Can’t believe I didn’t clear my copy and paste engine, this is what I was meant to post. Will keep the original post up as it is quite funny.

It’s weird how obsessed you are with chromatica that you’d still be reading through reviews of it almost 3 months after its release. I think maybe you should get a life

it does grow slightly on me, but that's maybe now more because i ain't expecting any bops anymore

most of the songs do have the same cuteness, sweet vibes what i liked on 1989 ''Wildest Dreams'' one of my fave songs of that album


you can say ''told you so Nicky has done a u-turn'' but no i just do not hate it anymore, and i never hated Taylor tbh, i mean i can't since i do like her early years + 1989

These Billboard rule changes can’t come soon enough. Pushing the most boring song on the album too smh

Regardless of the singles mix the album sells, sells more than anyone’s faves have this year

I mean when you call her irrelevant also and she outsells your faves 2:1 and get bitter about it it’s a bit silly

Taylor’s albums always sell well. I never said they don’t. It’s not really hard to do as a Pop Star With a big obsessive fanbase signed to and fully supported by Universal. Her last album still
Had no hits and even the Grammys couldn’t nominate her, never mind gift her another award.


If you so obsessed with numbers though, I Still can’t tell you the last hit she had though and that’s why her team are going all out to try and get one now before the rule changes, that’s the facts


Not everyone can get organic hits though...

Look What You Made Me Do (2017) - #1 US multiple weeks, #1 UK multiple weeks
Gorgeous (2018) - US #13, UK #15
Me (2019) - US #2, UK #2
You need to calm down (2019) - charted #3 US, #5 UK
Lover (2019) - chatted #10 US, #14 UK


I don’t know what you class as hits but those were all top 15 in both US and U.K.?

She has always been an albums artist (which is far more important than singles, promoting singles often don’t even make the label money it’s usually a cost to plug the album.. Taylor can plug the album without the cost of even needing to promote singles)


I mean I love the Weeknd but he will never have the career close to Taylor, I mean she is one of the biggest sellling acts of all time, her name is going to be up there with The Beatles, Michael Jackson and Madonna in terms of tales in 5 years time. She’s already 200M+ right now she’s Already 4/5 of the way there, and is the second best selling act of the past 30 years. Saying someone as huge as Taylor Swift is not able to get hits is a little off the mark imo. Folklore wasn’t made to create hits either, it’s a quarantine album project with her going indie

He really said cardigan isn’t an organic hit in the making when its astronomical success is driven by people actually listening to it and not radio push lmao

All those numbers show me is a gradual decline considering she used to run this ****.

You don’t really believe it’s a quarantine album do you? It’s just an attempt to restore credibility and critical acclaim after her last album fell short in that regard and in terms of awards. Spontaneous Quarantine albums that are suddenly released aren’t released with 683838390 versions of Vinyls,Remixes, Merch and Dildo bundles ready to go just before Billboard changes the rules on them.

I’ll take my quote back. It’s an organic hit, I’ll give her that as it’s actually doing well enough on streaming. It’s not an Organic #1 though, which is what all these versions and remixes are blatantly trying to grab.

Yeah that’s gotten out of control this yr I think Taylor just wanted in before the charts get it under control

It’s boring seeing all the desperate attempts
