Interscope doesn't do payola. ROM could be also few weeks longer on Hot100 if it had bigger airplay, Billie Eilish's airplay numbers are also tragic comparing to other artists. She only had 0,4M airplay last week, while Dua Lipa had 80M. 

I still can’t understand butter being in the top 20, let alone number 1.

I imagine if he had sung Stupid Love the song would have been a smash

Their fans collect money from fans all around the world and mass buy it in US. They have every week over 100K in sales.

That’s…wow. That’s just wrong. That’s straight chart manipulation right there.

I honestly believe no one but his fans care about this song. No one talks about this man. He gets no hype on social media or YouTube. All of this excitement is forced. Apple Music, Spotify, and BB force him onto people. I genuinely do not know fans of his in my real life or online. This is just 24hr summer radio bait..

 Not surprised. It’s generic and very safe for radio. I’m not hating on Ed, I think he does what he does very well and it shows from his popularity but apart from the video itself I didn’t care for the song. It’s funny how Elton John, his mentor, told Gaga she was wasting her talent on generic pop and didn’t like ARTPOP but Ed SHEERAN is the actually generic pop and he gives him his seal or approval...

It's the same, like, three people doing threads over and over

Honestly the only way to secure a #1 and keep it there is payola. Sucks interscope never really uses that method because RoM/TC/MR/PI/Applause could’ve been bigger with payola and playlists.

Shallow took a while to hit #1 too

Yes, because of the very same payola. 

So…who paid all of the people to go to his record breaking concerts 👀

I wish someone would explain why everyone hates him here? He’s basically the male Taylor Swift…but I guess most everyone here hates her too

I think it lowkey stems from a bit of "jealousy by proxy". They're so freaking successful while writing such generic (not necessarily bad) stuff while a lot of people's favorite artists here are paid dust despite reinventing themselves constantly. Gaga included barring ASIB and Chromatica.

Or at least that's why I dislike him

That and the fact that I've probably already heard Bad Habits on the radio five times today

Actually I’m not a big fan of Ed but I really like this song and it’s a total summer bop.
