I must be blind. I'm not seeing any desperation from Selena and certainly nowhere near to the desperation of Bieber and his "stream while you sleep using a VPN because #2 is #1 loser" campaign. All I've seen from Selena is "I'd like to be #1, so please stream, but if I don't get it, no big deal." Those are vastly different and it's bothering me a lot that the two are even being put in the same "desperate" conversation. What sort of sexism?

It's tacky I don't see anyone saying it's on the same level but it still doesn't look good. Am I sexist for thinking that? I don't think she's the first artist to do this and I cringe at all stars when they pull this s**t Justin literally reached new heights of desperation it literally takes doing like 1/10th of all his stunts to be tacky we should not give everyone else a pass. neither of them are doing new s**t lol, and none of this matters or is worth getting angry about it any way possible but like we are on a music forum lol of course it will be talked about and compared.

It's tacky to promote your music and ask your fans to listen to it? I disagree. I honestly think it would he super weird if a musician dropped a song or album and didn't ask their fans to stream it to do well. That's... what they want, no? I just don't see it as desperate even remotely.
But to be clear, I wasn't taking a stab at you, snarks. I actually find it way more problematic coming from Roddy. The joke was funny with Bieber, this time it feels assholeish because Selena was not requesting streams in the same way as Bieber. I've also seen plenty of comments badmouthing Selena in the Hot 100 thread and I wanted to make a comment about it here (since it has nothing to do with the Hot 100 but what else is new over there).

On a side note, I think Dance Again is being used for some NBA ad or so that's what I thought it was from the tv in my break room at work
Get that commercial promo sis Dance Again is that bitch

Hmm... UK isn't that big of a deal. I'm worried about the US numbers though. It was a tight race between Roddy and Selena yesterday.

Woah, only a 1k difference from Revival's first week sales. Not bad considering how bad the playlist reach was compared to other big female albums in recent memory.

With the sales that close, it's still up in the air on whether she'll be #1 on Billboard or not.

Make Ring next single with an EPIC video, please. Then, Vulnerable to close the era. Then, go away for a couple years and get ready for even more slayage.

After the Australian wildfires, people are selling nudes for far more problematic and troublesome events like Rare failing to go #1! 🅳🅸🆂🅲🅾 tagging you here cause you might be interested in giving Selena some album sales.

This album is the definition of "listenable background music at a party that nobody's paying attention to".
