I don't think wanting ppl to recognize your work equals chart success.

Like if we are talking about pop music, yeah sure. But I don't think, for example, ppl who upload 6-hour long pieces on bandcamp really care that much.

And that he thinks it *does equal that is revealing more about him than the people he’s trying to drag lol

I see. Thank you! I honestly like how Taylor's team think, but I just hate the chart milking. I mean the success is pretty undeniable, I just hope they let it flow naturally instead of embossing greedy tactics. I personally like Taylor but I kind of despise how they wouldn't want to give grace to others. Like I am kinda sad Billie didn't debut #1. 

i mean dont be, if the artists want to stress about it that their own problem darling, and what a useless hill to die on, if you like the music and it made you feel good in some type of way thats all that matters, they both made a shitload of money anyway and they'll be fine no matter what, Gaga didnt care when applause didn't debut at #1 cause the song was a love letter to her fans and her community, her codependency to it and how making them feel good is the most important thing!
