The "gotcha" moment in question, "It's apparently gross for her to care about staying at #1 but totally cool for others to care about debuting at #1," is literally true? Why would you want one person to log 10 weeks at #1, potentially blocking 9 others from this achievement with material that they have invested time, energy, love, passion, money, and so much more into, when you could still have your #1 and allow 9 others to do the same—pleasing them, their fans, their communities, and the public on the whole. It's just bizarre. Even if this is all some kind of elaborate ruse to manufacture a false "bad reputation" prior to her dropping rep TV, that in itself is narcissistic and gross. She'd be willing to sacrifice Dua's, Billie's, Charli's, and so many other artists' moments just for the sake of not only benefiting her current album (TTPD) but also her next one (repTV)? Anyone genuinely supportive of this tactic really needs to find some better way to channel their energy and focus on achieving merits in their own life instead of living through another woman's takedowns of less omnipresent female artists. Hopefully, you're keeping that energy and paragraph by telling all the Olympic gold Medal winners to stop winning gold medals at the next Olympics 1

Same energy. You really thought you age with this analogy ijbol. The analogy also fails because once an olympian gets the gold, they don't keep trying for the silver and the bronze as well. Taylor isn't just happy with one week at the top, she has to get a second and a third, and as many as possible. Music creation at its core is not meant to be a competition. It's about making something that moves people, connects with people, that people can identify with and pass down to friends and family and future generations. Music is a sonic experience, an art form. Music is meant to be beautiful. Not a "game" or "competition" to be "won" or "lost". Get real. 1

Poor analogy and poor reading comprehension ijbol. Taylor does not need to be doing all this and she chooses to. If you identify with her practices that's your right to. I don't.

'Why would you want one person to log 10 weeks at #1, potentially blocking 9 others from this achievement with material that they have invested time, energy, love, passion, money, and so much more into, when you could still have your #1 and allow 9 others to do the same—pleasing them, their fans, their communities, and the public on the whole.

newaespa Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Music is not meant for competition yet being mad at TTPD being at #1, blocking BRAT How about you enjoy the music then, and stay away from chart? IJBOL 7

It's just bizarre.' I challenge you to highlight where any analogy to the olympics or any sports in general was made here. I proposed a hypothetical scenario in which Taylor could still be #1 and more artists could enjoy this accomplishment also. A win-win-win. Nobody is going to look back on this album and refer to it as the, "X-week UK #1 album TTPD." Simply being #1 is the relevant factor. Which is the exact thing she is robbing so many artists of.
Letemtalk Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Charli deserved the #1 more than the businesswoman did. But having the acclaim and a #2 album isn't bad.
Cloröx Posted June 15 Posted June 15 Give thread gives me so much confusion, charts don't matter yet same people having meltdown over Brat debuting at #2. I love a lot of excellent indie records and I don't even check their commercial performance. Only God Was Above Us is my personal AOTY yet I don't even know where it debut or peak on charts. 2 2

You have no life, you're a sad human being who gets off whenever your favourite mentally ill artist gets a new achievement for her mediocre album that has no substance lyrically and musically. You feel like it belongs to you because you belong to her group of obsessed die-hards who have no purpose in life but blindly stan a corporate artist who has no ounce of respect to her fans or to the music world whatsoever. At least I enjoy the music I listen to, while you are the one forcing themselves and lying to themselves, thinking the music they listen to has even an ounce of quality of the Teletubbies theme song. You think her fraudulent achievements are worth bragging about, but child, me and all other mentally sane people just are laughing at your delusions. Take a couple seats, because you and your worthless life won't ever be taken seriously by any sane human being on this forum. Girl... 2 5

Arrows Posted June 15 Posted June 15 6 hours ago, CovalentBondage said: The way you and her fans miss the point. Staying #1 is not the issue if it's organic. Releasing another scam variant that offers nothing but a digital voice memo is the issue. Taylor would've still been 1# organically this week.

I kinda don't, but cherry-picking a portion of my post to have a "gotcha" moment isn't going to make what I said any less true. Music charts are going to exist whether I personally care for them or not. Charli's album connected with a lot of people and was massively acclaimed by critics (which I don't really care about) and fans (which I definitely do care about) alike. It's weird to see the impact that album had this past week not officially recognised specifically due to machinations by Taylor's label and fanbase (Taylor herself isn't even a problem). And yes, I'm aware that Taylor would have been #1 without the digital albums, but it's no secret that Taylor fans have been dragging Charli all week and buying/streaming TTPD in an attempt to block her due to feeling "slighted" by "Sympathy is a knife". Congrats on the successful takedown of another woman tho, ig?

We are talking about Charli XCX she has never been a mainstream artist. Sales or chart position don't matter to her or her brand Edited June 15 by Clauss 1
NextBish90 Posted June 15 Posted June 15 At this point I'm thinking her and her team are the ones buying her album. This is not even music, she is so scared of her downfall and she is just excelerating the process. Maybe she got mad at Charlie too, because Charlie said she doesn't want to see TS and this is the immediate revenge. 1
