This is a masterclass on how to spin sth into a much bigger deal than what it actually is lmao Ofc her millions of devoted fans will check out her new album regardless of its genre. That doesn't mean they suddenly love said genre, they just love their fave.

This is a masterclass on how to spin sth positive into a drag. They never said 36 million people love country music; just 36 million people listen to country music for the first time

Only by insane radio payola, which Taylor actually occupies half of the top 20 biggest negative bullets in radio history. If you think it's something to brag about

There's a difference between "hmmmm I like this country song.. let me check out the genre" and "oooohh girl, my fave Beyonce has a new album.. I heard it's country". The banner implies the former happened when it didn't (for the most part at least).

ICDIWABH will pass THE's total streams soon. Time to accept Beyoncé's "success" is all smoke and mirrors 

 

OT: First and last time it seems

"BUT SHE'S OUT OF THE TOP 100 ARTIST ON SPOTIFY"

 

"COWBOY CARTER ISN'T ON THE BILLBOARD CHARTS"

 

"SHE HASN'T BEEN RELEVANT IN YEARS"

 

"SHE SHOULDN'T BE NO. 1 GREATEST POP STAR"

 

[RobynYoBank]

Did they remember to stream Cowboy Carter?

And where did they all go after the first week? 

So all of the album's 1.5B streams were from the first week? Greatest Popstar of the 21st century indeed.

THE ALBUM ONLY HAS 1.5 BILLION STREAMS??

Considering that she's one of the top 5 selling female artists of this year, people clearly came back for more after the first listen 

Did they? Cowboy Carter is no where to be found in the entire top 200 weekly top streamed albums  

[Into The Void]

The way some people are salty over a list should be studied

[LVP]

The fact the thread is full of bitter Swifites instead of Liddos proves that the certain list matters

[Chris]

The way the usual ran to this thread.

 

Sheesh.

You've been on this forum too long to still be stuck in your "go girl give us nothing" era.

I mean considering that the album is eligible for platinum, they clearly did

 

Y'all wanna have all this mouth about numbers because your mediocre fave wasn't ranked as #1 and talent actually won. Here's some tissue for your salty white ass tears

It's so funny to me because wasn't his balding ass in a tour thread hoping that she would come to ghetto Brazil?

Not this thread being infested with seething and troll posts by the usual suspects, ouuu I see that #2 will sting for a while 

 

Congrats Beyonce, see when you are fearless and daring you bring your fans along and expand their musical horizons. Only the greatest popstar of the 21st century

Wait  Talking about some "Only has 1.5B streams???" knowing he contributed. 

[AshleyLovescats887]

Really happy for Beyoncé, she deserves all the success 

 

Not to drag or anything, but i wonder how popular country music is gonna be in 2025, considering that we are gonna get 'The right person will stay' and 'Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version)'

[truthteller]

cool fact but we dont need country music to be any more popular

[HASHTAGPOW]

Why is this thread infested by #2ers?

For a fanbase that has nothing but charts to brag about, yall are conveniently blind to the fact that Beyonce has sold more than 350 million records and one is the best selling female artists ever. 

 

But Taylor's only as relevant as her last gimmick so an all-encompassing career berth understandably isn't your forte.

Always you.

 

Clearly they know people listened to OTHER country artists as well, like the featured ones on her album who all saw success, big and small after the album. For instance, the #1 song in the country for the last 19 weeks is sang by the feature on CC and before it he barely could get the audience he wanted. She propelled A Bar Song to the forefront by visibility of who he was and his music did the rest.
