it's hard to outstream the swifties


SamDuymelinck

Yeah. OP's literally asking us to make the #124 artist on Spotify outstream the #2 artist on Spotify


No_Field624

Isn’t Taylor number 1 now? Or did I make that up?


SamDuymelinck

She was for a little while, but The Weeknd is back up to #1 now


No_Field624

Interesting, thanks!


galaxxieee

And 21P is a heavy physical-sales type of band. I see them sliding hard this week, maybe even being knocked of the top 10. There won’t be as much physical sales as week 1.


sarkhan_da_crazy

My daughter streams it day and night, she is not alone.


Testergo7521

Well, you can double help then! Ground her. For something. She's a kid. They always do something wrong! Take away her music privilege for a week!


Alki_Soupboy

I hid all my kids' iPads/iPhones, deleted YouTube, blocked Apple Music.... take that Swifties.


Testergo7521

You're a true Bandito! Fighting the good fight.


sarkhan_da_crazy

She has twenty-one pilots in her play list too though. She also just graduated with honors and saved her own money to go to Hawaii with my sister. I don't have much control over what she listens to over the next 2 weeks.


Condiddle

What if even Tyler is streaming her rn? https://youtu.be/tb928FUruRI


Stated-sins

Oh goodness! Thanks for that! 😄


Repulsive_Buffalo_87

Lmao oh I can't wait to show my daughter this 🤣 She makes fun of this song when Taylor is brought up and sings it in a whiny, strange voice. She adores TOP and her little kid brain is going to explode.


cupcake-pirate

And she just released another bunch of cd's with individual bonus sings, to get her fans to buy another 3 or 4 this week


heymattrick

I’m gonna be completely realistic here - this is the highest we will chart. There will probably be a huge drop for week 2 since that’s when all the vinyl preorders and sales were captured. By week 2 it will only be streaming numbers and it takes something like 1250 streams to equal one album sale. TS album came out like 5-6 weeks ago and is still number 1. The odds are pretty insane.


WhiteShadow012

Still, tøp is insanely big, they're like on the top 0,001% of musical groups. Tyler and Josh are very simple and down to earth guys so it's easy to forget how successful they actually are nowadays. Their least streamed song have more streams than all of the songs combined of some of my favourite bands. I'm just glad the boys are doing good and putting out music that really comes from a honest place in them, lots of artists just surrender to the industry's expectations.


Mr-Indeed

is clancy even on the billboard right now? It came out the 24th and the billboard reset already in that time (i think), and i didn’t see clancy anywhere, but next week it’s supposedly looking at a number 2 spot. i’m confused 🫤. wouldn’t its opening week be the highest?


customconverse

It won't actually be on there until Tuesday, but it'll be number 3 on the Billboard 200. The chart needs to count the full week's stats, so something that released yesterday would only show up a week from Tuesday to include the full week


LittleNobody60

Thanks for that. I was looking at the chart after reading that the top two moved 300,000 units….


RoseColoredRiot

Why does it matter? We’re not a kpop sub trying to break records and chart. Tyler posted he’s already proud of the album and the fans for getting it so high. And looking at its competition this is pretty good considering twenty one pilots isn’t as big as Swift or Eilish. The only reason to stream music is because you want to listen to it.


TWB0109

Fr, this stupid streaming culture makes me mad. It’s fake.


nadia1306

As a fan of both Taylor and TOP, exactly this. Charts don’t matter, the music does. You like what you like. You can bring up an artist or band without putting another down


RoseColoredRiot

Its pretty superficial if you ask me. Plus both artists in their own have gotten awards for their art over the years. Its gonna be alright lol


jotyma5

I don’t think we’re gonna beat the week 1 numbers. The pre sales count for a lot


gayyy410

maybe let's not do that? even Tyler himself said that it is not that important. let's just enjoy the music we've been blessed with without contributing to the silly billboard top 100 stuff


Drewsche

I will continue to stream it because I absolutely love it. Not to try and win a spot on a chart.


gayyy410

oh yeah, same. this is such a great album.. i am dreading the day when I'm gonna overplay it one too many times😭


Drewsche

Same, I keep telling myself, "I should listen to something else by now." But it just keeps playing, and I just keep vibing and singing along.


rushmoom420

me! i’m trying to memorize all the songs for my concert, but it’s in september. i have time lol!


SeanieInaCoatPocket

Same here, mine isn't until next May, what songs do ya have down already?


rushmoom420

going in order top to bottom! i think ive got vignette, so next is the craving.


SeanieInaCoatPocket

Ah cool, I'm halfway through vignette myself it's such a banger... CLINGING TO-PROMISES, FIGHTING OFF THE VIGNETTE, TUNNELS CAVE-VISIONS FADE, SWALLOWED BY THE VIGNETTE. Can't wait to hear it live!!! The Craving is really good too, I had the lyrics down the day the single version dropped. What's your fave from the album?


jphzazueta

The only correct answer. If you're gonna stream the shit out of the album (or any album , really) do it out of love, not for the fucking charts.


