I find interesting how they are allowing some big names to openly fraud with cheap tactics yet they get offended over a fraud from Paris Hilton

Why would she wait until her 2nd week to do the fraud though?

Now I love Paris (2006) but who is purchasing a Paris Hilton album (and one THAT bad) in 2024? It wasn't realistic!

i downloaded it from the streaming service/digital store qobuz (thank you piracy programs) and i want my half an hour back :giraffe:

I thought the numbers seemed suspiciously high. Hopefully it actually isn't fraud but I'm curious to know what

When Paris uses questionable tactics it's "fraud", but when Travis, The Weeknd, Nicki, etc. manipulate the charts, Billboard turns a blind eye :toofunny3:

It's...ahem...qwhite interesting how you only mentioned black artists while conveniently ignoring the most discussed case of shameless, blatant chart manipulation this year with Taylor Swift's countless variants of "THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT". Or the regular Spotify autoplay package that's been benefitting Sabrina Carpenter, Tommy Richman, and Billie Eilish. Or Teddy Swims' "Lose Control" having several different versions and Warner somehow managing to make them all have a presence on the iTunes charts despite Swims lacking any prominent fanbase. Or Republic Records doing the same desperate tactics they pulled with The Weeknd's "Dancing In The Flames" for Ariana Grande's "yes, and?" earlier this year.

 

Nicki Minaj didn't even release anything this year outside of that "Big Foot" disaster, while Sabrina Carpenter played the same game as Travis Scott during their first week battle for the Billboard 200 #1. 

 

If there's anyone getting away with questionable tactics and manipulating the charts, it really isn't any of the three you mentioned, especially in comparison to someone like Swift. Hell, surprised you said nothing about the mass buying and sketchy streaming tactics from k-pop stans , the latter which have been boosting the performance of Jimin's "Who" for months now.

 

No idea what happened with Paris Hilton's numbers, but this comment is very...coded. Yikes.

1. I didn't mention TS because I don't want the Swifties on my ass, but yes the same argument could apply to her as well. Not that it changes what I said about some artists getting a pass.

 

2. I'm half Black myself which I've alluded to before in passing such as yesterday in the Janet/Kamala thread, so don't even try to play the race card with me.

From "it's going top 10" to "OUT:skull:

 

It's ridiculous how they're preventing Paris from frauding yet they allow bigger artists to do it though
