lmaooo this weirdo is the one walking around with his own pants down. imagine creating a thread to deliberately shade an artist then scrambling like a rat when it blows up in your face.

Nothing blew up in my face, that has only happened to Monsters since the RENAISSANCE era has begun The more time goes on, the more the #s accumulate like a presidential election of who the winner is

Ikr, it makes zero sense. A lot of the songs posted here were actual flops in the US but hits elsewhere, which explain their good streaming stats.

So you're admitting this thread was made as a bey vs gaga honeypot and not as a genuine discussion?

No, it was a general discussion

 

Perhaps some users were pressed a artist was used as a example

Logic has gone completely out the window in this thread my goodness. Completely ignoring the Apple Music when it comes to US streams? It also barely charted elsewhere.

[Maverick84]

Holiday by Madonna. It peaked at number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, but it's considered a classic.

Like, the way they always move the goal post  Now, if they were posting BMS and Cuff It side by side to show how (in relation to the topic) Cuff It is coming to be several times bigger despite peaking at #6(?)… it’d be one thing. Don’t just pick and choose, babes 

[Holiest Dreams]

In 2015 (Hot 100):

 

Bad Blood — #1

Wildest Dreams — #5

Style — #6

 

 

In 2023 (Spotify):

 

Wildest Dreams — 1.01B streams (+1.03M yesterday)*

Style — 555M streams (+1M yesterday)

Bad Blood — 500M streams (+470K yesterday)*
 

* I combined WD (OG) and WD (TV), as well as Bad Blood (OG) and Bad Blood (Remix) for the full picture, since streams get split for both. As you can see, despite the much higher peak, Bad Blood is on the absolute FLOOR in comparison to these two evergreen Pop Classiques

Exactly. "One Kiss" was literally the biggest song of 2018 in the UK and a massive European hit across the board. No wonder it has fantastic streaming stats.

 

That OBH really thought they did something by using the Hot 100 peaks thinking we wouldn't know the full picture.

Pop excellence and timeless music won. 

 

Love to see "Bad Blood" getting gradually lost to the sand of times as it deserves. The only misstep in an otherwise fantastic album rollout (well...except for the utter disrespect towards "New Romantics")
