Her work ethic is ridiculous and she truly has transitioned herself extremely well into the streaming era within 2 years. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a comparable situation, but of course at the end of the day both kind of successes do amazing and there is no need to debate about which success is bigger. (And I think we tend to give first day numbers and chart debuts a bigger importance than they have, but it makes total sense since we're all dying to know how will a song perform on the charts even before it's release. But that's another story). The same works with albums as a whole, I don't think adding the plays of every single song in an album is not a good way to measure one album's success and compare it against the others. Specially now when it seems like some artists are on a competiton about who can drag their era longer and more and more singles. But which other fairer method could we use to compare numbers between albums? because doing the average between the album tracks would also be unfair. Anywayssss its not that serious I guess At the end of the day it outstreamed Chromatica and justice by like 3-5m but she's big on streaming and has a lot more tracks... C3 is 3 seconds shorter and could've given Gaga a 50m debut.. It doesn't matter Edited April 10, 2021 by ItsGenuineGuy09 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the GP finally getting tired of Miss Swift? She released too many things too close to each other. I haven't even had the time to fully enjoy Evermore. Anyway, Style, Delicate, Cornelia Street, Invisible Strings remain her best songs from their respective albums (but I also like a lot more). Still don't care about her reheated songs 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prevents an album from being carried by one single successful song (and limits the tracks counted iirc). I do think taking away the most successful tracks figures is something that's not the perfect solution, because they are still part of the album and it's natural that one songs do better than the others. (and in many cases a song doing better than the rest doesn't mean carrying the album) Edited April 10, 2021 by Andreu Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
