How far is Taylor from most weeks at #1? She's guaranteed at the very least 3 more with the two TVs left and whatever her next album is and she can't be that far already.

The Beatles have 132 weeks. Taylor was at 73 weeks for the chart dated May 25, 2024.
So, she is still quite a bit away

$6 each.
So basically in 2024 instead of dropping Lover Live in Paris she would just do 8 different Lover variants with one more song each.

Good Lord, so now we're onto 13 different tracklists for the same album in month. This is totally normal! Nothing to see here.

So, who will be next? I bet Sabrina Carpenter. She posted Billie's album on her story, followed Olivia on Twitter, did SNL with Jake and posed for Kim's brand.

All I need to know about Taylor Swift is she is/was close friends with Todrick Hall. If that doesn't tell you something about her personality/who she is as a person...

Billie is out flatly telling her fans to keep on buying even after one already bought 5 copies (finneas is telling them to stop through)

Taylor's accountability for this week aside (as plenty are clearly and vocally holding her feet rightfully to the fire), I am so perplexed by Billie's 180 this week from her prior comments with Billboard. lol I mean she very vocally and publicly (knowing the reach her words has and the stir it could potentially cause) heavily criticized "big artists" for releasing multiple variants, not only for environmental reasons, but for being "so concerned with numbers" and being "money hungry", and now here she is releasing variant after variant, encouraging fans to buy more than 5 copies of her album, and clearly doing everything within her power to bolster her album's figures. What was the logic behind this? Does she not realize how absolutely hypocritically and poorly this plays? I would expect this kind of behavior from Taylor (as she's been at it for years now), but I'm surprised at Billie, especially, after she made such a deal about it recently. lol

Taylor is truly the most oppressed billionaire alive. I can't believe everyone is attacking her.

So why is HMHAS off iTunes? I just looked for it - not on iTunes best seller albums or tracks and not visible on Billie's page. That's an interesting strategy.
10:50EDT - It's back. I'm sure it was a last minute PR ploy to push those *eco-friendly* variants that are far more profitable than the $4.99 digital album.

Isn't that the point of releasing 20 variants of the same album? Just so that one person can buy as many copies as possible, but I guess it sounds awful when they directly say it. |

I don't wanna hear shit when BTS drops their comeback single variants π€π€£ Personally, I think they should limit album and single variations to one. Like, artists should be able to have a "deluxe variation" and/or one remix and that's it (as far as charting purposes are concerned). I think that would be perfectly reasonable! I'm confused. Isn't that the point of releasing 20 variants of the same album? Just so that one person can buy as many copies as possible, but I guess it sounds awful when they directly say it. The poster could be referencing how contradictory Billie's current words/actions are compared to what she said recently to Billboard. |

Taylor did the same to Drake and Pop Smoke. It's just about extending her weeks at #1. Taylor is trying to get the most career weeks at #1 of any artist. It's about competition with the Beatles and Michael Jackson for commerical domination. She doesn't believe in participation trophies. And Taylor is far from the only artist with that policy. Billie's team is the one saying shady things to the press while Taylor's camp hasn't responded at all to their provocations. Taylor's team is treating this like a business while Billie's managers has kept on liking negatives tweets about Taylor. TTPD is the more streamed album so her team isn't going to just surrender the #1 to any artist . (sidenote streaming is pretty energy intensive due to the fact that info about each song has to be continuously sent over the internet. downloads are more green and if people actually regularly listened to their vinyl instead of streaming that would also be more green). And the fortnight remix was dropped to keep fortnight in the top 10 not to block Billie whose top song will chart higher regardless. The producer is primarily a producer who has an environmental cause on the side. If the side activities of the producer matter to Taylor's team, it was likely more about countering her image as an eco-terrorist not Billie related. There's a number of things in this post I would like to see evidence for but I'd especially like to see stats on where TTPD is more streamed than HMHAS |
