Everybody has variants, nobody has over 35 variants timed to prevent other artists from going to no 1 , with multiple albums....so no cause that was my point from the start!

So? when he has 30 plus vairants of every album and single he releases come to me...

Yes of one song, not multiple variants of the same album or of different released songs just to remain at no1....I am talking aboyt that mediocre, but extremely succesful, artist!

Restocked, didnt release a different remix or variant.

i dont think so...

with too many different singles and albums? dont think so...

maybe because that certain artist is doing it on repeat!!

It is sort of madness cause some of those songs were never that popular, they just happen to be on a random list that gets played. It doesnt necessarily means that people wanted to listen the particular song. Imagine if in the 70`s ,80`s and 90`s songs would get extra sales because they were fetured on compilations.

well besides this song lets say she hasnt done much the last 17 yrs lol

Well thats your personal opinion but whatever.. Who cares about next week , This is the Christmas week that goes down in the history books!!!

Taylor Swift - Elizabeth Taylor Taylor Swift - The Fate Of Ophelia Taylor Swift - Opalite Alex Warren ~ Ordinary

That makes sense yeah . I thought you meant that one fan buys 4k of her copies. lol Well there will be more anyway...

You know that throwing a crazy 4k number out there doesnt make it less true....

Considering its the same crazy fans bying it mostly , its not about general demand really, is it? basically about obsession. lol

Still three times in 7 Still 3 times in 6 weeks it does seem like a cheap and desperate pattern lol

Oh dont worry it doesnt have 33 variants and still it has sold over 30m man seriously? yes everybody does have variants these days but 34????? on the first week alone with more coming on the way???.....Lets be honest with our selves, she does that big time!!How can you talk and compare records and sales of 1, 5 or 10 vairiants with 34???Any logical human being can see the paradox in it, unless they choose not to !

well what can i say out of 350k Swift has sold up to today in the Uk 285k are physicals so the 23 viriants played a huge part beacuse of the repeat buys. I am not sure as to whether her following is as big as you think or they are just very loyal and buy every sngle version of the 23 released. Back then though they only released one version of the album and not 23 viriants or else people like Michael jackson, madonna, whitney etc would sell tons of albums on their first week.

i am not saying it never happened but the same way now you stream an album out of curiosity and its gets sales......so i wonder how many people stream it out of curiosity and they never buy it cause they dont like it much.

Not really cause back then you would buy an album, if you were not a hard die fun (and most likely you`d love the album but you would buy 1 copy not 10) because of the singles they released or because you heard iot from a friend. It would still be one version of the album though, not 10-15.

The ones you mentioned are today and its like you said, even though i think nobody has milked their funs the way swift has especially with her last one. All i said is that you cant compare todays sales with the ones in the 80s,90s,2000s

Its not the same as the artists back then didnt try to milk their funs with all these variants and then adding two songs each time every two weeks for the next two months, like Taylor did since yoou mentioned her, If you bought 4 copies of the same album... well not much i can say about that. haha. All i said is that you can not compare todays sales with those and the reasons are very obvious.

Well most of these albums were released in 3 formats only ,1 LP, 1 Vinyl and 1 cassette so there is no comparison to today where you have 5 cd 5 vinyl and 5 tapes at least of the same album! Back then it meant so much more...! Those were the real records!!!

Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You: The Best Of Whitney Houston (2x) Always great to see Whitney certifications. If they hadnt swiched from "the ulltimate collection" to this one, "ultimate" would probably be at 8 times platinum by now.

hahahaha this is the same paper that thinks most of TS albums are great hahaha

Well in a perfect world , charts would be based only on pure sales and not playlists etc....
