Radio payola I’ll give you but artists wish they could have the physical sales ppl like Taylor do

It’s not a resort more a luxury for a fanbase that loyal

I listen to hours and hours of music, but the last time I actually bought a CD was rodeo. Just because people dont wanna buy 5x copies of the same album doesnt mean people dont care

Idk but she is bigger than Kanye

I think you just described mental illness

But it quite literally shows she is the “bigger” artist. All the marketing and different versions in the world doesn’t mean s*** if you don’t have the manpower to turn a profit from it. Drake can do the same exact thing as she did and not even come close to the numbers she puts up because he does not have the fanbase to back it up.

She quite literally caused a federal investigation into the worlds biggest ticket provider because of the amount of people trying to go to her concert.

Placement on high profile playlists is the new radio payola

Same s*** on a different platform

Yes she's bigger, simply by virtue that her fans are better than rap fans

Niggas can get in their feelings all they want but streaming songs doesnt compare to fans who will go by 4 damn vinyls of some remixes

How the f*** does it show shes a bigger artist when Drake sells more music and shes never even came close to him in the past what 7 years? Like what the f*** do yall be talking about

Swifties would buy and solve The Lament Configuration if it meant scraping another physical sale.

She is currently out streaming Drake brother

true for drake, wrong for taylor

taylor is one of the biggest artist across most of asia and is the biggest western artist in China

Back in the day? Absolutely that means more than streaming. Certain folks buying the same Mahogany version of an album 32 times just to stat pad for their hero doesn’t mean much though. It’s like those folks that went to Avengers Endgame 50 times. Says more about them than anything

Drake 6.7 Billion streams in 2022

Taylor Swift 4.8 Billion streams in 2022

F***ING IDIOT

I get what ya mean but some metrics aren’t measurable honestly. For example cultural impact. Also, Taylor’s numbers require context considering the type of s*** she does to get those numbers.

Asian countries are the ones that listen to Taylor's music the most according to YouTube statistics

lol this not even a question

Why can’t Drake Stans just like the music? It has to always be about sales with them. Even if one artist is bigger than Drake they have to prove that’s it’s not true at all costs.

Those streams get filtered out lmao

It’s wild he dropped two great projects this year too it’s still not enough

US isnt the only country in the world

The context isn’t as crazy at the end of the day. They’re just different versions of the album that no one is forced to buy lol it’s not like she’s selling lollipops with the album included

Because the music isn't very good and takes a backseat to sales accomplishments

Her new album is outstreaming Drake’s new album which came out more recently is what I’m saying. We’ll see what these back catalogue numbers look like in 2023.

In the US, their popularities are about the same, although they reach different demographics

I just posted the current charts and their performances are similar. Both of their albums are doing very well

I don't know why you are acting like she's completely irrelevant and has no hits

They’re the hip hop version of Taylor fans when you take a step back lmao
