When each variant has a unique song that is not part of the other album variants in addition to the visuals, that is when I have a problem. There are now 4 versions with 4 different tracklists for this album. She does not need this ****. She is on top. Why pinch out sales from your fans for this album this way? This….Rina and Olivia’s didn’t have a different track on each variant though. Nor did Gaga’s, Ariana’s don’t, etc. etc. Edited February 23 by TEANUS British social ladies with upturned pinkies, glasses clinking // xoxoTEANUS 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's her fans who need to question their values in their lives. Is it really that smart when even her own fans are calling her out for it Also I do wanna stress she isn't the only artist who does this by no means, but it still doesn't sit right with me 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more interesting question is why are some fans so willing to spend so much money buying the same thing over and over again.

LIKELADYAGAGA 4,063 Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 While I do think this is silly, how is ANY DIFFERENT than selling multiple posters in her shop? Or pillows? Or other merch? At least this becomes a valuable collective. I think Midnights "build the clock" where you had to get four was mean and going a bit too far with it, but this seems like a fun way to create visual art and mix it with a musical experience. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know they will spend all their money to buy stuff and this is taking advantage of the situation. Release 1 deluxe edition with all the artwork and reveal the songs 1 by 1 like now, but without the extra editions all of the time. It's to be seen whether all songs will be on streaming from the start Well, to be honest my 14 year old a*s owned 13 Gaga albums at the end of 2021, and several singles, she only released 3 records until then. And that’s just Gargoyle‘s music I bought. mind you in 2009 when I got my first The Fame record I was 11, almost 12. Taylor is taking something everyone is doing in todays climate a little further and she‘s getting these huge rewards for it but trust me, she wouldn’t need to go there for a #1. For others not doing it could actually cost their #1. Why do we hold Taylor to this high standard when we don’t care about others? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also everyone else can do it, and it’s up to you to buy or not (i like her music but i’ve never bought anything from her) it's one thing to release bonus tracks after the album is out but multiple albums like this is just predatory mother, what must i do?

So she’s creating FOMO among her audience. It’s just rude honestly. I do get the sentiment that collecting all of them is more of a reward than if it was just different covers or colors, but I think extra songs or not it’s too much. I hate this trend of record variants across all artists, anything more than like 2 or 3 variants is greedy and I 100% agree with the commenter who said these are mass produced garbage that will end up in a landfill in a few years. Even Gaga is guilty of this. I know they are definitely still sitting on thousands of copies of Love For Sale, like Adele’s 30 this was extremely over pressed because they thought demand would be higher.
