Nothing to do with Miley. Just telling it how I see it!

You are always in Taylor thread. Your faves latest album is serving OUT on the charts. Stream that first before putting your energy hating on more successful popstar.

all I’m saying are these songs may have technically gone #1 but they’re not hits.

Then why are you calling them fraudulent when the thread is talking about quantity of #1s ? :deadbanana: whether they all were huge smashes or not is entirely beyond the point of this thread

Completely derailing the thread to champion a point nobody brought up. :rip:

Taylor got that Miley fan bothered. Your fave can't even have a no. 1 album anymore and used a hit song as reference to have a no. 1 :rip:

 

Ended Summer Vacation is tanking on charts, no one cared about that album literally :rip:

Did my post invalidate or somehow undo those #1s??? No. I’m just sharing my opinion. 
 

I didn’t say they didn’t go #1. Im saying they’re not hits and were propelled to #1 from mass consumption during first week and then swiftly fell off. Sorry you’re butthurt by that…

Miley's no. 1s are because of shocked value (wrecking ball) and referencing another hit song to secure a no. 1 (flowers). 

 

Miley needs gimicks to hit no. 1. :rip:

Okay and Taylor needs mass buying to go #1 like those k-pop songs. And 1000 versions and remixes. :confused:

Ok? And Miley never had a no. 1 album for decade. I cringe when I watched her fallon interview insisting she has a no. 1 album with plastic hearts only fallon to say she does not have. So cringe! HAAHAHAH

Honey it has nothing to do with Flowers. Most of Taylor’s #1 are frauds like All Too Well, Willow & Is It Over Now? No one knows these songs but her stans.

 

It’s akin to K-pop #1s. Thanks mass buying.

I think this habit of calling frontloaded singles "frauds" for their poor longevity comes from a very distorted perception of what a #1 single is.

 

A #1 single is simply a song which was the biggest - across one or multiple formats - for one week. All Too Well was everywhere when it came out, just like Ariana's collaborations with The Weeknd and others. Not every #1 is supposed to become a classic, it can hit the peak because competition is weak, or because it belongs to a very successful project (Taylor's re-releases for example), and sometimes there are artists with chart power linked to their name alone, that have such a large following that they can bring the song to the top. I know not everybody can comprehend that (like a Miley stan, who - no shade - needs years of effort to chart in the Top 10) but there are artists that chart their whole albums in the Top 40 of the Hot 100, and can hit #1 very easily based on their name and fanbase, it's obvious that not all of their #1 can be multi-weeks smashes.
 

A song hitting #1 and then falling won't be as impressive as a 10 weeks #1, but that doesn't take away from the fact that for one week it was the biggest song number-wise, I promise you it's not that deep and no Taylor or Ariana stan would trade those 10 #1 singles - frontloaded or not - for one Flowers sized smash, especially considering both of them have multiple songs that have stayed at the top for two months.

This Miley fan needs to come on his/her/them senses. 1 no. 1 hit after a decade and multiple bombs is not something to be clinging on constantly. 

 

Your fave just got lucky because it has the hype of comparison with When I was your man. 

 

I bet after this it will be a long time again to see Miley on top of the chart or not at all, hence her latest album and singles tanking after flowers. 

 

This Miley fans needs to know there place :bird:

Crazy to think that Rihanna only released one album this past decade :deadbanana4: if someone would've told you that in 2014 they would have NEVER believed you

You called them fraudulent with no other context or elaboration until now. I appreciate the clarification, but not sure how me, or anyone else in this thread for that matter, was supposed to understand that. :rip:

Ariana's are all frauds except for 2 and so are most of taylor's

Taylor's #1s in the past 10 years:

 

*Shake It Off - diamond certified and eligible for at least 15x Platinum with well over 5 billion cumulative streams 

*Blank Space - 13x platinum eligible 

*Bad Blood - 8x platinum eligible

*Look What You Made Me Do - 8x platinum eligible and one of the most notorious comebacks of the 2010s

Cardigan - If you'd made this comment two years ago I may have agreed, but Cardigan is following the Sweater Weather/The Night We Met track of intensely stable streams for an indie song that blew up on TikTok, and is now pulling 2M streams a day and racks up billions over time. 

*Willow - The only song on this list that required any gimmicks to go #1, but that was only because it was facing down All I Want For Christmas Is You the week before Christmas, and even then it's multiplatinum and does over 900k streams a day. 

All Too Well - already addressed by others, but over a billion streams and 5x platinum, despite being 10 minutes long and never getting touched by the radio

*Anti-Hero - 8x platinum eligible in 15 months, imminently headed for diamond

*Cruel Summer - 8x platinum eligible, even more imminently headed for diamond

Is It Over Now - Averaging almost 100M streams every month and already multiplatinum eligible, despite not even being 4 months old and without a video.

 

The starred songs all went #1 on a radio format (IION should join in a couple of weeks) they were all the most streamed songs of their peak week (except for Willow, which came within inches of beating AIWFC in one of the biggest streaming weeks of the year), and every single song on this list was a top seller at one point during its run at #1. I'm not sure why you'd say most of Taylor's #1s are frauds when at best you could mayyyyyybe make an easily discreditable argument for 1 of the 10, but you've been pressed about Taylor for a good while now, so I can't say I'd expect any different from you.
