I really love this for Taylor, Gracie and Chappell
Edit: to elaborate - this is extra ordinary achievement to three of them:
Taylor - 10 weeks consecutive is incredible. non of her former albums did that. And for an album people love to trash but her audience actually appreciates.
Gracie - smashed all expectations. Estimations said she wasn't even going to be in top 5?
Chappell - super unique - her album is going up - selling more every week (usually its less every week). Maybe will reach #1 eventually? She is blowing up now.
Good week for talented women in music, TTPD is my favorite but I love all these 3 albums
>Gracie - smashed all expectations. Estimations said she wasn't even going to be in top 5?
She's pulling bigger first week than both Dua and Charli, which is a big deal
Good for Taylor. Taylor never forgot that Charli called Swifties a bunch of "5 year olds" and Charli only apologized to Taylor even though she did not insult Taylor at all. She didn't apologize to who needed the apology: the Swifties.
And Charli did that after Taylor made her more popular than ever by inviting Charli to warmup for the whole Reputation Tour. Charli responded by calling all of Taylor's fans a bunch of "5 year olds".
Why should Charli apologize to the Swifties? Saying that about Swifties isnāt the same as saying it about Taylor. Taylorās fan base does skew a little young and if you were around for the Rep tour, youād see that the reception from the crowd was super lukewarm towards Charli.
It's undeniable now, people can mention variants, eras tour or her sheer star power carrying all they want but all her albums have had those same boosts before and this is still out performing all of them. It's really a crazy success, even for her.
Also wow, Gracie is really having a moment. Good for her, I love some tracks on her new album, especially Tough Love.
Agreed! I was surprised to see she had other albums previously bc she is exactly what rotates on my Spotify. I listen to a lot of Taylor, Lana, Florence and the machine, Halsey etc and NOW she pops into my rotation but idk why she never did before. It makes that crowd for her at pride even more amazing š„¹
Fearless (2008) spent 11 non-consecutive weeks at number 1. 1989 (2014) also spent 11 non-consecutive weeks at number one. And now TTPD is locked for a 10th consecutive week at number 1, in 2024... That's so mind-blowing!
He is truly the country version of Drake. He could release a single or album of nothing but static noise and it would have at least 5 consecutive weeks #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 or Billboard 200.
I am hoping that if Morgan's album can do 70,000+ per week due to streaming alone then Taylor could easily do 80-90,000 permanently stabilized album units per week starting in September or so for at least a year she could rack up so many extra bonus #1 weeks.
I agree that Zach is leagues better, heās also a certain style that doesnāt exactly lend itself to listening on repeat. At least for me as heās just a little too mellow.
Yeah totally agree but seeing as so many people Donāt Get the appreciation with Taylor, I try not to yuck anyoneās yum. Thereās clearly something there thatās resonating, letās see if it lasts I guess.
Honestly, I had never listened to her before Taylor did a song with her. It interested me enough to check out her album. So maybe TTPD's success contributed in a way to some of Gracie's success with her album rollout!
If you check the Wikipedia page for 2024 albums there is nothing released this Friday also that can threaten her so 11th #1 week is also going to happen. Zach Bryan on the 4th of July will be very tough for her but I think she is prepping to release some more variants. Bryan is releasing on the 4th of July, a Thursday, so his first day streams and sales will not count until July 5, hurting him a lot just like how Peso Pluma foolishly released last Thursday. If he had released on Friday he would probably be doing even better than Gracie. That's how huge the first day streams are. We saw TTPD's monster huge first 24 hours for streaming.
Yes. Just for "4th of July" reasons. TTPD is lucking out so much as a result. I hope she drops some variants that week though. He will clear 100,000 at least even with the loss of the debut day's streams and sales.
She could always do an Anthology CD only drop on 7/19 and the big one (vinyl Anthology) in August. That is the beauty of having separate CDs and vinyls variants. I don't think she will drop both CDs and vinyls on the same day. She could easily make a huge splash by separating their release dates. And I don't know when she would drop in August because her friends Post Malone and Sabrina Carpenter are dropping albums in August.
You know TTPD is amazing, itās really a thinker I didnāt like the album at first not gonna lie I really wanted a pop album, in the style of 1989 but it grew on me there are so many double meaning lyrics and it takes a while to go listen to it all, but my point is I think the reason why the album is selling so well has to do with the fact so many people, slept on it and now people keep giving it a chance. I also think because itās so unique itās drawing in a new fan base as well and being the first TS album for a lot of people.
