Thank you. 

 

Mods make them stop

Please move any and all talk about the politics of this song to the Civics section please.  Future posts will be warned for off topic.

I bet Luke Combs regrets not pushing Fast Car last week. It was its last chance

[spree]

she'll just get it next week, no?  Unless Drake releases.

[Baby Judas]

His sales alone is enough to challenge the number 1 spot.. I wonder how long can they keep this up. That sales will surely fall next week, but I don't think that his streams will collapse right away.

Apple has got to be loving these digital sales boosts.  And Bad Idea, Right? got 2.4k in sales.  THAT'S the problem right there.

Yes. Fast Car peaked, so it will be Taylor vs. a new release (if there's any).

 

I don't think Rich Men will be #1 for a second week.

This is just so embarrassing. I feel so bad for CS

231k PURE?!?! Maybe we can let a lil MAGA’s join Bardigang…

Same. I think I would've rather it stay at #3  Seeing another Lover single at #2 is nauseating

Based on the fact that it's selling 10k this week, Fast Car would have fallen short even if he pushed last week. FC needed at least 22-25k sales, and that was never going to happen.

Oh it's not even close, byeee.

Thank god Taylor Nation didn't do anything to push it. 

[wish]

The charts are CLEARLY being manipulated by someone. No unsigned artist in a niche genre is selling 230k pure sales in 2023.

 

Why hasn't Billboard investigated this yet??

The music industry is dead
