It being discounted doesn't mean much, it could actually be bad for them discounting it now 

How?

Yes, sales do not mean that much these days but it's still a boost. I think it's great they discount the OG version now. Next week they can do it with the Bieber one .

The fact it's taking 2 versions of 1 song to dethrone 1 mariah song

But wasn't there a rule that said only the version charting would the the one counted or something like that?

I hate Taylor but can she just release SOMETHING so that D*sp*c*t* is dethroned

The point is that Taylor usually makes a big campaign for her first singles but she has been silent.

Mariah is crying somewhere with her phat puss and yummy bf. how could she cope?

I think it's the version that has a higher percentage of sales/streams during the tracking week.

 

edit: you should ask an expert of charts lol

Mess, I just thought only the remix counted because of some rule there was a few years ago about only counting the remixes if that's the one played or something like that

It'll still break the record and you will just have to DEAL with it  

I wish Mariah's record was safe but it's game over for her now

The fact that One Sweet Day is a duet by the two biggest musical acts at the time and it is getting dethroned by a Spanish song.

It's not Fonsi 's fault if people buy and stream two versions of a song. That means people is really into Despacito.

Ah, now everyone wants Taylor to be their savior. Leave our queen alone, most of you guys don't even like her. Why should she save you?

just like the lambs pretending that One Sweet Day was a solo Mariah song and that she owns the record herself. 

 

The next 3 weeks shall be fun. 

Wait, Wild Thoughts has TWO versions discounted.  If it doesn't get #1 this week, I don't know when it's supposed to happen!  

In my opinion, Despacito will tie the record but it won't break it.

It's coming
