Wasn't there a week where she released limited edition variants of The Fate of Ophelia so it would've gotten an 11th week at #1 but it still didn't go #1...so embarrassing

Selling 1M in its first week - almost 50% of its total? Definitely. It shows it was fueled by 99c bundles

Only for the song to peak at #83

I still remember this. The thread of this song was such a kiiii

Thread was fun until Liddos and Livies downvoted every post mentioning their faves

It still would have gone #1 regardless, selling 600K–700K copies even without those Amazon deals.

1.108.000 - *430.000 = 678.000

The #2 album that week was This Is Country Music by Brad Paisley, selling 153,000 copies.

"Billboard is reporting that Amazon sold 430,000 copies of the $0.99 version of Lady Gaga's Born This Way during its two promotion days" source

That didn't fail tho, even though she was already #1 by a huge margin. It's actually one of the few times a label did not need to fuel an album's sales with shady tactics.

Tbh, these Taylor's fails only made her hunger and stronger (and her fans noticed and entered in the fight with her). she's at a point that there's no failure for her anymore.

So, maybe even hair failures didn't failed in the end

When Nicki gave out free Tidal codes to get her album, but everyone got other albums instead!

Everything Nicki ever does is embarrassing.

Even her marriage and child are embarrassing.

That user constantly being clocked left and right.

OT: Katy Perry's unprecedented Spotify promotional partnership for Witness.

The way this woman tries to block every single artist from getting a #1 needs to be studied.

39,7% is not the same as 50%. Stay in school kids!

Rounding and estimating is taught in grade 2! Someone didn't go to elementary school I fear

Correctly rounding 39,7% up (which is already a rounded number) would lead to 40%.

The Disco Balls for Katy Perry "Chained to the Rhythm" that nobody cared about

I forgot about those!

Knowing what we know now about the Witness era, the people that found those disco balls in public spaces should have warned us and called in a bomb threat.

I'm gonna whack my own fav real quick, but Bey and Jay adding Everything is Love after two days of a Tidal exclusive felt desperate given there's a whole lyric about her not putting Lemonade on streaming cause she doesn't care about streaming numbers.

Still one of her best bops. The lowkey flop of CTTR, her new look and Migos ruined it.