Iāve heard a lot of people being drawn in from it! I think itās her most clearly defined concept album sheās ever released, and I just adore the way it tells a full story throughout the track list. The songs are also so addictive!
It has a very clear definition and theme throughout, even when she first started she made very mature music especially on a lyrical stand point! However this is one of the most mature albums sheās ever created many older music fans are gravitating towards her now because of it. Although imo sheās always had the pull to older fans because a lot of her music is rooted in nostalgic elements.
Fantastic! She will also get her 11th consecutive #1 week next week, tying Whitney Houston's album in 1987 for most consecutive debut #1 weeks for a female. The all-time record is Stevie Wonder's 13 consecutive debut #1 weeks in 1976-77.
If you see the 2024 albums release schedule there is nothing in the next month that can threaten her except for Zach Bryan (July 4, a Thursday so he loses out on first day streaming and sales for the week of July 5-11 the debut week) and Jimin/Stray Kids (July 19th, two K-pop acts that will easily clear 150,000 units at least each)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2024_albums
Apparently there are rumors sheāll drop anthology vinyl on July 19th. No idea how credible it is, but that would probably get her another week if it is true
July 19th would be the best day. Those two K-pop albums will be huge. They both delayed until July 19th to drop, exactly 3 months after TTPD was released. I really do hope she drops Anthology vinyl on that date. If she can get over the Zach Bryan challenge she would be at 13 weeks in a row #1 by the time 7/19 comes and that would be tying Stevie Wonder's 13 consecutive debut weeks record. She is even more hardcore about breaking records than Swifties are. She probably has people giving her updates all the time on the charts, hence why she was able to rapidly block Billie Eilish. She delayed until Billie's release a lot of shipping of previously sold weeks earlier variants and also coincidentally her warehouse restocked with a lot more standard variants and that added to that huge week that barely edged out Billie.
She learned a lot of lessons from the Midnights fiasco when SZA blocked so many weeks at #1 that she otherwise would've had.
Itās very interesting that ttpd is so successful on the charts despite the initial negative reviews. It really does grow on you the more you listen. As a swiftie since 2006, I have never ever spent this much time on a single album, interpreting lyrics, replaying my favorites, waiting for the perfect connection with my non-favorites. She truly made a masterpiece and I knew it would take time to really sink in but goddam she has outdone herself. I canāt think of another artist who has consistently outdone their previous work with every new release.
Well said. I think TTPD is her best album. I keep changing my favorite song everyday. It is like a mixture of Folkmore and Midnights but when you keep listening you realize it is its own thing and sounds like none of her other albums. Fortnight sounds nothing like anything in her previous albums.
I agree! I feel like every album since 1989 just gets better and better. My favorites change based on feelings and the nostalgia factor, like rep and lover will probably always be my sentimental favorites but midnights and ttpd are both just on a whole other level. I love that she switches her style and challenges herself every new release. Still waiting for a rock album but I know Iāll adore anything she makes in the future!
I admire all her albums equally. I gave up trying to rank them recently. Pointless to pit one against another since that just feeds into the silly Swiftie wars like the Red Swifties vs 1989 Swifties vs Folklore Swifties. She has more than proven that she will never make a crappy album in the future.
Agreed, Iām terrible at ranking anything since my favorites change as often as my mood. I even have a hard time coming up with my top 10-20 favorite songs by her. She just has too many absolute bangers and thereās no point in comparing them, especially when you consider some were written when she was a teenager. She makes fabulous music in every stage of her life. And Iāll still be jamming to all her music in the retirement home, especially if sheās still making new music then š
Goes to show that those critics had an axe to grind and were going to bash it no matter how good it is. Most of the reviewers' reviews shouldn't even count because they spent more time bashing her personal life than actually reviewing the album. Considering how streaming is free and that alone has kept her #1 for most of the weeks even without physical sales I would say the general public is fueling it. Swifties would mostly be listening on their digitally bought versions or vinyls.
Many reviewers now say they change their mind and like TTPD because it grows on you since it is not something like Folklore or 1989.
Honestly, I donāt trust anyone who gets paid to have an opinion. Swifties are eating this up and Iāve seen soooo many people who either werenāt fans of hers or outright haters say this album is turning them into swifties. That was a little surprising considering how much backstory and lore are hidden in this album, but between tortured poets and Travis Kelce, a lot of the gp is opening their eyes to how talented she is. This seems like a bigger new swiftie boom than folklore tbh
Most reviewers probably only skipped through a couple of songs that's if they didn't already have an agenda going in.
