    What I said is a fact lol

    Dog a re-release of 1989 did the same number of units that SZA’s brand new album SOS did in the same timeframe

    Taylor is in a league of her own, nobody right now is anywhere close to her level of popularity

    In a few years, Taylor will have EIGHT Diamond albums

    Taylor is in a league of her own, nobody right now is anywhere close to her level of popularity

    And that's purely through her abuse of collectors editions, the same thing you said a few pages ago that is f***ed up

    SOS did 4m units (5 billion streams) in just 12 months of release
    Midnights did 6.3m units (4.5b streams) in 14 months of release
    so SOS actually outstreamed Midnights in the US

    In 2020, Lover (2019) only did 837m streams, can't find 2019 data

    SOS is stupidly big, I believe it's bigger than any Drake/Weeknd album ever also

    After Hours did 2.3b in 12 months btw. SOS over doubled AH. Do you know how insane that is

    Even if it’s true, that SOS is bigger than any Taylor album besides TTPD/Midnights (it’s not true), that still doesn’t make SZA anywhere near as big of an artist as Taylor Swift

    He doesn’t care, apparently SOS getting more streams means more

    Same cracked out logic that makes niggas think that Drake is bigger than Eminem all-time

    Should we collab on it?

    YA ICEMAN ACE

    Should we collab on it?

    Lmao it would have to be created by a company within the music industry. No third party has access to that information day-by-day

    Gunna's 2024 album is streaming more than Drake's 2023 album

    sza isn't as big, but the fact she has reached these insane heights whilst being a black woman kinda kills your point about how apparently you need to be white to be successful

    I mean if you look at the last 2 decades of music, there's been very few very successful white artists, especially past 2015

    you even had many white artists blackfishing lmao like ariana

    there's been a comeback in the last 2 years though

    There have been plenty of successful white artists.

    There have been ZERO at the level of success that Taylor Swift has attained, besides Taylor Swift. That’s the point.

    The highest selling rapper of all time is a white rapper, and he has double the sales of the next highest-selling rapper

    Even that nigga said he woulda sold half as much if he was black
