Alternatively Taylor might as well do the whole world a solid and bribe congress to have that piece of trash chinese spy app banned immediately. No litigation no selling to other companies. What an abomination it is, the things that app do to people. Edited April 26 by Kitboga 3

This. Every week, a new weird song from an unknown artist-ish going from 3-4M to 10M. Like 10M became the new standard!!! Which was around 5-6M until 2024, but one day it all changed. Look at Sabrina, that's a joke. For 2 days everyone is dropping on Spotify, she's gaining 20% plus everyday, and not because it's the biggest song of all time. AM won, really. (And I'm using Spotify) P.S I wish Taylor will use it this week but I'm sure wage won't. She couldn't even keep being number 1 on TTH, and even there Espresso is ahead… Edited April 26 by omrimayo 3

omrimayo Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Just now, dynastee said: the way you can't see these autoplay hits in AM top 10 is proof that the consumption is not organic I mean Espresso gaining a lot there also and top 10 in the UK, but not from yesterday, not from 450K to 960K IN 3 days? When those numbers are out of this world, I mean, OUT OF THIS WORLD, and sorry, the popularity of the song is not there with these numbers. Also, happened to many time in too little time so it's obvious that is Autoplay. 1

And it wouldn't even be inorganic for Taylor to do it, since she objectively has the biggest song right now without any of that phony paid hacks. She'd only be maintaining the lead that wouldn't have been close to begin with if autoplay never existed. unfortunately though Taylor has never paid for these things and never will. Again fortnight is already #3 on TTH and #9 on AM's TTH. I guess she's just happy for a 1 week #1 at the global charts and then go back into hiding. Fortnight will probably finish 2-4 at the global year end charts even though it would be so easy to finish #1 if she paid a little. welp, can't expect me to care anymore if she doesn't care either. 1
Prismee Posted April 26 Posted April 26 not enough people are talking about the key change in the MBOBHFT outro 3
vale9001 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 (edited) No One pays for auto play on Spotify. It's illegal so without proofs It's weak to Say artists we don't like are doing or only the others are doing It. It's giving OTH's fumes when they have to hate talented people they don't like. The auto play exists but Spotify decides to push artists for several reasons, not because someone pays them. people don't buy records anymore, Spotify don't pay the artists, should labels even paying Spotify? For what? Fake success and fake engagement don't create careers especially when It's people buying tickets for the concert. It's already hard to get back the Money of the cost of making videos, songs etc.. if you have to pay for Spotify too instead of them paying you goodbye. Edited April 26 by vale9001
vale9001 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 For example .... I think Spotify just connects Sabrina Carpenter to Taylor so this the reason most people get her after Taylor Since Taylor Is gigantic this week this could explain why She exploded.

taylor__fan Posted April 26 Posted April 26 imgonnagetyouback does scream like it will go viral in tiktok with a sped up version in a few months
taylor__fan Posted April 26 Posted April 26 It's great that they added ICDIWABH to TTH tho, I'm sure it will be at the Eras tour set, so it will benefit a lot from exposure 1

By the Water Posted April 26 Posted April 26 Yeah, spotify is definitely fraudulent these days but it doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things as these huge spikes in streams only result in a big drop in the future

I don't have a problem with that line because she sings it out beautifully, so it's not jarring. The wedding ring line in the bridge however... 2
Venice B Posted April 26 Posted April 26 SHE'S BEEN MANY PLACES WITH MEN OF MANY FACES FIRST THEY'RE OFF TO THE RACES AND SHE'S LAUGHING AND DRAWING ACES BUT NONE OF IT IS CHANGING THAT THE CHARIOT IS WAITING HEARTS ARE HERS FOR THE BREAKING THERE'S ESCAPE IN ESCAPING 1
chiliam Posted April 26 Posted April 26 1 hour ago, NEX said: I been saying that too. Like they are not bad, but they are not top tier Taylor Swift level melodies. My Boy - average melodies with lots of oh-ohs and full of metaphors. Katy Perried lyrics tbh. Katy was always a queen of not being able to put a sentence together without using a metaphor. Down Bad - very vibey song, but the melodies are also very mid. And the same problem with non stop metaphors. So Long - also pretty mid melodies. The Archer level Track 5 Slammer - same. Pretty tiring melody. Not bad, but not top tier at all. Clara is also pretty meh Side B is miles ahead in the melodic department. And don't get me started on the production. Side B is bright and clear and complements all the songs and her voice shines on top of them. Side A is muddy and muted and her voice drowns in it. She certainly hasn't lost her melodic sense because there are many strong vocal melodies on this album, even on Side A. But still, there are far too many missteps and boring moments. Midnights > TTPD:main. I know a lot of people would hate to hear this right now while the album is still new and shiny, but we'll see your album rankings in a year or two from now My boy and Down bad metaphor is not a one line metaphor. But the whole concept of those songs are a big metaphor so the there's many lines link to the toys/alien abduction theme. And they are pretty clever. The melody is subjective, you might like it or you dont. I dont argue with that. But factually, lyrically they are not badly written at all. 3
Selegend Posted April 26 Posted April 26 this is the album i'm obsessed the most since... midnights she did that 7
Heldenzeit Posted April 26 Posted April 26 I still have to listen to this all the way through. There's no "let's keep this song on repeat" yet. Truly love the journey! 1
Heldenzeit Posted April 26 Posted April 26 I Can Do It With a Sh*tty Beat is bottom 5 on the album btw! 6

vale9001 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 i think the way she works with melodies is different from the past so you need to get the different rythm but when you got it then all the songs from that point of view for me are working. The only part really doesn't work it's the one on title track about the rings at the restaurant. You can listen to it 100 times just doesn't feel part of the song and always so out of the place and kills the progression and the rhythm of the song.

The wedding ring line in the bridge however... I put a like and took it off just because that wedding ring line is my favorite in the whole song 1
vale9001 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 autoplay for me is still not fraudolent as radios counting for charts, a thing exists only in the Us for what i know. with autoplay you can still skip the song before the stream counts or why not, if you are annoyed you can block the song and they can't autoplay it anymore. With radios if radios play a song counts whatever people are listening or not, just based on audience points. 1