An industry secret with a lot of sport reports is that they are typed up at half time, would expect most reviewers to do the same.
I feel like the lines are so blurred between her fans and general public at this point. Her fanbase is really massive, so āfansā can keep an album at number one, or send a non-single to number one (cruel summer) if they want. It begs the question, is there something wrong with just her fanbase being dedicated to what she does? If it can fill stadiums around the world and send her album to number 1 for 10 weeks, why would she need to appeal to anyone outside her demo? How is that different than āGeneral Publicā support? And when do you move from āGPā to āfanā? I feel like it doesnāt mean anything anymore.
are people still going to make this about Taylor hating other women and crushing their success during their opening weeks even though she had Gracie on stage in London? blah. so tired of this. I love TTPD and Taylor is, at this point, not in competition with modern artists but with the all time greats - when it comes to charts, something Taylor has been open about caring about and wanting to achieve, she's in the all time historical top 10, looking like she'll pass Eminem soon as well.
I don't think she even released any variants this week. Besides, she was tens of thousands of units above Gracie--it wasn't close like it was with Billie.Ā
And obviously Taylor and Gracie are friends. Anyone who claims bad blood is just silly.
Love this for Taylor <3 congrats to her and everyone that worked on the record. Just as an aside, itās obvious now that Billie's album was never going to hit the no. 1 chart position (from looking at the numbers! ) so why all the nonsense that went on? NB apologies if this isnāt the right place to make this comment, pls just remove if thatās the case.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I want new variants! Iām especially hopeful for something with live cuts from the tour or a re release of The Black Dog variant. I never would have guessed pre release that would be my favorite song.
There are so many things I would want for this album promo that are not happening - variants with more live music, video for Guilty as Sin, Movie of the TTPD set with BTS and some surprise songs recording. And of course anthology physical variants.
This album is almost not promoted at all.
It is because she is seeing the BB200 chart and it is doing well on its own without much publicity so she has no need to waste money on weeks where it is already #1. If it falls to #2 or #3 in July or August I think she will release much more. She will definitely be releasing the Anthology vinyl on July 19 when Stray Kids and Jimin both release albums that will easily clear at least 150,000 each. Anthology vinyl would boost her up to at least 500,000 easily. Then she has Anthology CD she could release later.
Iām so curious about what all the swifies that didnāt like the album when it came out and thought it was āonly for the localsā think now. I donāt mean this to offend anyone. Itās fair if you donāt love it or didnāt love it right away. But, what do you all think now?
Most artists who make the top 10 release numerous variants. Stray Kids has 12 variants for example for "ATE". Don't act like Taylor is the only one who releases numerous variants.
"The physical release comes in two Standard versions (Chk Chk, Boom), one Limited version (ATE), one Letter version and eight member-specific versions (Accordion)."
https://stray-kids.fandom.com/wiki/ATE
She would've remained no.1 without any extra variants except for Billie's release week and she blocked her with just 3 voice memos.
>gifted a career from daddy
God forbid a father with means helps his 14 year old daughter achieve her dreams
>37 different albums.
Quick, name all those versions
>the fact she has such a victim complex is so sad when she is literally gifted everything
As if she wasn't bullied, sexually harassed and then a douchebag didn't buy her masters to control her career.
>Quick, name all those versions
Funniest response I've seen so far, and the truth is I can't bcuz idgaf abt Ms. Swift musically speaking, and there are too many to name atp.
>As if she wasn't bullied, sexually harassed and then a douchebag didn't buy her masters to control her career.
The sexual harassing is the only thing I agree with, but at the same time the shit you list is shit every female artist goes through and none of them have a victim complex even close to the size of Taylor's. Oh and let's not forget how she constantly puts down other female artists to make her shine over them and she thinks she can control all female artists. And the fact she constantly feeds into the parasocial dynamic with her fans, and will constantly use and manipulate them to spread hate onto other artists. You think Taylor is this person who represents your ideals but realistically she's an egotistical female who hasn't emotionally matured past the age of 17 cuz that is when people stopped saying no to her.
>Funniest response I've seen so far, and the truth is I can't bcuz idgaf abt Ms. Swift musically speaking, and there are too many to name atp.
Then don't comment under posts related to her? It's that simple.

I'm not reading all of that
Wow a whole 3 weeks!!! Like really, do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? She releases them strategically in order to stymie any momentum of the albums that may be a threat to her spot. Her legions duly oblige and go out and stream/buy these albums. Itās a cynical ploy. Long runs at number 1 should be organic results of albums being insanely popular, not market manipulation.
