A decision has finally been reached: Sabrina Carpenter won the tight race, outselling Travis Scott by a mere 600 units to earn her very first no. 1 album on the Billboard 200 Chart. It was one of the closest calls

Soft woo since she turned out to be a traitor.mp3

Sigh, I liked her so much better before the Nicki tweet. Girl, why?!!?

[varioussaints]

Same. That tweet soured my feelings about this album (which, up until then, I was really enjoying). On one hand, it might have never been intended to be that serious and was just a poor attempt from her at trying to get Nicki's fans, however many of them still exist, to support her album going up against Travis, but on the other, Nicki is widely known to not only associate with pedophiles but also be a piece of shit in her own right. So I was kind of surprised that the seemingly terminally online/aware Sabrina didn't take that into consideration when tweeting.

I surprisingly really enjoy a lot of songs on this album. she really shouldn't have mentioned nicki tho that was a bad look

i mean

I’m glad it worked out this time but omg Billboard please take this as the wake up call to fix your charts! They’re becoming meaningless because any artist with a rabid enough fanbase can get them to buy more variants and overshadow whatever the true most consumed album of the week was.

Billboard needs to do something about the blatant chart manipulation, because ain't no way he sold 300k+ copies of a 10 year old mixtape organically.

[ragechill]

Yup. He has always manipulated the charts and I am glad they didn't let him get away with it this time but they need to be fair and not let other artists get away with the same stunts lol

yep, Taylor pretty much did the same thing to keep TTPTSD at #1 for like 3 months straight
