I think only sales of the original album should count in these charts. Variants are just silly.

Guess this one wasn't for Nicki

I hate Travis Scott music! I feel like such an old person because I’m always complaining about new age hip hop. It all sucks and sounds mumbly/like a broken blender, and there’s no lyricism at all in the popular mainstream stuff (future, Travis, gunna, etc.) I have no idea how the youths are eating this up.

not all new hip-hop sucks, but lol Travis Scott is pretty terrible. there's a segment of new hip-hop artists and a segment of new country artists (all of them male) that just put out garbage ass music.

[butter01]

Yes I’m generalizing when I say “all” for sure. I’m sure there are a crop of quality artists who just aren’t mainstream enough for me to know of them at my big age.

LOL this is the consequence of Billboard’s own (in)action re: variants and now they’re in a mess.

I like Sabrina enough and think this sucks for her but I’m not surprised another asshole artist is exploiting this same bullshit Taylor’s been blatantly doing for months. Billboard’s in a mess now bc they’ve let this go for so long and I guarantee you Travis team is ready to call them on it. It was a matter of time until someone “bigger” did this too and Travis has always been a huge “bundle”/merch seller (for some inexplicable reason lol) so him doing it should have been more predictable lol

The discourse that’s gonna happen if this finally forces the billboard rule change though

[musicnkisses]

I 100% guarantee billboard waits to change the rule after someone else who isn’t Taylor does it.
