how can you think streaming parties are okay but not fans spending money on the single / buying merchandise? Both practices grossly drive forward units that wouldn’t have occurred naturally, so? Plus if a few iTunes sales put Say So ahead then Savage didn’t have such a huge lead for “6 out of 7 days” as you claim. So yes, you being surprised a “small group of fanatics” could change an entire chart’s outcome led me to ask that question.Īlso. Even in this moment, FOUR BLACK FEMALES are betting for the top spot and Beyhive is being shady as hell. It’s a unity and nice to see such activity in the business. The wording of “because now the charts aren’t accurate” over this is hilarious lol. Because now you’re going to be blaming other fans for stepping up. We’re all online doing this dumb as sh*t, you might as well not be so shell shocked at simple practice. You guys praise and awe at Beyonce and her laziness, saying “no promo is her power” but look at what a little acknowledgement/encouragement and fire can do to the fanbase? And what she’s missing out on record wise? Yeah I know, the bitter “she’s already had, she doesn’t need to” but that’s not the point. sales then because there have been numerous, numerous instances in music/pop culture history over the years that witnessed stans/fanbases to be heavily involved in outcomes.
We might as well disregard and criticize BSB, *NSYNC, BTS, Britney, Gaga, Kanyevs50, Biebervs1D, etc. And bulk buying isn’t illegal or fraudulent. It’s basic conversation. But I’ve consistently seen Beyhive call the sales “fraudulent” or “shady,” as you had, and they’re not since they’re literally, legally purchased. Where did I say that you said it? I asked a question as what you did say implied, to me, that you didn’t. But I don’t control the charts, so as I said. But if a song that has dominated sales and streaming for 6 out of the 7 days can be overtaken by a small group of fanatics buying hundreds (and in some cases thousands) of copies to inflate the reach of the song, I think that’s wrong. are different because it takes a lot of streams to equal a sale. Where did I say that I was just discovering this or that it has anything to do with Nicki? I think streaming parties etc. Let's see how the new songs hold up on streaming and sales.
