West Side Story spent 54 weeks at number 1.

Thriller is the second one, with 37 weeks at number 1 methinks.

What the heck  ok. That's not happening. Sorry TTPD.

Can't say you haven't tried!

 

Maybe it had something to do with the fact that it was 11th week since the release, so a majority of the base didn't have any cash left after she drained you for 10 weeks straight?

I think you're getting things confused. An artist being a flop doesn't stop them from having a cult-like following. Stupid Love only reached as high as it did because her cult-like fanbase pushed the song that high, just like Chromatica, a complete bomb, debuted with respectable numbers before it disappeared from every chart in the world. Or how this site would make you think the Chromatica Ball movie wasn't some kind of bomb with a whopping 3 reviews on RT

No, Stupid Love debuted with those numbers because she came off A Star Is Born and Shallow, it made sense that people checked out what she served. They respectfully declined, though 

 

You're the one who's confusing things here. Every fanbase will go hard for their fave, but not every fanbase is cult-like. There's a certain level of fanaticism with Swifties, Barbz and BTS Army that separates them from others.

Then why is Cowboy Carter the most frontloaded album of the year that is tumbling down every chart faster than shorter albums from khias like Benson Boone despite having 30 tracks?

Bey is not the topic of discussion!

 

But since you asked. Cowboy Carter only has 27 tracks, with 24 counting as regular streams, not 31 songs like other albums, which now includes brand new versions like voice memos, bonus tracks, and live versions. Let's get the facts correct!!!!!!!

 

Next, I'm not sure why I'm supposed to be shocked that a new GEN-Z streaming act would be doing better than the 42-year-old woman in the 25th year of her career who released an album that is SO far removed from her Urban/R&B audience while trying to appeal to the most racist and unwelcoming music listeners ever. Not even adding to the fact that she hasn't done an ounce of promotion since the release of said album   

 

Bey is not worried about the amount of streams her songs do, or how many weeks at #1 she can achieve like some others clearly are. But I'm glad Bey is the first thing on your mind whenever someone says anything slightly negative about Taylor!!

Well, I just think it's hilarious you're trying to exclude Gaga from that group just because she's a flop

I wouldn't expect a Swiftie to be capable of carrying a normal conversation anyway.

Y'all gonna ruin another thread with the same dumb fights about long albums like, don't you get bored?

How's Morgan that stable with both albums? Dangerous was already pulling 30k-ish and it's now back in the 40k range. 

It's not as implores dive as you think. Sza is also doing 40k every week, and Taylor has like 8 albums doing 20k every week. 
 

so if he has 6 or 10 albums, and arent 40 tracks long, then he'd be doing 15-20k every week on his projects as well 

[Bloodflowers.]

Twenty One Pilots 

 

Returning back to their roots paid off. Artistry always wins! 

 

Let me stream Next Semester

I'll say that it's obvious that Taylor has GP support

 

But if you read anywhere online the way people talk about HMHAS and TTPD would make you think those numbers should be inverted, everyone loves Billie right now even more than in 2019.

 

There is just too many swifties that will keep Taylor on top no matter what, also most swifties only listen to Taylor, that would explain why Lover is still so insanely high  

You stupidity is astounding. 
 

taylor holds the records for most listeners on Spotify, AM, and Amazon music.

 

You can't name one artist with bigger listenership than Taylor. She has the hugest  audience period. So this  braindead "gpt vs fanbase" classification or pathetic offhand attempt is completely pointless. 100 million+ listeners is bigger than Billie's 75m however you put it. 
 

Simply put, you're dumber than the phone you're typing your message on. 

 

[Beyoncei]

For those of you mentioning Beyoncé when she is no doubt your favs idol remember a few things other than that. 

 

Cowboy Carter has not been promoted, performed, there's no music video, current tour, current beef, album variants with 1 extra song… 
 

Plus she is the most unluckiest person to ever live and always gets kidnapped post album release. Poor thing

The Weeknd has more listeners you stupid hillbilly animal lol

 

Also In a fan of Taylor but Billie is more well liked by the GP right now

 

Ever since TTPD dropped a lot of people turned on Taylor tbh.

The rage spiral when you say 31 > 10 

 

[Katamari]

top  

[Disconnect]

HERE WE GOO TOP!!

 

I wanted #1 though 

[Both Sides Now]

Will Taylor ever slow down?  

 

I had thought TTPD presented a risk of her plateauing. Firstly because the 31 tracks felt like a slog and secondly because there doesn't seem to be a true hit presenting itself. I may be wrong by the numbers but Fortnight doesn't feel like Anti-Hero (or even Karma tbh - but we'll see how Broken Heart goes).
 

As a fan, I wish TTPD actually presented some kind of a decline because I found the quality to be really disappointing. Still, the numbers are sky high regardless… I'm bewildered!

Are you trying to imply that Swifties > THEE GP?

Honestly kind of

 

Taylor and the fanbase are a complete anomaly that should he studied for generations in marketing and music education 

 

The fact that she sells 90% physical than all other artists and right now is not exactly going through an era were the album is universally loved is insane

 

This is a good thing cause she will never flop and the success will always be insane

 

But the nature of this is something never seen before

[byzantium]

I can't believe if it were not for new releases, Morgan Wallen would have the top 2. 

[chiliam]

Chappel Roan top 20. She needs to use the hype to release sth. Actually if the album is not ready, then should re release midwest and put goodluck babe on there.

Such a good album, deserve to have a new life.

 

[chiliam]

At this rate the two morgan album will be top 2 most week inside top 20 albums lol. He might snatch Taylor wig at AOTDecade if she didnt release TET boxscore.

"only has 27 tracks" is a WILD thing to say.

Also it being 27 or 60 doesn't make a difference when some of them get similar streams to a Zara Larsson album track.

Or maybe Taylor's haters are just loud.

And maybe Billie's supporters are not really supporters but are just Taylor's hater 🙃.

How can they fade after Stressed Out if they had multiple hits after.