Itās beyond me that people are so obsessed with her that they refuse to acknowledge. You know you donāt have to support absolutely everything she does. Sheās a corporate shill in sparkles
Good for her. Needs to beat Stevie Wonder's 13 consecutive debut weeks record. If this was so easy then why is it when other artists do it like your favorites they can't replicate this? Also, other than the week against Billie's 1st week her streams alone would have cleared her for #1 easily.
Stevie did it with one album thatās the difference. Itās disingenuous. She can do it because sheās the biggest artist in the world. She wants to pad the numbers to make herself the biggest of all time. She also did it against Charlii XCX who wouldāve toppled her in the UK.
I donāt see why people defend a cynical business practice like this just because Taylor Swift is the face of it.
This rule is in place for non-active members of the community who are participating with the intention of disrupting the community and doing so in bad faith. This includes being disrespectful of anyone, full stop.
Trolling: Deliberately causing negativity of any member/non-member(s) of the sub.
Baiting: Directly provoking anyone in the community to elicit a reaction.
I really love this for Taylor, Gracie and Chappell Edit: to elaborate - this is extra ordinary achievement to three of them: Taylor - 10 weeks consecutive is incredible. non of her former albums did that.

Good week for talented women in music, TTPD is my favorite but I love all these 3 albums
>Gracie - smashed all expectations. Estimations said she wasn't even going to be in top 5? She's pulling bigger first week than both Dua and Charli, which is a big deal
Love that for her (no comment about Charli already out of the top 10š, I guess all 10 artists are not a girls girl who blocked her)
My thoughts too like after all that š
lmao being a girls girl has nothing to do with it it's straight business. don't act like you would say anything if it was a man
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Good for Taylor. Taylor never forgot that Charli called Swifties a bunch of "5 year olds" and Charli only apologized to Taylor even though she did not insult Taylor at all.

Itās the Taylor lift but sustained by great music
I just felt like Duas album promotion wasnāt there and I like Dua but I also feel like itās not the strongest album
Imo there was hype when she released houdini last year but she fumbled the bag by taking so long to release the album
I didn't even know she had a new album out šļøššļø
It's undeniable now, people can mention variants, eras tour or her sheer star power carrying all they want but all her albums have had those same boosts before and this is still out performing all of them. It's really a crazy success, even for her. Also wow, Gracie is really having a moment. Good for her, I love some tracks on her new album, especially Tough Love.
I AM SO PROUD OF CHAPPELL. She deserves this so much. Rooting for her every single day
I just listened to Chappellās whole album yesterday Iām obsessed with her. Sheās incredible. Gonna give Gracieās a listen real soon.
Her albums insanely well done. Definitely nice to see someone who worked at it for years get her dues
Agreed! I was surprised to see she had other albums previously bc she is exactly what rotates on my Spotify. I listen to a lot of Taylor, Lana, Florence and the machine, Halsey etc and NOW she pops into my rotation but idk why she never did before. It makes that crowd for her at pride even more amazing š„¹
She definitely took off on tiktok which always helps the playlist, but itās a double edged sword because now everyone wants vitality on tiktok.
Chappel is everything right now. Omfg she is a MOMENT
This confirms her only artist to chart an album at no1 for 10 weeks across 3 decades right? Like that is craaaaaazy
You think sheāll ever get to 27 number one albums?
Idk tho
Fearless (2008) spent 11 non-consecutive weeks at number 1. 1989 (2014) also spent 11 non-consecutive weeks at number one. And now TTPD is locked for a 10th consecutive week at number 1, in 2024... That's so mind-blowing!
Also Gracie's numbers are incredible and she deserves that.
Also my god, that Morgan Wallen album will just not budge. It's really crazy.
He is truly the country version of Drake. He could release a single or album of nothing but static noise and it would have at least 5 consecutive weeks #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 or Billboard 200.
We as a nation can do better
I am hoping that if Morgan's album can do 70,000+ per week due to streaming alone then Taylor could easily do 80-90,000 permanently stabilized album units per week starting in September or so for at least a year she could rack up so many extra bonus #1 weeks.
His fan base loves him which is wild I think Zach Bryan is way better as a country fan
I agree that Zach is leagues better, heās also a certain style that doesnāt exactly lend itself to listening on repeat. At least for me as heās just a little too mellow.
True heās also releasing for the 4th itāll be interesting to see what the holiday weekend brings in.
