Cowboy Carter is an album that is full of AMAZİNG production with like the most cringeworthy lyrics possible and I cannot listen to it without feeling second-hand embarrassment 

I stand by what I giffed even tho I only fully listened to like 3 songs off of the album, and THOSE 3 SONGS WERE VERY NICE by the way

Arianka dropped a single before her album and it killed some of the hype

Billie now has the 16th biggest streaming day for a female album in 2024. Congrats to her on this monumental achievement!

I can’t believe Taylor got 313M first day streams.  Insane. Some Faustian **** going on. 
OT: good for Billie! 

[RAMROD 104,086]

I feel like it definitely could be higher, but perhaps all the fan events, as fun as they were, probably took a portion of supposed first day listeners away. I saw quite a few fans actually not into this album and refrain from relisten it on Billie's base on reddit, for which they felt so sad about.

Also I think it’s worth noting that Billie is hitting these numbers with some WEIIIIIIIRD music

like Taylor has a very approachable sound & Beyoncé’s release was more pop/country which is generally popular rn (in the US at least)

So her hitting those numbers while doing whatever she wants musically is super awesome 

[Morphine Prince 102,017]

Peaking on your third album with 10 songs is insane. 

She didn’t need 30 songs, a double album, random versions of albums at 3 in the morning, no lead single releases, no random collabs, only her and her brother making non-traditional alt/Pop that normally wouldn’t chart. After getting hate in her last era/album, people saying she wouldn’t last and she proved you MOTHEREFFEES wrong  

Officially the QUEEN of Gen Z. 

I am so proud of her

I don't get her hype but I like her a bit better after What Was I Made For was actually good.

[Morphine Prince 102,017]

After HTE debuted with less than her debut people were calling her a FLOP and she came around and DOUBLED her streams  

[BELLYACHE 926]

I’m happy to see ggd loving Billie now as opposed to a few years ago, I feel like a proud dad 😭😭

you KNOW I'm right 

I mean I haven't listened to it to this date and dont have any interest in checking it...

 

I did listened to the first two tracks though.

I like a lot of Taylor’s albums but I am astonished at her numbers. Genuinely how does she get that?! Is it artificially inflated? 

I wouldn't say 'inflated'. She's just TOO HUGE to flop. If she's probably the biggest international popstar in my country, no doubt she also has that grip in many other countries too. and this isn't even a white nation at all.
