Lol, can't wait for Drake to drop a remix. But in all seriousness, has Drake never released a remix?? I find that odd.

You’re Mines Still from 2020 is a remix.
There is also a remix of Fetty Wap’s My Way with Drake.
Girls Need Love with Summer Walker was remixed by him.

Drake should definitely release one next week to try and stay #1, if only so we can see what Taylor would then do. I guess an instrumental and new cover for this FDR remix that with every purchase gets seeds sent to farmers?

not "FDR remix" help 😭😭😭 I like Roosevelt so I checked out the remix and it's much, much better than that wack Jack Antonoff remix.

Check out his album Polydans, it's really great:

At least she's making an effort. We should appreciate artists playing the charts game.

Somebody please quote this, if I forget, whenever BTS releases multiple remixes. Thanks.

Let's all stream these Life Goes On remixes instead

I don’t get it. Literally every pop artists releases remixes for their songs. From Dua Lipa to Beyoncé with Break My Soul to The Weekend. Some even do entire EPs and albums. I’m starting to realize that perhaps nobody cares enough about them to drag or keep tabs on their releases because it’s weird that Taylor always gets singled out and called desperate. As if this hasn’t been in the works for weeks, before her or Republic knew about Drakes album

Historically those remixes would come at one time (a maxi-single, or an EP as you said). These Swift ones are all released separately, and timed to benefit her at specific points in chart runs. She's done this a lot. And yes others do it, too, and they receive criticism here as well. Taylor might get it more, but it's probably because she does it more often (if only because she releases music more often).

I also think in general people prefer an "organic" hit, though most #1s aren't necessarily that so it's more that it's refreshing when it happens.

As for this all being in the works for weeks, that actually makes it worse IMO. That means they didn't have real faith in the song itself and were planning all of these ways to keep it going. So, again, not organic.

Understood but I have a question. Would Anti-Hero's chart run change in any way had these remixes never been released? Would she suddenly not be #2 next week? I'm very curious about that

It's weird. I never thought that anyone considered Taylor not to be organic until I joined this website and started following music forums. She's probably one of the few artists whose music is actually consumed, dissected and enjoyed by millions, not just passive listeners or a very niche audience. She's actually extremely popular, loved, respected and enjoyed in real life. Like the opposite of smokes and mirrors.

The thing that some seem to ignore here is that these ploys are very rarely make or break it for Taylor; Billboard pointed out, for instance, that the 'Midnights' top ten was secure from streaming alone. But I think some people also aren't arguing that her success is inorganic, just that these tactics are unsavory (and unnecessary).

Maybe I'm being naive, but if she is so chart obsessed (she is), wouldn't she realize that these two remixes are not getting her the #1 this week and she could save them for the next? Surely she has some gay on her team who can check Twitter and tell her. Maybe she just wanted to release remixes for the fans. :kii:

Say whatever y'all wanna say. I'm just glad my fave doesn't have to resort to aimless remixes (for whatever purpose) and understands the place of simply putting music out and getting out of the way. That's all I have on that.

I really don’t think what she is doing is something to get so nasty about. She’s giving work to new producers on every remix and her fans probably like more material so who cares? It’s just not that deep at the end of the day.

That's kind've hilarious when ppl here were saying she won't go #1 still and yet here she is now, locked for #1 considering the holder of this record is 88k. Really surprising to see she has that kind've pull off 2 remixes after like 3 weeks.

That one drake fan not gonna like this!

I love this for Taylor. Block that man from the no.1 spot. With the antics he pulled with this album I would love nothing more. I want him and his Stans to seethe🌚

[drakefanovo]

Gotta have respect for drake for never manipulating the charts. Never a bundle or remix to make a song or album go #1. Is he the only artists that hasn’t manipulated the charts in any way? No hate towards any artists who uses bundles or remixes either im just asking.

I'm sorry you had to waste your time to go to Spotify, look for Fergie, find Life Goes On remixes, get the embedded text, copy and paste.

First, my comment above was actually a pro-remix comment. Second, I'm not Fergie so I won't get offended, hurt or cry over you showing me her doing remixes -- I don't have to like and agree everything a celebrity I like does.

She literally isn't going #1 this week, regardless of remixes (we know that's the real concern). She has been releasing remix after remix for lead singles like this for years at this point and we are in an uproar every single time?

"SHAMELESS!!!!!! PATHETIC!!!!!" Like, garnering such extreme responses as these over remixes? It's just a music chart at the end of the day. You'd think she shot someone. Can it be a bit excessive? Sure, but man. lol

Don't mean to derail (an already derailed thread), but this fucking SENT me

[jasper0102]

[Future Captain]

Crunching the number a bit, if the biggest pure sales week of 2022 is true I think Anti-Hero might stand a chance at challenging number-one. There's still also the boost to streaming from the remix to account for.

That's not the same thing. Those were remixes for other people's songs, not Drake's songs.

No bundles. No radio deals. No ''deluxe edition'' albums with enough extra songs to make up another album. No ''remixes''. He just drops the music and keeps it moving. 

If only some people were as secure as he was about his music.

What antics? You sound stupid.

The person desperately and pathetically releasing remixes to stay #1 for a third week after already being #1 for two straight weeks isn't engaging in any antics but Drake is? Some of you on here are something else.

If Anti-Hero takes #1 this week, this would be Drake’s first project since when not to get a #1 hit? Even Toosie Slide got a week lol

[imbuemyblue]

Some of you are glad your fave doesn't have to 'resort' to these chart tactics, some of us are glad we don't have defend our fave against making fun of a woman shot and pretend like that totally wasn't what he was doing. We all have our problems!

I will be quite surprised if Taylor secures the #1 spot this week, and even though IMO it would be unfair if she did I certainly wouldn't mind seeing the heads explode on here. The claims of the song's success being 'inorganic', when it's firing on all cylinders, are just silly. People who hate Taylor continue to ignore that while she does does deploy these (somewhat unsavory) tactics she rarely needs them, whether its for ATW10's week at number one of securing the entire top ten for 'Midnights'. This week would be a rare instance where it makes the difference and puts her over the edge.

If Anti-Hero takes #1 this week, this would be Drake’s first project since when not to get a #1 hit? Even Toosie Slide got a week lol

More Life didn't get a number one hit
