Read my post above.

It isn’t about the variants. It’s about the exclusivity of the perks attached.

The only thing id criticize billboard here is not being more consistent. Other shady stunts to chart higher in the past by others went ignored and should have also been called out

We don’t know what you’re talking about.

I'm not saying that to defend Nicki because she's an awful person but when Taylor releases 500 versions of the same song/album they say nothing

Its not about releasing them but explicitly asking them to buy 4 copies to be part of a contest.

Should I change it from "threatened" to "has decreased" ? the wording kind of seems like regardless of if she stopped the giveaway they're taking some sales away but I can't tell.

every album cycle of hers has the "btw billboard hates me!!" era

[apollorowling 403]

As if Taylor, when she releases 736 versions of the same album, is not in some way "forcing" fans to buy it, with the narrative that it is a limited edition and they will never be able to acquire it again. Come on people, you're too old to not see that it's the same s***.

i read it and i understand there is a difference, but to me personally it’s the same sort of manipulative tactic. i don’t think either should be allowed, or both should be allowed

I get it that artists have to use tactics but damn these albums were bought weren't they? count them then

Agree. It should be organic sales period.

Every month labels come up with a new way to blow charts by selling 10 to the same fans, it's misleading about what's really blowing up in the charts so kinda makes the whole sales ranking ceremony irrelevant.
