Well, when the only people listening to your music are your fans, there comes a time when they simply slow down and don't listen as much.

We are not talking about Gaga here. Taylor's albums have album shown longevity, hits or not. 

Chromatical was OUT-OUT of the charts in 2020 itself despite having a Ariana hit. While 2020's folklore-evermore are still smashing on the charts.

What % of that is thanks to BOAF? 20%? 30%

 

Edit: it's actually 38%

Girl how many threads did Switfties make about Cruel Summer last year? Now we're supposed to find it impressive that Fortnight flopped and isn't carrying TTPD?

Gather HA! The last time Taylor had a lil hit album as big as Billie's was in ******* 2014. A decade ago! The audacity!

i'm sorry i love Billie but that's insane 

 

even Midnights is bigger than any Billie album

billie goats deserved to get these drags in

12M is 4 times more than Cowboy Carter which Beyonce just performed in front of millions of viewers. Will ATRL's mods let us talk about that instead of allowing haters to mock Taylor?

I can't wait for the meltdowns when HMHAS surpasses that playlist in total streams in a few months

2025 is not even here yet and you can't wait till something likely happening in... early 2026?  Everyone will have moved on by then, kinda like Lover passing WWAFAWDWG? not starting big gotcha moments despite being a heated topic in 2019.

Midnights and WWAFAWDWG are at virtually the same album units WW in 1/3 of the time.

No. I don't see how that's relevant. But you may get a WP for being off topic. Maybe you should create your own thread

 

happy new year ❤️

No one cares about those inflated units of her fanbase bulk buying. Is Midnights close to passing WWFA in streams?

Some trying to deflect, oh it's bad

It's less than 2 billion away while being almost 4 years more recent  "No one cares about those inflated units" seems like a natural reaction when not being able to sell albums, and this is with WWAFAWDWG having way more physical variants than Midnights so cue the "but mass buying!" rhetoric.

"No one cares about overall stats objectively proving your point, what about a very specific metric from one platform instead?" 

 

Midnights accumulated 10.2B streams in 2 years on Spotify. WFFA accumulated 11.7B streams in almost 6 years on Spotify. It doesn't take a mathematician to know which of the two albums has more impressive stats. 

 

Since you only care about streams on Spotify tho, do you acknowledge Lover is a bigger album than any Billie album, since it overtook WWFA on Spotify? Would love to have your thoughts without moving the goalpost!
