One is doing 10x more promo than the other. I'll let you guess which is which. Yeah, but who's the one who deliberately labeled the song "country" for the sake of controversy, and is seemingly going to continue releasing remixes? What does the "country" label have anything to do with promo this week? And tbh, Lil Nas X releasing remixes down the road is another "lmao moment". Let's be real here, we know Lil Nas X is a chart troll and he doesn't want anyone interrupting his time at #1. But at least Lil Nas X's promo is going into a song that has it's own strong legs to stand on. |

It might just be me, but Im holding Taylor Swift to a different standard than the meme rapper Tweet decker who was completely unknown 2 months ago. |

People still argue that his removal from the country charts is racist, so it goes to show that his labeling still has an effect. "ME!" already had strong legs to stand on. Anyone calling it a flop or even a weak song would be pretty delusional. |

If Taylor does promo - ridiculous, desperate. If Lil Nas X does promo - awesome. One is doing 10x more promo than the other. I'll let you guess which is which. Taylor. That's why I said it was ridiculous and desperate. |

Swift's song is new and she's also a major star, so it makes sense she would have done more promo in the past week. Lil Nas X isn't going to have those same opportunities as a new artist. He's also hustling for himself, which makes sense for someone on the come up. The reality is both are being pretty shameless, but don't hate the player, hate the game.

WHEW! LMAO. The stans... Anyhow @drakeisskinny ... Has "In My Feelings" been certified yet? Should it be around 6-8x platinum? Sadly no, drake waits till the release of his albums to update all his certifications at once |

OTR was #1 without Billy Rae, that’s the main difference.

Lmao Taylor needs to discount the song to $0.25
Why do I feel she's still going to be #2 at the end of this

Regardless, it'll be a really strong Top 2.

I think she's going to pull this off. There's still 1 day left plus she's gaining crazy in airplay. No wonder Nas X is shitting himself. |

"Me!" will trail "OTR" in airplay. And a few hundred/thousand copies of some physical singles isn't going to make a huge difference. It needed to be a really tight race for that to push her over, but if predictions are correct "OTR" is pretty far ahead. |

Digital songs have a minimum price of $0.39 during their first three months of release. This came about as a consequence of the album Born This Way being sold for $0.99 at Amazon. |

Just heard "Talk" and it's pretty cool, as is the music video. I didn't know Khalid made fun music. Not an attack either, this is simply the first song of his I heard that isn't mellow.
