everything is going the wrong way.

 

sick twisted white demons

[Hi-res]

Where are these random ass country songs coming from 

 

If this reaches top 5 on AM…

[TrieLz]

Welp 

 

I prefer Fast Car to hit #1 than this random song 

[slas]

#5 on AM it's officially over

[Jaf207]

This says it’s challenging for only top ten at most but it’s 5 on Apple Music. Does it really have a chance for number 1?

They usually play it conservative right now with projections.  Will just have to see if it remains consistent/rises throughout the week.

it's pretty crazy how easy it looks to change the tides.  Actually kinda scary. Why can't gays be more coordinated? We need to come together. 

[genetic fail]

Do something Taylor!

But it’s not coordination it’s just people buying music they like cuz they do.   Coordinated is mass streaming vampires her label discounting it the weekend it drops just to over take a 20 week number 1 that returns to number  2 the following week.    That a manipulative move

Yeah it's definitely going #1  Billboard's over if they keep letting this happen. Labels and management companies won't tolerate their artists getting blocked on the Hot 100 by bigoted MAGA songs every other week.

Yes they will they will just sign more of them, they will follow the money they don’t care who it’s from

No its not. I dont think the sales are as crazy as initially feared.

Time to seriously reduce the weight of sales or just get rid of them completely. Nobody buys songs anymore so what’s the point of keeping them there? It’s just fanbase or MAGA driven now

no, thats disgusting, sales should always remain king, streaming should be reduced , auto play , payopla, playlisting 

[Mr. Blue_Shirt]

Right wing country fans are highkey good at coordinate things I fear

 

They are so desperate for mainstream validation that they would buy ANYTHING that has conservative message in it

 

Watch it would free falling like that Jason Aldean song

[Janet]

This calls for the end of the billboard hot 100

It will become the BTS Hot 100 in that case

The #1 song in most weeks is selling 5 or 10k 

Almost nobody is buying songs, because it makes absolutely no sense to buy songs in 2023

[Virgos Groove]

We need some Cruel Summer remixes NOW

i buy songs and vinyls

US Apple Music:

5+32  Oliver Anthony Music - Rich Men North of Richmond   

 

 

But sales are probably not that huge as Jason Aldean's song because chartdata hasn't reported anything
