Her album is getting more streams though

No comparison tho?

SZA didn't do anything before Taylor pulled the cheap tricks.  For every action there's a reaction.

So SZA can do promotion for her album but once Taylor does it, it's called cheap tricks?

SZA didn't do any promotion for her album UNTIL Taylor was petty. It was all organic and no fraudulence in sight

Taylor being called petty because the difference for #1 was minuscule

Ehh. The difference is minuscule simply because they updated and counted the digital versions released earlier.

Pushing your album to #1 when you are 1k off in predictions against an album that already went #1 is petty?  What obligation does Taylor have to SZA?

And again, how does this classify as “petty”

Didn't Midnights already spend like 5 or 6 weeks at #1? While SOS spent only 3 weeks at #1. Plus this is her first ever #1 album of her career. She's black, young and new in the music industry. I am sorry but  I think this move was her pettiest move ever. Very n-asty from her. No excuse here. Let other artists shine. And that extra week at #1 she will get won't even be organic and we all know that

Desperate tactics

[Cloröx]

You all weird, back in 2010-2015 we all celebrated when pop girls went all out with promo. Nowadays, it's all "Petty, so desperate..!!!"

Adele stans having meltdown in here. I wonder why

You have again failed to answer why Taylor isn’t allowed to be #1, or how this is in any way petty  Do you understand what that word means? Have Taylor and SZA ever interacted for there to be any context to this other than both artists seeing an opportunity to be #1, which happens constantly. When has artists needing to “let” others’ albums get more weeks at #1 than them ever been the way the music industry has operated?

 

And SZA is older than Taylor
