I hear you, but at the same time...if people are spending their money to buy the song, that is a legitimate sale! Idk how Billboard would be able to limit that.

Yeah people are legitimately spending real money on it but when the only thing keeping a song number one is a fanbase mass buying the song week in and week out while streaming numbers and radio numbers show that it’s not connecting with a wider audience, the success is quite literally being manufactured

Not arguing with that! Just not sure what Billboard's move would be to curtail it.

it is crazy how unpopular she really is even tho barbz make everyone think she's the queen of rap. imagine having drake in your comeback single and still flopping

I mean she's solidified her position in hip hop, that's just the facts but she lost so much goodwill during the shether queen era. Welp shouldn't have made those choices defending rapists yikes

Lmao she really is a scammer. SCAMA Lipa! Tried to make out like she was some progressive activist, when really she just makes bops, acts selfish and lies about her achievements. This messy persona makes way more sense to me.
