People conveniently forget that Taylor encouraged fans to mass buy albums for both of her last tours in order to get access to presales. Each of her albums since 2020 has multiple versions available, she discounts singles to the cheapest price possible to gain chart points, etc. Nicki is demonstrating the same behavior and pushing further past that and it really points out how bullshit the current system Billboard has for evaluating the popularity of releases is. Either make a new system and change the rules as is or come up with a new system to evaluate the popularity of these records. she's an artist who is willing to sell her art, and she never really begged her fans on the internet to buy her albums, she just makes albums and puts them on her website for pre-order. she's never encouraged her fans to blindly buy a record which would give them the opportunity to do or earn something from it. she just promotes her music, and it's the fans who are willing to BUY even if there's no bonus in buying. She's Taylor Swift, she can randomly release an album and sell 600k vinyls in a single week, without even mentioning it on her Instagram or Twitter accounts. Also Taylor always plays by the rules. She may be a little concerned with her commercial success, but she makes sure to earn and maintain her gigantic success and dominance by following the rules.

Billboard has shown their ass pretty well in regards to their "rules" with bulk sales. Either allow bulk sales or dont allow them at all at this point. Don't get me wrong I have a LOT of issues with Nicki lately in regard to this album rollout, but she is not in the wrong here. I don't see her pushing the rules of the establishment as a bad thing at all. The fact that the exact same thing happened during Queen and might happen again is a bit disheartening though. I agree with you but I don't think Adele has ever had multiple versions of one album or even a deluxe version. She releases albums like it's 90s. And Olivia is not on Taylor Swift's level of releases. She had a hidden track on her vinyl album, but that's been a common practice since the 90s. She also only had one cover variant for Guts available at Target, which is pretty standard with most big releases. Either Walmart or Target will get an exclusive cover.

X~MoviePoP Posted December 15, 2023 Posted December 15, 2023 I understand her frustration. Lots of kpop stans and American artists do shady stuff too. But liking and bringing cardi or meg into this is very annoying. Just like when she brought up latto via the whole grammy situation

Nickimeetsatrl Posted December 15, 2023 Posted December 15, 2023 I just know that it sucks for her since she is an immigrant that build her entire career from the ground up in a male dominated field where there were practically no successful women when she entered in the field and there was a known lifespan for women in her field to be treated unfairly in the industry after 15 years. I can understand her rage.especially since other artist get away with so much. 2 5 3
