Carnival has been number 1 on Apple Music and Spotify US with no playlisting, little to no radio, and no music video like bffr. Suddenly this week that teddy song is doing so well on sales? French Montana tease

"Tumbling down" within the top 5, whilst two songs received massive fraudulent boosts this week.  Why are you still so mad about this song? Get a grip...

the fact that you need to defend every little thing said about that song 

 

beyonce and her fans are fraudulent too so i guess there’s 3 frauds competing now

If Carnival takes it, it'll be the most “organic” #1 in recent history. No label, no airplay, no official single, no video, no performances, de-platformed from streaming services. Can’t tell if it’s impressive or concerning, but it’s definitely shocking.

Teddy reached a new peak on spotify

It was already a #2 hit in the US 

 

But now it could reach a new peak thanks to the new versions. I wonder if it could challenge Carnival

I mean, I know it always had the potential to top the chart, but it seems to be reaching new peaks on Spotify now

the fact that y’all are so happy about this song like it’s some never-seen-before smash will always send me into orbit  but i guess any sign of stability will look like a smash for y’all after 10+ years without a hit.

Why wouldn't we celebrate stability when many of the MPG's singles are serving 1-OUT during 2020s from Ariana to Gaga to Nicki and even Rihanna? Beyoncé who hasn't had hit since Bush era was spending 5 weeks, 14 weeks, 10 weeks, 6 weeks and now 3 weeks inside the top 10 21 years into her solo career while Gaga hasn't seen one hit since 2013.

My thoughts exactly… this toddler-level trolling and the hive keeps taking the lame-ass bait

Taylor’s team pushing IION at the expense of cruel summer is so stupid 

They just wanted to nudge it over the line to hit #1 at radio, which it did. I’m sure they’ve already shifted gears to TTPD.

and that’s the gag. that i’m not arguing with any of y’all

[bad guy]

Carnival deserves. Truly an organic hit. Sorry to Teddy but the cheap tactics of 50 million versions and discounts to game the charts is an instant NO from me.

No shade, but the Beyonce song does feel like payola. They paid for two weeks it seems The song is dropping across streaming platforms but suddenly she's being promoted on playlists. She's on Spotify's Hot Hits USA playlist (this could be common. idk) and Apple's Alpha International Women's Day playlist (on the browse page) during Ariana's release week. The ironic thing is, a very small pic of Ariana is beneath a very large image of her. Something about it seems fishy.

Texas dropping is obviously because it was taken off TikTok. It has also fallen completely off the billboard TikTok chart (duh). 
 

Obviously Bey and other really big names can survive without it, but record labels are in for a rude awakening. I’ve been saying that they need TikTok more than it needs them.

She's been promoted on playlists since the release of the song. There's no "suddenly" about it.  Also, what's weird about her being on HHUSA and the Alpha playlist? "Ariana's release week" doesn't suddenly mean all other songs get deleted from playlists.

 

The song dropped a bit on streaming services once it was removed from TikTok as the dance challenge was helping blow it up. However, it has remained stable all over the world. It's mainly the US where it's starting to slip the most. There's nothing fishy about its performance at all...
