Is it even Taylor's fault? or are the fans to blame? She's been doing this, so there's no way the Swifties don't know about it. And you can't say it's the "fomo" hitting, because she's likely to release a huge version at the end with all of the new content (like she has in the past) so there's really no "exclusivity" in these variants. So, unless the fans stop buying in mass, Taylor will continue selling more variants 5 Quote My rose garden dreams set on fire by fiends... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just made my edit, but people are also annoyed taylor was silent up until charli was predicted to be #1 over bon jovi, it's not just because their fav got #2 (which is still really good??) 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NikoGo 60,797 Posted June 14 Again, Billboard needs to change the rule so this can’t keep happening. As long as it’s allowed to happen and her fans let it happen it’s fair game. I agree with other users that if 3 first draft voice memos of a 2 month old album was enough to steal the spot it wasn’t that secured anyway. Like I said earlier, this is now her longest charting #1 UK album (no matter how it got there) and I think that matters more to her than who she’s blocking. Plus she’s doing the Eras tour there now so all of her albums are seeing an increase. this is a hate the game not the player scenario tbh. Sorry nobody else is playing it like her. Like Lana said “she really wants it” 8 Quote "Don’t forget me" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not only was Charli actually competing for that number 1 spot but the fact that you can’t see through the fact that your fav is shamelessly using her “fans” money to keep an inorganic statistic is… sad? embarrassing? both? probably both. 8 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
