idts its holding better on streams and the GP seems to be liking it

[beigemediocrity]

I think so. Streams are already down and older songs are outselling it.

[robertsbox_xo]

old songs being OTR? lol it's #3 behind OTR and the new shawn/camila

[jarellano89]

At least it's not justin or ed, or some annoying white boy in a fanny pack.

Now drake wants some of that attention, I still cant believe he did a track with chris. Like. That's a big slap in the face to Rihanna. I hope she calls them out in a track, the attention that she'd drum up from that would be legendary.

YNTCD is think piece bait so of course it did pretty well. I doubt the song's popularity will last beyond it tho.

[beigemediocrity]

It is heavy front-loaded and the video gave it a lot of buzz that died very quickly. It is already dropping on Spotify.

taylor's stans will buy whatever she puts out (see: Me!)

[jarellano89]

Taylor is gonna end up collaborating with lil nas x, watch. She'll probably do a song "just for her fans" or some bullshit. This era is eating her alive inside, I love it. I wonder when she'll sound the panic alarms.

[stillglows]

i'm honestly surprised she hasn't already lol

[trekkiepetrelli]

because others are doing better than her, i love it

[cbluechicken]

Just wait until the VMAs

[bellwetherr]

wow i don't... understand top 40 music anymore

[pikapika217]

because his songs are so short they work better for streaming

I HATE IT

[bellwetherr]

i just don't listen to ANYTHING on this list, nothing

[pciam]

yeah.. labels/artists have tried to game the charts for decades on end, but it's easier now than ever. there's a reason why 1) songs are short or 2) artists release albums with 25-40 songs. More streams = higher positions.
