I think he did. He is just saying that for someone with that huge peak there wasn't any unescapable singles. There's nothing wrong with that

This is the one

 

she obviously has smash famous songs but if you guys sit back and realize that she has been putting so many bodies of work out, the GP will not recognize her recent singles as a you belong with me or blank space, etc

The circle jerk in here :rip: I really dislike Taylor but even I know the majority of the replies in here are highly DELUSIONAL…

Taylor has been winning too much, so hate circle jerks on here is a way for them to cope :ducky:

Taylor literally OWNS this site. The obsession and absolute delusion in the comments :skull:

I mean the singles from the swamp witch albums that rejuvenated her career critically and even the vault track singles off the TVs  felt like they came and went.

 

But Anti-Hero was arguably a huge, huge hit across every demographic, so odd comment.

Is it Over Now 

Peak: #1

Top 10 weeks: 4

Top 20 weeks: 13

Overall weeks: 23

 

Yes, End!

Peak: #1

Top 10 weeks: 2

Top 20 weeks: 4

Overall weeks: 13

 

Literally 3x bigger with that Top 20 residency than the lead single of a supposed MPG :toofunny3:

Is this the new OTH base? Has anyone tried the chicken?

Such a weird response since you'd 1) assume I would argue Yes, And? is a huge hit (it wasn't) and 2) just gone and purposefully earned an Off-Topic warning that of course I'm going to report the post for? Like? What? And that's before even getting into that Neil Tennant is British so what would American Hot 100 figures even have to do with anything?  (PS: This is also not a cue to do *another* off-topic post with OCC stats either) :deadbanana4:

Her songs are not uniqe I'm afraid

To be fair, not a lot of artist have a hit as huge as Billie Jeans (them included) so idk what that guy is yapping about...

 

For example, Joni Mitchell does not have a Billie Jeans hit, but does that make her less impactful and less of a legend? ABSOLUTELY NOT!

Ok, since you struggled to comprehend, let me break it down to you: spending 13 weeks in the top 20 without any push, remixes, performance or even a video clearly doesn't align well with your weak "came and went" drag. To help you comprehend I used an example of a #1 hit from your fave. If Is It Over Now "came and went", what would you call Yes, End? The song with a major push, 50+ remixes, and a music video. Oh did I mention Mariah Carey?? Mariah Carey!! And not you trying to make this into a British charts situation when you spoke directly about her career rejuvenation and critical acclaim in general. Such a master of deflection lol. And stop worrying about my warning points - it never went above 0.

People here not knowing Pet shop boys is a living proof, nothing remains forever in about 20 years or so Taylor music will also be spoken about like this! People are just not interested in visiting old music and that's alway been the case for most part. 

No she won't. Imagine comparing century's biggest artist to Pet Shot Boys and thinking you made any point. 

 

People still know and listen acts like MJ, The Beatles, Nirvana, Madonna, Elvis etc. and Taylor will be no different than them.

FACTS Only

 

but even comparing Taylor's Legit "SMASH HITS" to Gaga's, Katy's, Adele's SMASH HITS? they pale

even FLOWERS and I'm Good stomped on boring unknown fan-inflated songs like fortnight, anti-hero, cardigan, willow

The NERVE of liddos when Gaga released only ONE hit song in the last DECADE 

 

Taylor's top 5 biggest hits outstreams Gaga's whole forgotten catalogue everyday. The nerveee

Sis, you're literally admitting to knowingly making Off Topic posts Neil Tenant didn't mention Ariana Grande, so that you decide to randomly mention her is...the textbook definition of off topic trolling users are told not to do. Like you're going 2 for 2 in the WP. Good luck.  :deadbanana4:

Another proof that ATRL's 40 years old audience is once again out of touch with real world

Her catalogue is weak and bland. Taylor Swift's biggest hits are not remembered and have no impact.

Mind you Gaga's forgotten catalogue is barely competing with Katy's

She's a 34-year old woman who can't handle criticism or stay single for a week

Criciz! ng someone's love life while your fave stays with her cheater is crazy, don't you think so? 

 

 

Hive talking about hits here when their fave's last real hit was from 15 years ago is... really hilarious. Is this how y'all cope with your has been faves

At last people have started realizing and seeing the bubble of taylordom.

People = the voices in your head? 

 

People decided to make her the biggest artist in the world. This level of coping is crazy...

No one remembers after days and weeks except her swifties.

She has the most remembered catalogue of the century. 

 

If only Madonna fans could do the same and she wouldn't be left behind her peers

The rest of the world except swifties. Duh

Her albums are not even in the top 30 for the best selling albums of all time by females in the UK. 

No one remembers her albums either. 

Sorry swiftie, desperate try.

They do. This is why all of her albums chart all over the world. 

 

We are not talking about Madonna and her barely 4M streamed catalogue here

Yeah right. Madonna has 13 no.1s singles there. Your favorite had only 3 in the so-called inflating streaming era.

Fewer than Ariana. Tragic.

Again No one remembers her disposable and factory-lnstalled like produced songs. 

I think she should compete with Shakira with two.

Too unfortunate that almost of them are forgotten. Imagine #1 "remembered smash" doing 50k daily streams... The definition of no one curr catalogue

I think the point is that you'd expect someone of Taylor Swift's current MASSIVE status to have global monster hits. Most of her biggest hits are pre-Reputa (and it's debatable whether those hits are global classics to begin with), when she was big, but nothing compared to how big she is today.

I think Taylor is like Mariah. They have so many hits but the GP only knows one or two songs by them

Disclaimer: 

This comment is not used to demean or offend any of the singers but to show what Pet Shop Boys was trying to convey with that message. I love them both and PSB is iconic

These people stan Taylor of all people. Their music knowledge has to be null or they wouldn't be.