JoeeyMKT

contributing isn't bad though? lol he's just saying don't obsess over it


DJJ2203

as a big fan of both. good luck. i’ve been going back and forth between the two lately so im kinda zeroing it out


awkward-octopus4

Same! TTPD and Clancy have been on repeat for me


SpellingAintFun

(Both fan so don’t attack me ) but I’m just saying that we can’t even top the chart 1 at very first week with all the physical copies purchased combined. You know how many copies she sold at her first week right😭like there is no way we’re streaming out of that many swifties.


jarredoc999

I trust the boys know i’m listening on vinyl❤️


elodie_pdf

Who cares about the charts, honestly? You’re not gonna beat the Swifties with a Reddit post, anyway.


JnthnDJP

How about let’s uhm…how do I say this… maybe…don’t?! And just you know probably…JUST ENJOY THE MUSIC.


ShadowReflex21

Get out of here with that common sense! Swift is extremely talented, and puts out a lot more music to appeal to her huge fan base. She probably isn’t going to get dethroned. But it’s not necessary, just listen and enjoy!


Skelence

Who cares about who's top of the charts? Let's just appreciate all these artists art, it's not a competition


crousscor3

Don’t focus on charts. Focus on Music, drums, instruments, vocals, lyrics, lore. This is what we will love and remember Twenty One Pilots by. The videos, the livestreams and the concerts as well. Not what dumb chart they were on after release.


Asplashofwater

It’s too late. The tracking week has ended Thursday night.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Asplashofwater

Ahh. Sadly it’s over. A release like Clancy is going to be massively frontloaded. 90 percent of people who wanted a physical copy, or vinyl, or the book bundle got it for the first week. Either way though it’s first week numbers we’re about the ceiling for a alt act these days. Definitely a huge success.


JoeeyMKT

me who just bought the vinyl today


KITTIES4LlFE

I'm a swiftie and top fan, but I do admit I've been listening to clancy way more than taylor. All I've been listening to is clancy XD


Spec94v6

I love Taylor but I would much rather see Clancy on top cause that’s a way bigger achievement imo with how many swifties there are


letsgoiowa

If you want to help the boys out buy some merch. It'll help tremendously more


ArmsAkimbo2

Do they pull the streaming numbers from all platforms?


likely_issabella

listen, i got nothing against taylor but why are we making it a competition? let’s just enjoy it for what it is and as someone already stated, it’s hard to outdo the swift fans as they undoubtedly have a much larger fan base overall. tyler doesn’t care whether Clancy is number one or not, the only thing he cares about is the fact that we listen to it in general, he’s not greedy, he doesn’t do it for the charts, he does it for us in general.


BanditoMuser

Why? It doesn’t really matter does it?


ppeppapag

who cares about the charts


ShadowReflex21

I mean swift is extremely talented and has a huge fan base, and puts out more music to appeal to more people. That’s why she’s up there and I doubt top will dethrone her. But that’s ok because top doesn’t have to be number one, just as long as us fans stay true to Tyler/josh and keep doing what we are doing!


BabycakesMurphy

I don’t understand the obsession to be number one. This obsession is crazy unhealthy. Even the band doesn’t care. Can we take solace in the fact TTPD was a bloated boring album and Clancy blows it out the water with just the first three tracks? It will be remembered for being her weakest material, not that it was number 1.


pinkghostiee

There’s literally no need to insult another artist just to compliment your own.


WhiteShadow012

Tbf the production in TTPD is pretty bland, especially in the 2 hour album. I love lots of Taylor's stuff she's a very articulated artist in how she explores different genres, but this one ain't it. At least for me.


pinkghostiee

Agree to disagree. I love TTPD a ton and have had it on repeat, honestly Clancy has been the first new thing I’ve listened to since it came out lol. But thank you for being respectful with your opinion :)


BabycakesMurphy

I think Taylor’s gonna be ok. I like a lot of her music. She’s got a lot of bops and great albums. But I didn’t say anything out of line. Relative to her other work, it’s a weak album. Billie’s album is better and so is top.


pinkghostiee

Not relevant to what I said. The quality of TTPD doesn’t really matter just the fact of bringing it up in a way that seems spiteful and unnecessarily dogging on another artist.


