Of course kpop stan is defending this bs lol

vic mensa just did it too

Yeah this s*** is bad but it is what it is the industry is ass

Which chart manipulation tactic haven’t you defended 😭😭

Hayley is getting dragged ITT

Jaden did the same this Friday :work:

what did the young goat drop? i must have missed it

Album Came and went

if an artist were to create small playlists on their spotify/apple music page of music from their album would you refer to that as chart manipulation? It functions in the exact same way.

nun new like the title, just five songs from CTV3 and dubbed it an EP, called Surf's Up

there are some slaps on CTV3 though

im sick niggas think this is a new practice

If it was a playlist it would not look like a new project. It would look like a normal playlist on Spotify/Apple Music.

This looks like a new project to get people to listen to songs they already heard to increase streams.

considering the artists that ktt niggas stan im not surprised they're clowning her for supporting someone with talent

She couldve at least thrown 1 or 2 bonus songs in there for her fans...

damn

need folklore sessions mixtape

this looks like a new project to get people to listen to songs they already heard to increase streams

if someone had already heard these songs prior I'm doubtful they'd listen again in this format and or I'm doubtful it'd lead to a big enough uptick in streams for it to be considered "manipulation".

this seems like a non-issue to me, an actual issue is things like play-listing (although even that itself is somewhat overblown in the big picture)

Niggas fuming cause Folklore still outselling their favorite rappers first week

a thing, especially a book, record, or broadcast program, that is put together by assembling previously separate items.

Speak to it

why taylor so against pop smoke getting another week at #1?

I'd consider chart manipulation to be things such as heavy playlisting, payola & things such as remixes (in the context of sales), bundling as well, all of which I have varying levels of problems with.

listening to previously released on an organised EP/playlist such as this comes down to consumer choice and as such I don't really see it being "chart manipulation", just more so extended promo of said previously released songs, I'd hardly imagine any of these eps would have enough of an impact to effect the charts anyway.

Marketing =/= chart manipulation

She looks cute in that picture

Jaden just did this too, this the new marketing tactic?

So I’m guessing we get the album, the album release EP, and then the deluxe after that 😂

I doubt its her decision

Folklore is broken into chapters wbk