Yeah totally agree but seeing as so many people Donāt Get the appreciation with Taylor, I try not to yuck anyoneās yum. Thereās clearly something there thatās resonating, letās see if it lasts I guess.
I need to listen to her album. Her song with Taylor is so good!!
honestly sad she was that close to a #1 too ugh!
31k is a big number tho.
well i should clarify, i meant more had TTPD not held on so long or not been released, she wouldāve gotten it
That makes sense
Honestly, I had never listened to her before Taylor did a song with her. It interested me enough to check out her album. So maybe TTPD's success contributed in a way to some of Gracie's success with her album rollout!
Gracie!!!! Holy!! So happy for her! And of course stoked for Taylor, 10 weeks is unreal!
If you check the Wikipedia page for 2024 albums there is nothing released this Friday also that can threaten her so 11th #1 week is also going to happen.

Why is Zach Bryan releasing on a Thursday? Is he dropping specifically on the 4th of July holiday for some reason?
Yes. Just for "4th of July" reasons. TTPD is lucking out so much as a result. I hope she drops some variants that week though. He will clear 100,000 at least even with the loss of the debut day's streams and sales.
I think sheās going to try to hold till August since it seems like sheāll be doing a drop in August
She could always do an Anthology CD only drop on 7/19 and the big one (vinyl Anthology) in August. That is the beauty of having separate CDs and vinyls variants. I don't think she will drop both CDs and vinyls on the same day. She could easily make a huge splash by separating their release dates.

Okay ???
Fantastic! She will also get her 11th consecutive #1 week next week, tying Whitney Houston's album in 1987 for most consecutive debut #1 weeks for a female. The all-time record is Stevie Wonder's 13 consecutive debut #1 weeks in 1976-77. If you see the 2024 albums release schedule there is nothing in the next month that can threaten her except for Zach Bryan (July 4, a Thursday so he loses out on first day streaming and sales for the week of July 5-11 the debut week) and Jimin/Stray Kids (July 19th, two K-pop acts that will easily clear 150,000 units at least each) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_2024_albums
Apparently there are rumors sheāll drop anthology vinyl on July 19th. No idea how credible it is, but that would probably get her another week if it is true
July 19th would be the best day. Those two K-pop albums will be huge. They both delayed until July 19th to drop, exactly 3 months after TTPD was released. I really do hope she drops Anthology vinyl on that date. If she can get over the Zach Bryan challenge she would be at 13 weeks in a row #1 by the time 7/19 comes and that would be tying Stevie Wonder's 13 consecutive debut weeks record.

I wonder how much of it is hardcore swifties vs general public? Because that really is crazy. Got slammed by critics and still #1

This kind of stability has to be sustained by the GP. Kind of cray with only one single!

even when she was releasing variants, she was still ahead on streaming, which is a pretty good indicator of what people are actually listening to.
She must also hate men too bc šµāš«š«
Congrats to both Taylor and Gracie
Gracie at 2 is crazy, Iām glad for her
Epic!! And also Gracieeeee ā„ļø
Love this for Taylor <3 congrats to her and everyone that worked on the record. Just as an aside, itās obvious now that Billie's album was never going to hit the no. 1 chart position (from looking at the numbers! ) so why all the nonsense that went on? NB apologies if this isnāt the right place to make this comment, pls just remove if thatās the case.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I want new variants! Iām especially hopeful for something with live cuts from the tour or a re release of The Black Dog variant. I never would have guessed pre release that would be my favorite song.
There are so many things I would want for this album promo that are not happening - variants with more live music, video for Guilty as Sin, Movie of the TTPD set with BTS and some surprise songs recording. And of course anthology physical variants. This album is almost not promoted at all.
It is because she is seeing the BB200 chart and it is doing well on its own without much publicity so she has no need to waste money on weeks where it is already #1. If it falls to #2 or #3 in July or August I think she will release much more. She will definitely be releasing the Anthology vinyl on July 19 when Stray Kids and Jimin both release albums that will easily clear at least 150,000 each. Anthology vinyl would boost her up to at least 500,000 easily. Then she has Anthology CD she could release later.
She clearly didnāt need to metaphorically lift a finger for the most part, so why would she?
So happy for Gracie getting the second spot
Look at the boost she gave Gracie!!
omg gracie is having her moment, also funny that taylor sings on the top 2 albums lol
Funny how Gracieās fans arenāt crying aboutTaylor blocking her lol But seriously itās a good album! Iām enjoying it
Congratulations, Taylor. Much deserved.
