    dear april

    because whether its a reissue or rerecording its still an old album coming out again, if the dictionary definition makes you feel better go ahead. its not as if every fan cares about the intricacies, its still literally the same album except the added vault tracks but lets not act as if thats the vast reason why its doing numbers

    the Taylor Swift re-recordings are doing numbers because she's Taylor Swift, and her fans are rabidly supporting her throughout her unique situation with Big Machine and Scooter.

    standard reissues that happen for big album anniversaries like Thriller 40 recently, or the Ariana album as you've mentioned, aren't expected to "do numbers" in the same way. it's fan service. i don't even get the argument.

    So Far Gone is so far out of the conversation, it was just an online-exclusive mixtape made available commercially for the first time lol i'm just tryna break down the differences

    idk how many times i have to repeat my point here. do you think the fans really would care if its a “reissue” or “rerecording” like its literally an old album coming out again

    if fans solely streamed because they want to spite Scooter it really wouldnt have longevity lol

    how are you trying to make a point by asking me a question i can't find your point i swear. the fans are streaming the versions of the albums that Taylor has ownership on. lemme just tap out tho haha

    How are anniversary editions of albums or releasing old mixtapes on streaming the same as Taylor re-recordings, which are full new albums with extensive rollouts

    Anyway, can’t wait for these re-recordings to finally end. Lamest era of pop music in a long time

    i said rerelease too… and also technically Ariana’s is kinda rerecording. both artists both did more promo than what Taylor did for 1989 tv

    Ari and Drake could never re-record their albums.

    Way too dependent on other people to make music

    What does this even mean

    1989 is a decade old, the rerecording introduced it to a new audience and her whole catalog skyrocketed since the Eras tour.

    Got nothing to do with rabid fans. If Swifties alone dictated the success of her albums then Reputation wouldn't be moving 20k a week since she doesn't own that one

    ok, and you're also right. that wasn't the crux of our discussion at all.

    huh? they weren’t re-recordings they were remasters/reissues?

  • Yours Truly being used as the example is crazy cause no one even cares about that album outside of Ari stans like that

    if she reissued Dangerous Woman or My Everything and it flopped that’d be entirely different

    Does this mean he’s only selling about 50% of the capacity at each venue?

    It means he's sold about 50% of the total available tickets on the tour.
