Leptine Posted May 21 Posted May 21 I'm not even a fan of Taylor but no mainstream popstar is really in the position to act above certain marketing strategies like vinyl variants and stuff like that, no matter the reasons, they all benefit from that. 9 1

She's had her time and then some. Billie is doing 300k she deserves #1 and I ain't even a fan. I mean people root against Billie cause shes a massive hypocrite. 1 hour ago, Gaia said: What a ******* dumbass comparison. Now you're mentioning first week because your argument was completely invalid the first go round? How about you just take the Streaming units and divide it by the total number of tracks to see where it stands on an average per track. What kinda dumbass **** is "first 5 tracks during debut week!:/" No one said Billie is bigger than Taylor. Such a miserable fanbase desperate to make Taylor look league above everyone else I mean people are trying to say that Taylor has good numbers due to number of tracks are you being blind on purpose?

UnusualBoy Posted May 21 Posted May 21 I can't believe Dangerous gained steam again and it's top 5 like who the **** keeps streaming his ****? 3

It was such a weird choice for Billie's team to push this anti-variants agenda only to then release multiple album covers, voice-only albums, unique paint-splattered vinyl covers etc a few weeks later. It was very out of character who always would have struck me as one of the more 'authentic' superstars. 3
spiritboy Posted May 21 Posted May 21 So what if Billie doesn't reach #1? Madonna has too many iconic #2 albums that have stood the test of time and Billie will have the same with this one. Taylor is petty for releasing new versions this week but if Billie can't outsell her with her new album, then it's not Taylor's fault. Stop blaming Taylor for blocking other artists. 3 1

I wonder who's gonna write a song about who first? Although I bet Taylor has already recorded a new whatsapp voice recording titles " Environmentalist wannabe"
RideOrDie Posted May 21 Posted May 21 13 minutes ago, Colmillo said: Which doors did Taylor open for Billie? If artists like Lana or Taylor didn't exist and didn't go through the struggles they experienced by the public and media, young female nepo baby songwriters like Billie who blew up with social media doing bedroom pop music would not be getting respected and winning such prestigious awards with their first albums. Lana and Taylor got hated so hard so that artists like Billie can be loved and respected from day 1. She would not be anywhere near the same status if she was older and tried to debut like before Lana and Taylor's trials and tribulations, she would have been so clowned by the media and GP. Even Lorde got flack in her debut era just so Billie can do whatever the **** she wants 10 4 2 2
Gossip_Boy Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Losing #1 with 300k+ is a bummer but the numbers are great nonetheless (and I expect them to rise a bit more throughout the week). Plus it might end up going #1 after she wins her second AOTY anyway

Underdogs Posted May 21 Posted May 21 (edited) How has this turned into Taylor going out of her way to block Billie in specific? Taylor and her team would have done this whenever the #1 spot was in jeopardy yet still within reach. It really has nothing to do with Billie… Edited May 21 by Underdogs 2 7
