Janet has actually written and composed a few songs (including a #1 hit!) by herself  but @FreeXone was out of pocket coming in here with that so I get it.

Yes, I voted that comment down. It's weird how this "white mediocrity" thing is still being pushed just because she's not some cup of tea.

Do you think I'm making this up just because it enforces the sterotype that Swfities bulk buy? I love my friend but girlie pop what is this

 

I have 0 reason to lie. Yall need to stop acting like this is not a norm. There are not 1M people buying her physical albums. She is a female BTS with the physical album sales (attributing her album sales to her album variants and dedicated fanbase is in no way discrediting her streaming/popularity so miss me with the "but her streams!@#!" im only saying her physical sales are inflated)

You’re kinda crazy to drag your friends for buying something they love and that they have the money for 

Are you that scared irl to tell that your friend to the point you’re venting on a forum

she could sell 4x as much as Madonna's total sales and still wouldn't be bigger.

300k from streaming alone? ***** thats more than all pop girls full debut numbers. Can someone drag Taylor logically pls instead of making yourself look like a clown?

I wonder if Lover will outlast Midnights at this point

I obviously don't know, but I don't think so. Midnights is still so high even without a current hit song, while Lover has the biggest song in the country. I'd expect Lover to drop harder once Cruel Summer's run comes to an end.

Outselling the Stolen Version? As it should.

300,000 x 1,500 streams = 450,000,000 streams in US alone

 

That's around ~38% more than the TOTAL population of US

 

So you've gotta be trolling kidding

Now imagine if your friend and the average Swiftie were more like the Chinese aespa fans who bulk buy 100 albums on average per each one of them.  That's easily 50M albums sold in a week. No, but really, just imagine the power.  

 

 

I see the vision. Taylor could release 100 versions of her next album with 2 years of pre-orders. Fans can sign up to have a portion of their weekly salary garnished to automatically purchase one of the versions. She would be coming for that 50m-75m debut week tbh

“Scared to tell your friend” 

 

“venting on a forum”

 

Scared to tell her what?   She can spend her money on whatever she wants, I never insinuated otherwise. But buying almost 10 versions of the same album is an odd thing to do and definitely shows that Taylor’s sales are inflated by encouraging fans to do what my friend does.

 

If you think that’s venting maybe pick up a dictionary and learn what that word means

I find it rich people calling "buying X amount" versions of the same album an issue... when certain kpop fan bases will: buy 20 versions of 1 variant, stream the album from multiple fake accounts, mass buy digital downloads from kpop's act website with different fake emails.

 

Look at your favs first before coming here all high and almighty thinking your making a point across to drag an act you don't like.

 

Whatever makes you sleep sound at night I guess dollface x

SOUR: 55 weeks in the top 10 
GUTS: 7 weeks in the top 10

and some people still deny that it is a sophomore slump.

I too think GUTS is a miss in terms of GP popularity but I think the lack of weeks on the top 10 has much more to do with the streaming environment today than 2 years ago. SOUR didn’t have to contend with 2-3 taylor albums constantly in the top 10, no SOS, no double Morgan Wallen. Back then getting more than 30k units would usually land you in the top 10. Now a days there’s practically 5-6 Taylor albums getting 30k units per week.

Your friend does not represent anyone else other than herself.

Don’t those artists get dragged constantly on here though? What’s the issue now?

They are trying to paint Taylor as an artist who doesn’t pick up interest with public. In addition to that, they want to generalise her entire fanbase as bulk-buyers of her material based upon singular case(s). I also wouldn’t bother this much with someone who is obviously engaged in bad faith.
