WILDFLOWER 72 weeks on HOT 100 without radio payola

Ohhhhh they're not going to like this 😭

20m overall radio airplay is payola ? come on now

WILDFLOWER barely surpassed 18m audience on POP radio

Edited February 27Feb 27 by whatyouwant_

Im surprised no one has brought the fact that one song is 2 years old and the other the current promotional single at #1 on the charts

This is what I meant when I made the thread yesterday about Billboard hot 100 being completely meaningless now

Because more people are streaming Wildflower than Opalite, just like more people streaming Taylor Swift is the reason she has more monthly listeners and daily streams than Billie Eilish

Yes with her 20 albums and recently released album/singles

Did Opalite going #1 in Germany today take a toll?

It's #41 on streaming.

that comparing what is, essentially, Billies 4th biggest hit ever to Taylor's 12th is not the flex you think it is. Not to mention Billie being on her 3rd album and Taylor being on her 12th. Longevity is always harder to attain than ingenuity.

Wildflower is not Billie's 4th biggest hit tho. Birds, Bad Guy, Lovely, Ocean Eyes, Everything I Wanted, When The Party's Over, Happier Than Ever are all bigger right now.

Taylor has over 10 years and 15 more albums of music more than Billie. I would hope so.

organic demand vs quick lil loophole sales that Billboard will eventually solve but until then, you bet Taylor will squeeze it as much as she can

Taylor's so called "hits" just don't feel like hits. The fraud she does just makes it look that way

Opalite - 15 weeks in the Top 10

Wildflower - 13 weeks in the Top 40

Is this supposed to prove anything other than the fact that Billboard is completely irrelevant as far as music consumption is concerned? Considering Wildflower is the bigger hit in every metric other than pop radio?

Wildflower is a hit. Opalite isn't one.

Who cares, both are bigger hits that Abracadabra.

You could say Opalite shouldn't have gone #1 but to say it's not a hit is just objectively false

Because everything Billie releases is for the ages. And everything Taylor releases is like fast food.

Because in 2026, Billie Eilish is a bigger artist than Taylor Swift.

IFPI really exposed fraud & autoplayed streams of Wildflower as it wasn't even in top 20 songs of last year.

Fate of Ophelia got 4.5m streams yesterday that's still the main hit of the album

Abracadabra is still charting on Germany Official Charts (50 weeks btw)
Could Opalite ever pull that off?

I'd say it has a very good chance of doing so. Meanwhile

Week 20 on the Billboard Global 200

Opalite: #11

Abracadabra: #39

Wildflower is an actual hit. The other was forced fed by remixes

Opalite isnt a real hit, Wildflower is.

you do realise that Billie only has 3 albums right? And even then she managed to still make it to #4, whereas it took Taylor decades and like over a dozen albums to be #1. If I were a Billie hater, I'd be very afraid of what the future will bring, cause once she build outs her discography more no one will be safe…
