I'm just glad the Queens remix is doing so well on iTunes, so AIW can't back its way to another week at #1 with its mid-30's ranking on AM. BMS pretty much has this week at #1 on lock.

There's a chance, for sure, but it's FAR from "on lock".

[phieaglesfan712]

[Enigma.]

So, is The Queens Remix charting on Spotify?

Nowhere to be found, some with the other remixes.

it had the help of bulk buying for its primo peak. would've been outside the top 3 otherwise as it was heavily reliant on radio.

You're right about this, but good luck trying to convince those on here who seem to think Harry is some saint who can do no wrong. They were vocal about artists that benefitted from bulk buying (like BTS and Nicki Minaj) and songs that were heavily reliant on radio (like Easy On Me). However, when the shoe is on the other foot and Harry is benefitting from these things, they look the other way and pretend nothing is wrong. They’re perfectly fine with Watermelon Sugar benefitting from bulk sales (while whining about Move Ya Hips doing the same that very week) and As It Was getting at least the last 5 weeks at #1 through being heavily reliant on radio.

So, how is this any different from what you were calling out other people for doing just two days ago?

Me personally I have nothing against playing the chart game.

But where has this love for Harry Styles come from? I'm not just talking about on here, but everywhere. It's really strange. And seemed to come out of nowhere about a month before As It Was came out (nice coincidence, or genius marketing by his record label). It's not just that people like him as a pop star, but I've seen some VERY strong positive language around him even in the most vile parts of the Internet. People talk about him as if he's some kind of angel, even though none of them personally know him. It's more than "I love his songs", I keep seeing "He's such an incredible and talented person", "He has the most pure heart of anybody that I know", "He's the most beautiful and valiant man to walk this earth" types of comments. Was there some big story about him last year that I missed? Is it just because he wears women's clothes so people want to promote him so that other people copy him? I know loads of teenage girls fancied him 10 years ago but it has to be more than that and his previous songs and albums weren't this big. Also As It Was is like a watered down version of Blinding Lights, and this narrative about him started before the song was released anyway, so I don't think it's the song. Watermelon Sugar was a much better song anyway and didn't see this success

So what happened? I'm genuinely curious if he saved a child from drowning or something like that.

Lizzo's song is in the 60s, so sounds like you think her song should be nowhere even close to the top spot.

He's just a nice person who encourages other people to be nice, I guess. 

[Enigma.]

While Harry's music is fairly basic, he is a talented and quirky guy who puts a lot of effort in his career. But the streaming numbers for his latest album are not anything gigantic apart from AIW which is a smash from the second you hear it and rightly so.

Even 5 weeks after release (and 3 weeks at #1), no one really seemed to care about As It Was. Something happened in the couple of weeks between that time and the album release. Because the second after Harry released the album, everyone was like As It Was is the greatest song ever and they seem to can't let go of it.

[Groovy]

4 on Spotify and consistently pulling over 1M daily, but nobody cares about As It Was. If you don't like it just say that, stop trying to discredit its success

Kworb is doing the Kworb thing of crediting the version that's more popular on iTunes instead of the original.

[pnobelysk]

Regarding the Harry conservation. I’d encourage anyone who doesn’t understand his appeal to pay attention to his concerts. In addition to carrying over a strong teen female fan base from the boybands days, Harry is unapologetically supportive of the queer community. This also has applied to the Black Lives Matter movement. He is compassionate in a way that doesn’t come off as hollow as some other celebrities who might even be genuine. His concerts aren’t just music, look at the Congo lines and the fans doing the choreography. He’s created a home that a lot of people feel safe at. He’s had many speeches at his concerts about the importance of seeking free to be safe here while also not being afraid to dabble in discourse about how shitty guys can be.

I remember me and few users were 100% certain as it was would be a huge smash even before released bc of earlier factor. His last album sold over 1 million in pure sales even with a bizzare single roll out. He headlines one of first prominent concerts post pandemic.

[kingvavis]

Some specific people on here just have a vendetta against As It Was. As It Was will likely end up as the biggest song of the year and one of the biggest songs of the past few years.

[fridayteenage]

his queerbaiting is kinda annoying and his style is kinda basic compared to the way his worshippers talk about him, but he's ok.

[dremolus - solarpunk]

So after an entire summer where the number one song was inorganically number one than to sales alone, all of a sudden it's a bad thing that a song is organically number one and that there's some sort of conspiracy propping it up.

So I guess trying to discuss when someone who is 13 years into a music career might start fading, Like every artist does,  is declaring someone over,  I can't keep up with this social media thing and the changing of the language.  I dunno, growing up we always disxussed this kind of stuff and if an acts next album might be their decline.

I mean Matilda which isn't a single is at 140 milion on Spotify, so is MFSR and LNT is at 240 mil. Those would be solid 3-month numbers for any tracks

I think it’s great that we finally have a #1, in About Damn Time, that organically climbed its way to #1 instead of debuting there.

I hope we get another one soon with Bad Habit.

Lol yeah. We go through this every time a new remix is released.

velaxti I think it's just been a natural ascent for Harry. One Direction of course had its stans, and Harry was always sort of a standout within the group. His first solo album had a decent hit with the lead single, and then with his second album he had several hits so there was real growth. That is of course going to set up a third album well. It's similar to Ariana Grande who had the Nickelodeon background, had a hit off her debut, then kept growing with albums 2 and 3.

I feel that Harry Styles winning a Grammy and then being on tour as helped in increasing his popularity. He has such a great rapport with his fans on tour. So he is turning into a seasoned artist. Secondly, he is always very relatable when he does interviews. A very charming, down to earth guy. So he makes people root for him. I feel Watermelon Sugar is a better song than As It Was. But it is all about timing. And he is more popular during this era.

[HolidayGuy]

"Break My Soul (The Queens Remix)" had 350,840 Spotify streams yesterday. Not bad, I guess, with no playlist appearances. Wonder if they'll bother adding it to some notable/popular playlists.

 Not really,  I mean it's done as a discussion not a gripe.   Like asking can Kiss still Have hits off their gimmick,  or can Jagger go on forever?  It's all just mixed in with taking sbiut the music.  Kind of like how people mix in talking about aging in Hollywood and remaining relevant there.

you wouldn't do it for say anything author,  they just write TIL they die, and sometimes past then  but we all know in terms of music charts that everyone has expiration date.  Apparently it's okay though to discuss a woman won't chart because she is now in her forties or fifties, and when they do it's a rare exception,  but we can't discuss other artists apparently,  just the approved pulse list.  It's all fine here to talk about m5 and alevine and how he's done and not relevant, as pulse has tried to do since like 2013. But Drake, nope!
