It was just very disheartening to see how much popularity absolutely ~bashing~ her for every thing she has been saying/doing was on that thread. I put in a request w/ the mods to clean it up because they are saying fake news left and right. OT: She is still outsmashing expectations and a certain fanbase is not happy. I wonder if she really can challenge for the #1 spot

I wonder if she really can challenge for the #1 spot It will actually do the opposite. She will absolutely be seen as the "underdog" in this situation and the blonde girl downright looks like a success obsessed bully being a woman in her 30s trying to knock down someone who is still in her early 20s. I have seen absolutely nothing but love for the entire album on tiktok and instagram. Trust the only people "bashing" her or criticizing her are that specific fanbase. Let them foam at the mouth over a random week at #1 for their fave. Billie is winning in acclaim and GP success whether or not that fanbase tries to manufacture drama or not. Edited May 23 by Gaia 15

Just want Billie to get positive recognition for very much a break-through pop record in the modern era. Even I wasn't prepared to defend this thing as much as I am.

zzmyth Posted May 23 Posted May 23 (edited) TBH.... 349.999 vs 350.000 is good enough for me at this point. I would just love Billie winning this SO BAD!! Just for the shake in the Swifties arrogance and treatment over the rest of the fanbases. Ugh they are simply insufferable Edited May 23 by zzmyth 8

After the HUGE hate train before the HTE release and lukewarm success compared to DSAM and WWFA, this is just so amazing to witness. Universal acclaim and love for her The longer break and WWIMF are exactly what she needed. Then coming back with a full 10/10 album really set things in motion. She is reposting so many videos on TikTok so we all know she's seeing all the love she's getting and that makes me happy since I just know she wasn't in the best place after all the hate during HTE. I'm so happy and proud as a stan! I hope no one feeds bad/sad about BB200. It's so irrelevant long term. 10 1
dalladallamallamalla Posted May 23 Posted May 23 Some interesting comparisons. I kind of want to see the US numbers for the week total. I am starting to be delusional and think that her team recognizes they can fight for #1. 3
theboyismine Posted May 23 Posted May 23 Increasing on the 6th day, uh Billie don't make that SERVE 5
wish Posted May 23 Posted May 23 This album is truly MASSIVE. I knew Billie's music had excellent longevity, but this level of stability is something I've never quite seen before. 5
PoisonedIvy Posted May 23 Posted May 23 Billie's numbers are phenomenal, this competition is doing wonders for her. I have hope and faith that she'll get the #1, honestly. 2

Thanks for this, let's hope your peers learn to treat the rest the same way I know there's a lot of people fanning the flames but most of us, even in base, are enjoying both albums. The competition doesn't phase us nor are we even really rooting "against" Billie, we actually just want everyone to see that artists promoting their work brings more attention to it, and it's what they deserve. Especially with a masterpiece like HMHAS 2

No, I wasn't. All of my posts, in this thread and others, have been positive towards Billie, encouraging the competition between both, and actively enjoying the music. My post history speaks for itself. I've got about 7 posts in this thread over the past few days with nothing but love and positivity. 6
Billionaire Posted May 23 Posted May 23 3 tracks still in the top10 on Spotify Global a week later this smash album 3

Even HDD was shading her for her antics trying to block Billie during her release week after being #1 for 4 weeks and breaking almost every possible record left. Even if Billie still finishes at #2 she still won this week. 3

I'm working on it myself because truthfully, I used to be a decent sized Taylor fan. Folklore is still a go to album for me to this day.
dalladallamallamalla Posted May 23 Posted May 23 With rankings for anyone who cares. At this point, I'm no longer sure what's going to happen with Billboard 100 or 200

It's ok, this site can really turn a lot of people into animals, but I try my best to keep my head above water and show everyone we can treat each other with respect. It's music, it's pop culture, it's supposed to be fun. The toxicity, on both ends, is draining and unnecessary. I'm glad you enjoy folklore. I mentioned it a couple days ago but HMHAS has joined folklore, NFR, and Melodrama in the "modern music masterpieces" category of my mind. 4

Her numbers would be as big even if it wasn't for "competition". It's very weird that Swifties chose that to be the buzz word to run around with because it makes me wonder if you care for the music at all, or is it just about the numbers? 1 1

I do care about the music, the charts don't matter to me. But it's true that the numbers for both artists increased -because- of the additional content they have both put out throughout the week. That has no bearing on my enjoyment of the music, it's just a simple observation. Billie's album makes me feel the way I felt when I heard OK Computer or Ray of Light — like I'm blessed to get to experience such a work of art. That's not gonna change with a #2 or a #1 peak, that doesn't matter to me. 4

Love this because it's the exact same for me. I put HMHAS right there with NFR, Folklore, Lemonade, etc as modern masterpieces!!! 1
