The source is literally right there.

You know livies are running out of arguments when they have to bring up Sabrina's first albums... albums everyone knows were complete flops.

One single of that era had more longevity than all 4 singles from GUTS.

I compared each song's 400th day, not their current daily streams. If your point is that Spotify streams are generally higher in 2025 than they were in 2021, I also included their chart positions to make the comparison fairer. Manchild is charting around the same positions that the SOUR singles were on their respective 400th days. And vampire's 400th day was in 2024, when Spotify streaming was peaking, yet it wasn't charting at all.

Yesterday marked the 400th day of Manchild. The single has already surpassed 1 billion streams on Spotify and is still pulling over 1.7 million streams daily. Day 400: Manchild — 1,778,562 (#67) good 4 u — 1,572,175 (#70) drivers license — 1,478,590 (#62) deja vu — 1,179,971 (#96) traitor — 1,325,975 (#79) vampire — not charting Not that this means Manchild is the biggest song among these of course, but did its longevity surprise you?

Because Manchild had a shaky start, but it ended up becoming a long-lasting hit, whereas Olivia's singles usually debut much bigger but are far more frontloaded. 400th day: Manchild — 1,778,562 good 4 u — 1,572,175 drivers license — 1,478,590 deja vu — 1,179,971 vampire — not charting None of the yspsfagsil singles are bigger than Manchild. They were already in freefall before getting a boost from her newer releases.

A nearly 1,000-post thread. People only care because it's Taylor. Any A-list celebrity has at least some distant connection to someone who sucks, but it would only become a huge controversy if it involved Taylor. Thankfully, at the end of the day, none of this really matters. Taylor will continue to live rent-free in people's minds, remain successful and be the biggest and most relevant figure in entertainment.

That's a you problem. Grow a personality and stop letting other people dictate what you enjoy then.

She ain't outstreaming Taylor in July either. Spotify Top Artists Jul. 3, 2026 #3 (=) Taylor Swift #5 (-1) Olivia Rodrigo

Taylor continues to outperform both legacy and new-generation female artists despite their new releases. What went right for Swift?

Spotify Global Artists: #3 Taylor Swift #18 Madonna Spotify Global Songs: #18 Taylor Swift - The Fate of Ophelia #51 Taylor Swift - I Knew It, I Knew You #60 Madonna - Danceteria #166 Madonna - Bring Your Love Taylor won.

Adele has both a strong catalogue and good current consumption, similar to Gaga.

Ophelia >>>> Abracadabra I Knew It I Knew You >>>> Runway

I'm pretty sure those aren't records.

And on Apple Music too: TTPD HMHAS

Someone said Fantano was being paid to push a certain agenda… repeatedly criticizing Taylor, constantly pushing Olivia Rodrigo as the better alternative, and dragging up a sample credit controversy from 5 years ago. Then Olivia gives him an exclusive interview lmao. And it's not like he's Pitchfork or The New York Times. He's simply a Twitter/Reddit music critic that doesn't exist outside those circles. Now everything makes even more sense.

Shouldn't This Used to Be My Playground be on the list?

No. This is very Bad Liar/Julia Michaels monologue-style songwriting. Say what you want about Selena Gomez, but that song really set the tone for a lot of what came after. And Skinny Dipping was actually written by Julia Michaels.

If you knew her songs, you couldn't be surprised. No Creo: I don't believe in Venus or Mars I don't believe in Carlos Marx I don't believe in Jean-Paul Sartre I don't believe in Brian Weiss Don't Bother: For you, I'd give up all I own And move to a communist country If you came with me, of course

Oh, I was genuinely asking. Either way, you're wrong. Cruel Summer went viral and became a multi-week solo #1 smash thanks to live performances during Taylor's own tour. And by the way, she is the best-selling singles artist of the last decade, back when organic pure sales were still thing like you mentioned.

How Shallow went #1? I think it wasn't very strong in airplay.

Because it's the main song of this masterpiece:

Exactly. I've never seen a critic go this hard for one artist while constantly taking shots at another. Not to mention that most of his arguments revolve around variants and songwriting credits, which are the same tired sh1t stan Twitter and Reddit have been repeating for years. Seriously, it's a new video about this stuff every week. Why the hell is a critic talking about a sample credit dispute from five years ago?

Two singles have been out for a few weeks now and neither has really connected with the general public. The third single Stupid Song saw a pretty noticeable drop on its second day. The album is putting up solid numbers, which is to be expected given her loyal fanbase, but calling it a cultural force feels like a stretch.
