So long as people aren't buying 20 copies a piece (which again, I doubt Billboard would allow) I don't see an issue. Oh yeah, I agree that sales are still a relevant metric that should be taken into account, and that a stan's sales are as valuable as any other sale. My point was mostly directed at songs that, without remixes or massive fan-driven sales (both of which tend to come together), wouldn't have reached at #1. Ever since Say So back in 2020, many of the loudest fandoms have tried (and a lot of times, succeded) to carry their favorite artists to the top with songs that just lack any significant impact on both radio and streaming, being hits driven almost entirely by massive sales (which a lot of times ended up being just acts of mass-buying by fans). As such and looking back at Taylor's history of releasing many remixes to elevate or keep her songs at the top, I think it's fair to question whether Karma would be a "deserving" #1 previous to get more info about how it has been doing so far (by "deserving" I mean a #1 hit with the three main metrics more or less balanced and contributing at the song's success). If Karma is doing ok outside of just sales, then it's all fair game. But again, I wouldn't be too surprised if that end up being not the case. I think there are two distinct classes of โsales-drivenโ number ones. Songs like Say So, Industry Baby, and Watermelon Sugar all are legit big hits that wouldnโt have gotten to number one without concerted sales efforts. Then there are pure sales led number ones like TROLLZ and Like Crazy that werenโt hits in any sense of the word. If Karma sells 50k for that extra push I think it would fit slightly between those two camps, but much closer to a Watermelon Sugar than a Like Crazy. (Also I actually donโt think there is going to be a concerted enough buying campaign to push it to #1, I would bet it debuts at #3)
