This false  humbleness is really part of her trademark at this point.

Not her acting "blown away" that it remained at #1 for 12 weeks when she was releasing 90928387373 new variants everyday 

 

 

It's giving someone who buys themselves a present for Christmas and then acts surprised that there's something under the Christmas tree.

Well there needs to be demand and people need to buy those variants for them to go #1. If all it took was just dropping variants you best believe every artists were doing it

The fact she keeps track of this stuff is 

 

I doubt Adele even knows how many weeks 25 or 21 went #1 for 

 

Some people keep track of viral tweets to post on a Internet forum to get some kiiis, I think an artist being in the know of how their own career and projects are doing is not what you should be -ing at

[Minto]

this is giving nicki minaj unboxing those chanel bags that she bought for herself and acting surprised 

 

[georgechxng]

imagine releasing +70 variants in the spam of 3 months, actively blocking 628283 artists through cheap tactics, get media coverage over your desperate antics to get yourself a record and then proceeding to celebrate that record as if you hadn't put any effort into it  what a shameless demon

Why is it cringe when an artist tracks the numbers for their own projects but not when we (random people on the Internet) do it?

Both are pathetic.

[BlackJesus]

It's not hard to stay #1 when you release new variants every week and force the same people to buy the album over and over again.

Yes she absolutely does, and every artist is well aware of their commercial performance yall need to stop this narrative 

Do you have Adele on speaker phone?

 

Yall need to stop the narrative that you know what every artist does when you have no idea 

[Jay07]

Not her acting "blown away" when she was obsessively tracking sales every single week and strategically dropping the next pointless voice note variant out of 40 to block other artists.

Yes it would be making 100k Twitter accounts to like that tweet and post it here - but you didn't have the critical thinking skills to make that connection unfortunately. It's okay - critical thinking is a workable skill.

But... you literally just did that?

 

Commercial mainstream artists signed to major labels know and care about their commercial performance. To think otherwise is delusional.

The way you changed your statement from super specific to this vague ass statement so you could mould anything to fit your narrative 

 

Don't back pedal now

A skill you seem to be lacking, given the fact you think an artist caring about their own success is something to  over.

She can care about her success - when you sold 34 variants for it though it's giving lack of self awareness and humility.

 

But that will definitely be a point hard to process for you in your head so just let it fly over and do your thang gurl!

Her reaction :

[Orsay]

You're welcome everyone hates you now so hopefully it was worth it!

Except she's very much aware given the facts that 1. She has posted those variants on her own main channel multiple times and 2. she's literally thanking her fans who bought those copies in her IG post: "I'm completely blown away by what you've done" // "You're just the greatest".

She's being humble while at the same time acknowledging the source of her success. She's not acting like those 12 weeks at #1 came out of nowhere. But of course this doesn't fit your made up narrative about her.

The way I can just tell she has a list of other artists' chart records that she wants to break (and then act surprised when/if she does) 

[KillingYourCareer]

Release a great album that isn't uninspired and you can achieve that without having to rely on a group of obsessed fans buying multiple copies.

Genuine question but how many variants of this album has she released ?

Approximately 3.3 versions on average for each individual week she's been at #1

[Redstreak]

She's such a juggernaut  biggest career tour alongside her biggest career album

Yes let's ignore she would've been #1 on 10 of those weeks with streaming alone 

Ngl even though I don't like her at all and I think some of her ways are very..., I can't really discredit her because even with streaming numbers alone she'd be at #1 

[Bey'Knight]

Blown away indeed. It's not as though she was pulling strings, strategising and stratifying releases along the way to achieve this cumbersome feat. The gullibility of her bastion is mind-blowing, I'll give her that much. I'd say congrats but I don't think her cravings will ever be satiated.
