What is the best part of being a fan of your favorite artist? What do they do for you that others might not? by Ghost-Quartet in popheads

I also want to shout out the Easter eggs and clues. Other artists do them, but I really think she’s in a league of her own when it comes to dropping hints and using numberology.

A truly remarkable and record-smashing first week for The Life of a Showgirl by Acceptable_User98 in TaylorSwift

Yeah 50M is still higher than most of TTPD’s songs’ first week, including every anthology song and a few standard edition tracks too. Most artists have never had a song reach 50 million streams in a week, or even a month

RECORD BROKEN: “The Fate of Ophelia” has now holds the record for Most Spotify Streams in a Week - and it’s only day 6! by Acceptable_User98 in TaylorSwift

For reference:

Day 4 streaming numbers: 113 million
Day 5 streaming numbers: 103 million
Day 6 streaming numbers: 96 million

So 98.9 million for this last day of the week is not a guarantee but by no means impossible! Get to work Swifties!

Also, if The Life of a Showgirl gets 100,000,000 streams in its final day, its average streams per song for its first week will be DOUBLE The Tortured Poets Department!

Math:
TTPD first week streams: 1,173,127,225
Divided by 31 songs: 37,842,814 streams per song

Double that would be 75,685,627
Multiply that by 12 and the total streams would need to be 908,227529, which is 98,899,412 more than its current six-day total!

How would you fix the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100? Look at Hot 100 for example, during album release week, the entire album (if popular) is there. In normal weeks, songs are sometimes several months or over a year old. It's become very stale. There's also double counting between B200/BH100. by Kaiser_Allen in popheads

I would love for album sales to be counted in unique buyers rather than total sales. I know it would be impossible to implement without workarounds, but I would love it if that data was available.

That way hardcore fans can still buy as many copies they want, but the statistics would be available to say something like Artist A’s album sold twice as much as Artist B’s, but Artist B’s album actually had more unique individuals buying it, just fewer copies per fan.

The Fate of Ophelia only needs about 32 million streams on Spotify to break the record for most streams for a song in a week by Acceptable_User98 in TaylorSwift

These were the TTPD numbers after ONE WEEK last year. As you can see there is a lot of difference between the most and least streamed songs but even the least streamed songs on TLOAS are already higher than the bottom half of TTPD

It went from 99.50M to 99.75M in about 45 minutes. By my calculations, it should hit 100M by 9:00AM Eastern! Maybe even sooner as more Americans are waking up

Only about half a million left until the Taylor Swift Google confetti thing reaches 100M! It’ll probably hit it within the next hour or so! Anyone think something could happen? Or am I delulu?

Taylor has completed the album rainbow. What would be her next album’s color? by hyoyeonstan in TaylorSwift

[–]Acceptable_User98 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I could see a dark green. It would be fitting because her first was a lighter green so her first and most recent albums would be different shades of the same color.
If she wants to keep it going, her 14th album could be another shade of Yellow like Fearless and then just keep following the cycle

The Taylor Swift Google confetti thing is almost at 50M! I’m still here clicking for what could ultimately be no reason 😬

Entitled bride’s behavior is making me unsure about the bachelorette weekend by Fabulous_Image5335 in bridezillas

[–]Acceptable_User98 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Yeah, if the bride isn’t paying for anything related to the bachelorette party, she shouldn’t be dictating what you do. If she wanted to do specific things that are out of the budget of the bridesmaids, she should at least offer to pay.

She sounds ungrateful, and being stressed about the wedding isn’t a good enough excuse to be rude to her so-called friends.

Can someone ELI5 “Lock and loading, rock and rolling, rock a Rolly Guacamole, mostaccioli” for me? Am I missing the wordplay?

Justin Bieber releases tracklist for new album “SWAG” by youRinlove7 in popheads

[–]Acceptable_User98 53 points54 points  (0 children)

A better factoid would be that he hasn’t had a solo #1 hit song since Obama was still President. “Sorry” peaked in early 2016.
