I was just stating the fact that he only beat a 6 year old live album by 1k AND he only did that cuz taylor's team didn't produce enough copies, had they made more, he would have lost the top spot. It's not the kii yall think it is against taylor. That's all i'm saying. You just quoted charts facts. So that's literally untrue. And you are a swifty so let's not even try and pretend. what's embarrassing is getting upset about it on atrl. 6
Yes, AND Posted Monday at 02:51 AM Posted Monday at 02:51 AM Her stans finally saying ENOUGH to the variants. Interesting.

Except this time her stans werent bothered. 1 1
Yes, AND Posted Monday at 02:59 AM Posted Monday at 02:59 AM 3 hours ago, Kimi said: I have to say physical sales are basically merch sales now, and it just rubs me the wrong way to count that as equal to pure music consumption. The way artists and fanbases abuse them should lead to some rule changes. ? The rules on merch changed 4 years ago. No merch bundles counted for a few years until a few months ago when minimal merch bundles were allowed to be counted again. The last album to truly benefit from merch was probably Chromatica.
Yes, AND Posted Monday at 03:02 AM Posted Monday at 03:02 AM 3 hours ago, Cruel Summer said: No, she didn't. The streak, as tracked by Billboard, is specifically for consecutive studio albums - otherwise, entries like Folklore LPSS, which charted separately at #3 when released on vinyl in 2023, would have ended it. Or this album itself, which already charted at #58 that same year. It's only inclusive of new studio releases and the rerecordings. He was talking about the streak, as recognized by ATRL. 1
georgechxng Posted Monday at 03:25 AM Posted Monday at 03:25 AM so that woman moved her release weeks earlier while also releasing 5 digital versions of it for nothing? i have to laugh. bad bunny defeated the evil. 1 10 2

Lmao what? They shipped a couple days earlier than the "ships on or before" date. Why do y'all just make things up out of literally nowhere to pretend she's doing something malicious?

His prerelease singles made it look like he was poised for an underperforming era, and instead he's smashing. Happier Than Ever (and Eternal Sunshine to the less extant) teas

No, the only reason Folklore was surprise released was so Taylor could benefit from the actual last week of bundles counting. Like it's such a blatant and ridiculous tactic infamous within stan culture, I'd think you as an atrl member would recall? Unless you are purposely playing ignorant and pretending Chromatica was as blatant with attempts to benefit off bundle. Here is the New York Times arrival all about folklores calculated release to correspond with bundles counting if you don't want to believe me. " Taylor Swift, who holds the No. 1 album for a second time with "Folklore," may be one of the last stars to benefit from Billboard's so-called bundling rule, which lets artists sell albums with merchandise or concert tickets. Long criticized for distorting the charts, that guideline is set to be curtailed in October. But Swift is also the last to gain an advantage from a lesser-known chart rule, one that is a bit of a brain-twister: the bundling of a physical album with a digital one." 1

Bad bunny getting the top spot by ONLY 1k is not the impressive achievement some of yall are making it out to be when he damn near lost the #1 spot to a LIVE ALBUM of a 6 YEAR OLD recording that was already released once before and almost outsold his BRAND NEW ALBUM with roughly an hour of sales + a few last minute streams of the digital version. If anything, I find it embarrassing for him that it was this close. But good for him I guess and good for you taylor haters who think this is some kinda lose for taylor lmao. How come this is not impressive for him??? It's an album completely in Spanish and this is quite rare to happen… in recent years only Bad Bunny and Karol G have achieved that Unclear if you are THAT stupid or is just pretending to be… Edited Monday at 06:23 AM by Hey Babes 1 1
