as opposed to Swift's daily streams which means less people are listening over and over. 

More like it means Taylor has so many relevant songs 

 

90M people listening 20 songs > 90M people listening 5 songs after all

Some people getting defensive  Nobody is dragging Taylor ffs. Is Taylor your guys' basis of your own self-worth?

Bingo

"Nobody cares, this metric is irrelevant!" the Swifties angrily type as one artist surpasses their fave in it. Like clockwork.

Exactly, never heard a swiftie saying it was irrelevant while their favorite was on top.

It's very evident in this thread who likes Taylor as an artist and who likes Taylor for her metrics

So now number of daily streams is because of the number of songs but when it's about how many streams her latest album has compared to someone like Billie it's no longer because of the number of songs? 

 

The stompage is your lack of logic. The stompage is also you comparing Taylor Swift's 14 studio albums and re-recordings released with lead singles and promoted as new studio albums with videos and massive Spotify promo to Gaga's six. Also, I'm pretty sure there were "she's so massive, biggest artist in the world" when Taylor broke the monthly listeners record or reached 100 million but now it's irrelevant because someone else is on top.

I love how a Chartmasters opinion piece (which I didn't know they have) is the ONLY source listed for "others also don't care!!!!11!!!1!!11!" 

 

OT: Yes Gaga, yes ascendancy

14 successful studio albums compared to Gaga's 3, yes. It is not Taylor's problem that she can release successful albums back to back unlike Gaga.

Spotify itself doesn't care either because all of its charts are based on streams as we can quickly check

Gaga experimented with her sound and wasn't in her safe lane all the time which contributed to varying quality but she wasn't afraid to use her peak - one of the biggest of all time may I add - to spread a message and promote the LGBTQ+ community like few have and lost a lot of her popularity. Taylor, however, uses the peak of her popularity, which is also one of the biggest in music history, to stay in her safe lane in order to not lose any of her success and therefore hasn't experimented too much. 

 

And monthly listeners do matter for the industry which is why whenever someone breaks the monthly listeners record there's articles about it from big sources. It's also worth noting that had Spotify not cared about this they wouldn't have put it front and center on the artist page and would instead opt to add "daily streams" or number of listeners per album.

Liddos acting like the reason of Chromatica, Joanne and likes flopping is the risks they have taken will always be hilarious to me

The fanbase didn't want a Joanne. That's not why anyone fell in love with her. Chromatica was fine though but Liddos love her for her dark bops and her outfits. Would you love Taylor if she suddenly stopped writing her music or made dance pop or made music like Britney? Many of her fans wouldn't like that. It was a risk doing an album like Joanne for an audience that fell for you doing dance pop.

Spotify doesn't care yet takes enough time to include the monthly listener stat on every artist page with every update. 

 

If it was truly irrelevant, they would've just...not tracked it???? 

 

 

NO daily album streams chart yet every fanbase STILL tracks it and uses daily albums streams as a clock when convenient

 

 

Guess it's only irrelevant when it's inconvenient 

 

OT: Streaming elixir!

Taylor went from Fearless-Speak Now to 1989-Reputation to Folklore-Evermore. Her fans liked them tho because they were well made.

This is great. Taylor swift is imo one of the best and most consistent pop stars of a generation, and currently the biggest pop star. Lady GaGa repeaking again in pop music is great for music . Gaga has her huge moments with TF/TFM/ BTW and ASIB. This seems to be another one. And when I mean huge moments I mean shooting up to the highest level of pop stardom along with the biggest stars of that year. I am proud of them both, love that hard working talented pop girlies are seeing success.

There's a major shift in both image and music from TFM to Joanne than there is from 1989 to Folklore. Not comparable at all.
