Konril Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Katy's 5 #1s. It's very difficult to achieve that back then when streaming (especially YouTube) wasn't part of the metric. The lengths Katy tried to push TOTGA to #1 with a remix with B.o.B, 99 cents and 69 cents discount and Acoustic version, she was determined to break that record but fell short. But at least she tied it for the record books. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny Jacobs Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 5 numbdr ones. Only 2 people did that and nowdays you constantly hearing about albums occupying the top 20 or something. Taylor is still the thanos of music tho 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoisonedIvy Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 Perhaps we should all be making a difference in the world instead of fighting over achievements that are not our own? Hmm? No? Well I tried Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least she tied it for the record books. If anything it is way, way more difficult (almost impossible) to achieve this with streaming. Back then, album tracks were mostly unknown until released as a single, when they rose on radio and digital sales at the same time. Nowadays hit songs are played and discovered as soon as an album is out. Traitor by Olivia has over a billion streams and barely even cracked the Top 20 after the album release week. Correlation between radio play and streaming success is extremely low, so it is almost impossible to align the points correctly for a high peak. Occupying the Top 10 is more impressive because it shows unprecedented demand for an entire album. 5 #1's is also dependent on luck - if Katy had released Wide Awake in the middle of her #1 run instead of any of the other singles, she would've lost the record, even though it wouldn't have affected the success of the singles at all. On the other hand, getting 5 #1s from an album would be absolutely impossible with streaming, so it doesn't really make sense to compare the achievements of an album from 2010 to an album from 2022.

Selegend Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 5 #1s. Even Taylor being, of course, way bigger. What Taylor done just proved how much of an album artist she is. But that can be proved with countless metrics, her album streams, her catalog hype and even her tour stats. The entire top 10 was just one more thing. entire top 10 proves that no one has the loyal audience that taylor has. but that has been proven a lot of times already. 5 #1s was a moment cuz it was 5 GP smash hits. it is more impressive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klein Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 It's just as impossible to get five #1s from an album now as it was to get ten top 10s at the same time in the 2010s. I'm not sure how you could compare these two achievements. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goaty Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I think Katy’s is more difficult to pull off. Both are very impressive stats though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avenger Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 I think the Katy one, but Taylor one is also very big thing but I somehow feel the entire top 10 will be broken sooner or later while I think Katy one was very rare feat both are quite huge tho.

teenager Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 (edited) 5 #1s. It was borderline impossible to do it then and even more improbable now without releasing all the singles before the album release. There’s a huge trend now, if a big artist releases, most of their album tracks debut on Billboard because of streaming, which to be honest is fair because it’s a fair representation of the most consumed of that week. Drake almost occupied the entire top 10 with his “underperforming” era. That’s not to say not occupying the entire top 10 isn’t big, because it is and it’s only been done once but I could see it happening again in the future, sooner rather than later. Getting multiple #1s across a lengthy time period is definitely harder and therefore more impressive rather than all tracks debuting all in the same week. I doubt the 5 #1s will ever be broken now because it’s much harder with streaming and albums rarely have successful second and third singles after the albums out.

UnusualBoy Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 It's hard to compare both achievements because they're from 2 different eras but if you ask me, I think Katy's a bit more impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
