base talk Billie's HMHAS doubling Taylor's TTPD daily streams, surprised?

[YellowRibbon]

By some comments on this thread I can conclude that "Taylor's cult" is bigger than the General Public

Probably the one with 3x as many albums  

This argument is so stupid 

 

Sorry that Taylor's career started when Billie was like 5 or 6 years old? 

[Digitalism]

My only problem with swifties defending this is that TTPD is an awful album. Why would some of you praise some horrible music just because it sold a lot?And as this shows yall are not even listening, yall put your 20 variants on a shelf. 

And I don't like it because yall rewarding her for being mediocre. I want good music again from her and this will just make her lazy.

It's so stupid that your problem with swifties is something subjective. The album is horrible to you. It's kinda obvious that the people listening to it enjoy listening to it and now what?

Cute that you can't read what's on the link, it explains a lot about you 

 

[John Slayne]

HMHAS is when arts meets charts  which is difficult to do, not everybody can do that

@Riot Please add a source to the OP.

 

And if you're talking about only the standard edition, fix the number of tracks.

You can change those easily. At this point, I expect anything from people that buy 24 copies of the same album. If only you streamed 24X as much too

It's genuinely wild that some of you still don't get that your opinion of the album is hyperbolically negative.

 

People with physical and digital copies who are listening to said copies don't register as Spotify streams.

 

This weird conspiracy theory that Swifties don't actually like the music or are Stockholm Syndroming themselves is just so strange. I can't. 

[Loca]

This stompage will repeat at the Grammys too, by the way

I don't have to change links to prove that Taylor is successful, maybe you have to do that for your own fav and you know the tricks already

What is this thread about? Streams are not subjective, swifties are not playing the album.

5M streams = not playing the album. Some of you have to be dumb on purpose, I swear 

[Just a Gay on ATRL]

HMHAS is the much better album and the one actually leaving a lasting impression on the average music listener. Several songs from that album have gone viral or keep getting a high amount of streams months later.

 

TTPD is more or less being streamed by people who are ride or die swifties regardless of what she releases at this point, but it's obvious that none of the songs from that album have actually stuck with casual listeners.  Her fanbase is so damn large at this point it's hard to tell the difference now but these numbers are telling the true story about its lasting impact.

But saying "I wonder if the 20 year old career or the 7 year old career has more streams" isn't stupid?

It is, that's why you don't catch me saying that

 

 

But I'm glad you agree both are stupid

How did TTPD drop to 5.7M daily streams? I thought it was doing 10M before the holiday season started? 

[shoganai]

Billie has gen z really on her feet huh

It's ATRL's favorite ChartMasters Spotify tool; you can see that it's the anthology version since the total streaming numbers refer to the 31 tracks.

Part of it is the Christmas Day drop, given the specific day this thread is reporting on.

This site (which is horribly designed for mobile ) doesn't show me the numbers you just referenced and I don't see where to get them. Can you please generate the relevant report and add a screenshot to the OP, post the same info from a tweet, whatever? Thanks.

So she'll be back to regular numbers come January. See Taylor dragging is an art it takes practice and precision. What a flop thread!

[4Real]

5M for 31 songs is TRAGIC  But i'm happy this one flopped, she needs to do better.
