The idea of buying multiple versions of the same thing has always baffled me (although saying that I have 3 different versions of The Bell Jar!)

It’s one of the reasons I eventually moved over to streaming - I can now listen to the albums and if I truly love I can pick the vinyl version I want of it

The drop for Taylor is to be expected given the height shes come from. I'm a little surprised she's done that many physicals thus fat this week.

Thanks, the Taylor Swift lovers are hypocrites. They argue because they love Taylor Swift, but got angry with Ed Sheeran and his signed copies and other artists they don't like.

Pretty sure @Mr. C. Joel is saying the exact opposite, and heck im proud of my signed ed insert cd of play to go with the 1 variant of TLOAS I purchased 🤷

So you think your constant slagging off artists like Alex and Ed and posters like sour candy whenever you get the chance (albeit not exclusively) is acceptable?

If you've got a point here, can you please make it already?

I have already made it, you are a hypocrite when you do the same thing that bristolman does, your just a bit more diverse in spreading your love and joy then they are (as you see it).

So by that logic, any member who has ever made a negative comment about an artist is "doing a Bristolmans"

I don't know how Ed got brought into this, I actually really liked two of his singles from this era.

I take great comfort in the fact she has had a massive sales drop in week 2, even with all her fake 34 variants.

Who got Angry with Ed's multi variants and signed copies? I haven't seen anyone complain about the numerous variants, signed copies, store pop up's, football vinyl bundle etc?

My point is have the same energy for all artists that do it or just have one post that states Taylor annoys me and I don't like her or her music instead of this barrage of comments discrediting her sales and making out like she's the only other artist ever to have lots of variants.

On the verge of closing the thread - please make any further comments about this week’s chart.

There's a Variant Collecting topic in The Music Lounge area of the site if people are interested in discussing the practice of it in general

I disagree with every artist that does it, it's just that Taylor Swift is the queen of variants. It started when she released those ridiculous Taylor's versions with extra tracks and classed them as separate number ones when they were the same album.

I don't like cheats and she's the biggest offender.

So long story short you dont understand the reasoning behind the Taylors version, gotcha

But again taylor didnt invent the rerecord or its rules 🤷
