The label has to make an explicit request to the label for it to be changed, it won't happen otherwise. Love Sensation didn't chart before the Kylie version but would have registered some sales before that regardless, so it did need an active request for it to be changed.

Taylor Swift released just objectively terrible music, every last piece, and got to no.1 with everything. No one else can get away with doin that, so Taylor Swift unfortunately had the best campaign

Well, that campaign started last year, and Taylor Swift exists in a vacuum. I would also say the pop album of the year requires the album to actually be acclaimed or well received.

If Expectations is a hit then Olivia has four on one album, almost unheard of these days, unless you’re Taylor Swift. Default market dominance isn't the same thing as a great campaign x

Expectations I predict will achieve Top 10.
