Doing their job being "not healthy & looks bad" Yes when you're still in the early days of your career but 20 years later and your still chart obsessed and constantly releasing stuff to get more sales/chart better is a bit sad & like I said not healthy, it's not healthy to be obsessed with anything. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trent W Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 So from what I've read recently Billie was just predicted to sell 300k+ but not 300k just + so there is no 50k gap And her team is pulling last minute tricks because they are actually close So she might get that number 1?

So she's better because she's doing less? She's still contaminating just the same, at least change it up and offer some added value. You can be critical if you're actively trying to make a difference but just saying **** and trying to seem above everything while still doing the very same thing you criticize it's dumb. You should've just sat there and ate your food "So she's better because she's doing less?" I think that would literally be the point, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So she focusing on what she's good at and thats making her fans buy multiple copies of her albums. 1 4 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthinos Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 I'm not usually interested in charts. I'm too old to be interested in chart battles. Still, I hope Billie gets the #1. She deserves it. I think her album is much better than Taylor's album, which I listened to once and never again. 1 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It takes just 45 minutes for Taylor to release another version and her fans will buy 50k copies last minute. Sadly billie got no chance but she can outsell her own debut's first week sales and claim her biggest opening yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Girl, Billie is 6 years into her career. At this point, Taylor was already debuting with 1m sales with one single version of her album.

Cruel Summer Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 1 hour ago, St. Charles said: But people are saying Billie is taking it now which contradicts the title. What are they basing this off of? I would say it's probably just a guess - there's really no easy way to know how consumption patterns have shaken out the last few days or whether the couple extra versions Billie has released have been enough to close the gap.

YellowRibbon Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) Not the manager liking shady tweets That zionist manager is really pressed at Taylor f*cking up this rollout I'm screaming Come on Taylor!

Blackout2006 Posted May 23 Share Posted May 23 (edited) Ngl, it's so funny to see Swifties talk about how they enjoy "all" the seething and fuming they've been seeing for the past thirty pages...While they have been the ones camping in this thread and having the most number of responses in it (the top three posters in this topic are swifties) Seems this is living rent-free in your all heads a lot.

Where did I say I care about Billie, my point was a general statement that would apply to anyone. If my faves were still pulling desperate chart ish, i would feel the same way, they don't need another number one, more money or validation. For what?

I said being in the game 20 years and being the obsessed with being number one/stats and constantly seeking validation for your work and not just enjoying that your fans like it. It's sad when Nicki does it but Taylor does it and she's a smart business woman (no they don't do it in the same way but they both do it & the point still stands).

Taylor dropped 3 voice memos, same as she's done for several albums. If that's enough to cause meltdowns that's more your obsession with expecting her to humble herself for no other reason than artists needing charity from her to play catch up 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's enough to cause meltdowns that's more your obsession with expecting her to humble herself for no other reason than artists needing charity from her to play catch up I don't even know what the voice memos are tbh I'm not referring to that it's all the extra stuff that you don't have to do and think would stop after 15+ years. I don't think a back & forth conversation classes as a meltdown or obsession you're doing too much with that. It's not about other artist it just comes a point where that shouldn't matter anymore as you grow older and your priorities change. You're part of the Taylor cult so can't see past that, again like I said my statement is about everyone and anyone not pointed at Taylor.