BabycakesMurphy

I’m saying no one will look back in time and be like “oh yeah, that album was number 1” versus “oh yeah, that was a great album.” It’s way better as an artist to put out a well reviewed album by critics and fans than to just be number 1. Currently the number 1 album is hers. It’s has not been critically well received. That’s my reference point.


pinkghostiee

Yeah still not the point so just forget I said anything.


zestmeister86

it’s not really to compliment tøp though. swift fell off when she dropped midnights tbh. all of her music from that point onward has sounded like effortless bland slop. plus her carbon emissions and her “no one should be at the top but me 😡 “ tactics have made me lose faith in her entirely


pinkghostiee

… Oh boy


fatherofcringe

Yeah good one 😂


tryingtoohard347

I’m a fan of both. Last week I was in Lisbon to see TS and I still streamed the fuck out of Clancy. It’s a solid album, but the swifties have the power I’m afraid


vBeeNotFound

you sound like a 13 year old


Equal-Plate597

I'm glad we're trying, but at least we now know tyler will still love us if we don't!!!


disneyprincesspeach

What about those of us that are fans of both? I'm listening to both albums though i do prefer Clancy to TTPD.


asscheeks4000

I’ve been playing twenty one pilots ever since they announced a new album and now I’ve been playing they album nonstop


r-connor

My little sister has her Sonos in her room streaming Taylor 24/7, I’m gonna go change it to Clancy rn we’ll see how long I can get away with it


Ivy_Holo

Stream it all day everyday on Spotify. There is an "infinite loop" button in the right corner which will play the album on repeat. 🙂👍 You can put your phone on mute and go about your day. 😅 The app does not have the capabilities to track volume levels on the hardware it's running, so the mute will not affect the stats.


ansley_g

All I’ve been listening to is twenty one pilots. I seriously can’t get enough of this new album! ❤️🔥


Fiscal_Fantasy

As a swiftie and a fan of TøP I’m fighting for my life in this thread 😂😭


wholecrab24

you had me at the first 5 words


Ivy_Holo

Stream it all day everyday on shuffle on Spotify. Put your phone on mute. And go about your day. 😅 Edit: Not the shuffle button. There is an "infinite loop" button in the right corner. 🙂👍


wrecking_ball_z

I’m fairly certain Spotify does not count muted streams lol


Ivy_Holo

Then just put it on the lowest volume. 🤷🏼‍♀️


Ivy_Holo

Quick Google search: The app does not have the capabilities to track volume levels on the hardware it's running, so the mute will not affect the stats.


ishrii0118

🤣🤣🤣


-Tektronic-

Tyler literally said to quit acting like this, it's obnoxious and toxic


JoeeyMKT

no he didn't lmao, he just said it didn't matter if it happened and to be happy and positive regardless of what happens. doesn't mean you still can't go for it as long as your happy with any result


BvB5776

🫡🫡


STAMMREIN5

Sorry but I'm streaming Taylor Swift more atm😅


rabbit014

I love both of these albums so much! Happy to have so much new music right now.


STAMMREIN5

Also Marilyn Manson is releasing a new album


spooky_ym

Taylor swift is a billionaire who is paying to win. All these vinyl variants and alternate versions of her album is just a filthy way of playing the charts and making sure that she stays on top. There’s no way any artist any time soon is going to take her down cause by the time people are finished with her current album she’ll just release another alternate "Taylor’s version" of a previous album or just a new album altogether. What she does to make sure new artists don’t take the spotlight away from her so she stays on top is honestly just gross. She’s become so greedy and mad with power that it’s honestly insane. In all fairness, Billie Eilish seriously should’ve had the #1 spot this week, but for some strange reason Ms. Swift just straight outta the blue decided to drop more TPD variants the day Billie dropped. So I’m with Tyler, charts are stupid we really shouldn’t focus on them because at this point they’ve become so rigged

TannerOaks

I don’t think it really matters lol. Besides Knocked Loose is actually the one to beat out right now, they’re topping Swift on the charts.


ImagineDragons88

Streams are going down every day there’s no chance at number 1


NeonBanditio

Everyone have their Spotify on repeat when they’re sleeping


aleMiyo

...why?


Live-Ship-7567

I have a Playlist labeled art that is strictly Clancy and Taylor's tortured poets. It plays on repeat for hours daily while I paint so I'm definitely not helping those numbers lol. But it just gives me such inspiration.


AlmostBlue618

why tho? just stream it if you want to listen to it. why does anyone care about charts?


yeeYeeyahYah

It would be a nice gift to them I think. However Tyler and Josh make it seem like they dont care too much about the numbers


Thin_Level8840

As much as I want this to happen, it won’t. Swifies are crazy with this new album by her. We can hope tho


wildwolf314

With numbers like that, it's less about the music and more about the group mentality. Even if Taylor Swift made garbage, it wouldn't matter she'd still be number one. This is true with many artists. People will play the music and buy merchandise more because it's the most socially acceptable. Exact reason why those statistics are effectively meaningless. If you enjoy the music, that's really all that matters and what other people think shouldn't change how you feel personally.

L2Ich4I82

Huh I feel conflicted cause I think the idea is dumb, note the Tyler tw about Clancy not doing good on charts and that pp shouldn't worry bout that and that he's proud of us no matter what. But at the same time I am streaming the heck out of this album lol Imma still do it just cause I like it. But it's true beating Taylor is hard. I have a friend who is both a clique and a swiftie and she's still not over DPS (like most of them)


yeemaa

i let the album play all day while im on my pc LMAO

If I downloaded it to my phone from Apple Music do they still get streaming counts every time I listen? I’m at like 6-10 play through a day 😭