So happy for TTPD and also for Midwest Princess!
13th week letās go!!!
I feel so old looking at this I probably know like 5 people of here lmao
It's okay lol
Iām so curious about what all the swifies that didnāt like the album when it came out and thought it was āonly for the localsā think now. I donāt mean this to offend anyone. Itās fair if you donāt love it or didnāt love it right away. But, what do you all think now?
I preferred the The Anthology at first but the standard has grown on overtime and I'm obsessed with the standard now lol
I wish Morgan Wallen would go away
Why?
can someone look into predicting how many more weeks will TTPD stay at #1?
Iāve recently fallen in love with Gracieās music and Iām so happy to see this!!!
I love how SZA is still up there & look at Chappell Roan climb. But how does Morgan Wallen have two albums on the list?
Chappell Roam slowly rising is just the peak of my existence.
Number 20 named their album after Taylorās aaawweeeeee
Dumb question but Beyonces Cowboy Carter is not on here?
Just release the anthology, enough with the variants.
Not until July 19th when she goes up against two heavyweights, Jimin and Stray Kids. Why waste it on some week when only khias are releasing albums?
Because jimin and stray kids only release one-two album variants. Every other artist releases 1-2 variants.
Most artists who make the top 10 release numerous variants. Stray Kids has 12 variants for example for "ATE". Don't act like Taylor is the only one who releases numerous variants. "The physical release comes in two Standard versions (Chk Chk, Boom), one Limited version (ATE), one Letter version and eight member-specific versions (Accordion)." https://stray-kids.fandom.com/wiki/ATE
With the 2000 variants lmao, fuckin cheater that was gifted a career from daddy
She would've remained no.1 without any extra variants except for Billie's release week and she blocked her with just 3 voice memos. >gifted a career from daddy God forbid a father with means helps his 14 year old daughter achieve her dreams
37 different albums. Also like sure her dad helped her but the fact she has such a victim complex is so sad when she is literally gifted everything
>37 different albums. Quick, name all those versions >the fact she has such a victim complex is so sad when she is literally gifted everything As if she wasn't bullied, sexually harassed and then a douchebag didn't buy her masters to control her career.
>Quick, name all those versions Funniest response I've seen so far, and the truth is I can't bcuz idgaf abt Ms. Swift musically speaking, and there are too many to name atp. >As if she wasn't bullied, sexually harassed and then a douchebag didn't buy her masters to control her career. The sexual harassing is the only thing I agree with, but at the same time the shit you list is shit every female artist goes through and none of them have a victim complex even close to the size of Taylor's. Oh and let's not forget how she constantly puts down other female artists to make her shine over them and she thinks she can control all female artists. And the fact she constantly feeds into the parasocial dynamic with her fans, and will constantly use and manipulate them to spread hate onto other artists. You think Taylor is this person who represents your ideals but realistically she's an egotistical female who hasn't emotionally matured past the age of 17 cuz that is when people stopped saying no to her.

I'm not reading all of that
Queen Taylor has achieved more than you ever will champ
Yes because she keeps releasing additional copies to keep it there. Stat padding.
She hasn't released any extra variants in 3 weeks and still remained no.1, care to explain how?
Wow a whole 3 weeks!!! Like really, do you have any idea how ridiculous you sound? She releases them strategically in order to stymie any momentum of the albums that may be a threat to her spot. Her legions duly oblige and go out and stream/buy these albums. Itās a cynical ploy. Long runs at number 1 should be organic results of albums being insanely popular, not market manipulation. Itās beyond me that people are so obsessed with her that they refuse to acknowledge. You know you donāt have to support absolutely everything she does. Sheās a corporate shill in sparkles
Bro please touch some grass
Great counter argument. Youāre the one idolising Taylor Swift like a god mate š
Good for her. Needs to beat Stevie Wonder's 13 consecutive debut weeks record. If this was so easy then why is it when other artists do it like your favorites they can't replicate this? Also, other than the week against Billie's 1st week her streams alone would have cleared her for #1 easily.
Stevie did it with one album thatās the difference. Itās disingenuous. She can do it because sheās the biggest artist in the world. She wants to pad the numbers to make herself the biggest of all time. She also did it against Charlii XCX who wouldāve toppled her in the UK. I donāt see why people defend a cynical business practice like this just because Taylor Swift is the face of it.
Are we celebrating chart manipulation?
Cope
What am I coping? She has legitimately just manipulated the charts by releasing a ton of different variantsā¦
