    Can we all agree that we are tired of both Drake and Taylor dropping every 6 months?

    They dropped 14 projects combined in the past 4 years. Just give us a break for at least one year

    i love both but other artists are disappointing with their drops

    or artists playing the lame mysterious game. i love how frequent they release, feed the fans

    just because you remake/rerelease an album doesnt mean you'll chart lol

    ariana grande just did that with her first album and did way more promo than what Taylor just did with 1989tv and hardly charted and had no longevity

    They must not know that when So Far Gone was re-released on streaming in 2019 that s*** only did 45K first week

    That’s why I laugh when I see users saying Drake would have the same success if he released “Aubrey’s Versions” of his older albums because that couldn’t be farther from the truth. What Taylor is doing right now is unprecedented

    So is the big bad industry faking Taylor’s numbers this decade so that doesn’t happen again in 2029?

    My comment didn’t mention anything like that so idk what you’re talking about

    You said Taylor is experiencing this success because “the industry didn’t like a black man winning Artist of the Decade over a white woman”

    Implying that “the industry” is responsible for this massive success Taylor has been experiencing since 2020

    Taylor is successful regardless but yeah the industry and a lot of its mouthpieces in the media are pushing her even more because they are upset she fell short last decade to a rapper
    Nobody mentioned anything about fake numbers though so not sure where you got that from
    At the end of last decade there was a lot of talk about pop really losing its footing in the mainstream and then billboard changed the rules once again to benefit pop artists

    i notice that this is the first sub-200 point #1 we've ever had. i've always used the 200 point mark as a baseline for a hit (with 300+ points getting into smash hit territory), so as far as i'm concerned, there are no hits right now.

    I’m not talking about ariana i’m talking about taylor. She’s the only one that can do that yes but my point still stands lol. Her newer original releases didn’t do that type of damage

    45k for a mixtape that was made before drake was popular is a crazy W thanks for that info. Wouldnt have expected it to chart tbh. 90% of casuals don’t know what so far gone is.

    Im not huge on Taylor music like that besides a few songs but what she’s doing is impressive props to her and swifties fr

  • shaleirose

    It’s not a scam, no one is being forced to stream a re-released album

    Imagine trying to downplay the fact that a re-released album is selling that much

    Any artist would love to have a revenue stream like that

    You're f***ing lying. Any regular Drake fan would instantly know one song from that tape

  • Drake stans love to talk about numbers and say what the boy does is impressive, but it's crickets when it's for Taylor

  • orangetcovid

    Oh no Kanye called me a b**** and I was cool with it. Swifties please come buy my album black men are tearing me down

    I'll never forget this lame s*** lol
