I don't see what the difference is between the Taylor rerecords getting to number 1 and Greatest Hits compilations getting to number 1. Why discount one and not the other?

People have to be pretty obtuse in the head to not being able to tell apart a re-release from a re-recording

but yes, continue living in your tiny little heads and count your own personal charts as the real charts :/

 

WOW! I can fully understand the difference between a re-recording and a re-release, and in MY opinion they both shouldn’t count as a totally new release. It’s my opinion, not yours clearly. The joy of a healthy forum is that it should be a place where people can express their opinions, and where healthy debates can happen.

 

However I do find your comments to be very telling, not about me, but about you. I will leave it at that.

Should Ryan Adams - 1989 be counted towards Taylor’s 1989? The only difference for the Taylor re-recordings (except for the quality of them obvz xx) is that it’s Taylor covering herself. It’s a different version of the album released on a different label..

 

Is it annoying that they won’t combine? Yes - but all that is just our personal takes and chart OCD kicking in. But it’s understandable and makes sense as to why they do seperate them. The casual person won’t care if they’re combined or not.

FYI, in some countries, like Germany, 1989 TV is combined with 1989 for chart purposes.

It really doesn't make any sense, as in other countries they do combine the original album with its TV.

 

Also, the thing about a "different label" is meaningless, as many albums have changed copyright ownership during their chart life and never got separate chart runs. What's more, Taylor's UK label has always been EMI. It just changed names during the last 15 years.

Disagree with people if you want (I actually agree with your point of view here) but please don't speak to people like this, it's really belittling and rude

Funny how you always claim to be the victim, isn't it? :rolleyes:

This isn’t true in terms of the OCC. For example: George Michael - Older. Same recording, two different chart runs due to label difference.
