Future Lovers 6,530 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 1 minute ago, Economy said: I think the biggest criticism is chart manipulation and chart inflation. Our fan base isnt asking Gaga to release 2927911 variants so were not hypocrites That is a bit different than caring about their singers charts. Almost all pop fan bases care about charts to one degree or another It's really not different lmao It all stems from the same obsession of having your like for an artist legitimized by a chart placement. The dragging they do of other artists and their variants or remixes or anything else doesn't come from a belief that it's wrong, but rather anger that that artist is succeeding and their favorite one isn't to that degree. You can say all you want that no one's asking her to do variants or whatnot but I promise you if she was, there'd be people defending it and bending their previous stance to justify it solely because they want the song to chart high. It's always okay if Gaga does it because that means the Monsters get to gloat about the charts, but it's bad when others do it because then those fans get to gloat about the charts. Success stanning is success stanning, no matter how you slice it. There is no reason for 30 pages of meltdowns over a song's Spotify update, and yet this whole weekend all anyone has said about the track is that they want her to make it smash. You're right, all pop fan bases care about the charts. And it's juvenile. It's stupid. It's the absolute lowest common denominator brain dead way to engage in music. Who gives a **** if a song charts well or not? Listen to it. If you like it, then that's it. Period. I'm beyond tired of people only liking something just as long as it's successful. This stan brain rot **** has got to stop. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

2School4Cool 6,006 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 Thank you!! Wholeheartedly agree Literally the ONLY reason I’ve ever really cared about charts in the past is because if a song is a hit single there’s more of a chance I’ll get to hear it live on a future tour if I can’t see them on the current album cycle See The Best In Everyone Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastpopicon 4,209 Posted October 27 Share Posted October 27 and at the end of the day she will still chart regardless, might not get number 1's but that's hard even for the new acts, plus, the era is only starting... And let's not forget she will still snatch the 1# album on the first week if something crazy doesn't happen (like rep tv release at the same time). There's literally nothing to stress about, the song is good with critical acclaim and the fans love it, just enjoy the music The melody that you choose can rescue you Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stan brain rot **** has got to stop. First of all, I dont think the last part is true of most fans only liking a song if it mashes I agree with u about some of the attitudes being juvinile but i also think it depends at what level ur talking about Im certainly not melting down over spotify updates being lower than hoped and Im not among the users that made such threads Still I admit i care about charts to a degree for reasons ive mentioned and ill totally defend that because i dont think theres anything wrong with wanting success Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
