True, it's unfair to compare the next chapter in Garbaj saga to the album of the year.
that gif applies to all parts of your post, what a flop.
You know, this might sound hella pressedT, I'll own up to that upfront, but is it really that fair to weigh our faves against Taylor's smashing right now? I mean, she has access to a GIGANTIC demographic that none of our Pop faves are really going for (or even could). Any of our faves could put out the best Pop record of the year, market it like crack, and still not reach the type of instant domestic success Taylor's had with "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" because Country radio wouldn't be checking for it.
Nobody has smashed like this since Shania Twain. Incidentally, another Country-Pop artist.
I just hope this doesn't inspire any of our faves to #TRYIT with Country records.

In terms of talking about actual successful pop stars, Rih has snagged her 23rd top 10 on the Hot 100 with #DIAMONDS coming in at #8 this week. It's increasing in digital sales, and is a multi-format smash getting major play on Urban even though it's a pop song.
Your faves tried tho. They really did. #poordat

Taylor could never be Shania. She tried.

I'm not so sure. 21 was just as big for Adele if not bigger and she doesn't have country radio's support.
EDIT- Now that I think about it, Adele didn't really market the album that much if I recall correctly.
Not to mention the fact that country completely ignored We Are Never. So yeah, Roy's post is completely false. As per.
While Die Young rises to #5. Rih tried though.
You are such a flop. And you're about to wear out that Bender gif like you wore out the Shepherd jpg
Yes, I'm the flop for pointing out that Die Young is handily beating Diamonds. And you complaining over my gif. Pressed much?
Let's not mention that horrid image again.

Why are you always trying it with me?

Ic tho the country RADIO airplay still was relatively weak, and after that debut the song fell until the new rules. Oh well.

Handidly? #DIAMONDS is winning on radio, tied on streaming, and losing in iTunes. That isn't handidly. Maybe you should brush up on your vocabulary, tbh.
And you wish I was pressed.
LOL what kind of self clocking? The only reason it jumped to #1 was because of the new rules. Country RADIO had largely ignored it. You tried.
Ummm...did you miss the part where even BEFORE the rules changed she had the highest DEBUT on the Hot Country Songs chart by a female artist, beating out reigning Country Kween Carrie Underwood by 21 slots?
Keep failing, Chris.
Actually Die Young is winning digital, streaming, and only behind 3 million on airplay. But the downloads for the past week were 118k in Die Young's favor. Keep trying. You should just get prepared for Kesha to claim this generation's biggest hitmaker crown, considering she has yet to have a single song not enter the top 10, while Rih has had numerous that haven't.

Read my edit, I only read the last part of the quote. RIP me, I was clocked, I'll admit it. But again after that the song was falling before the new rules, so it was just the burst of airplay at the first, still good tho.
If Die Young and Diamonds are anything to go by, you should wait until Warrior.

No excuse for Kelly Clarkson though.
Lol what kind of typo, yes 38k is what I meant, which is a lot btw.
And I said Kesha was coming for that title, don't get so pressed already. Rih has been in the game a lot longer, and has had A TON more singles. Many of which flopped. Try again.
Um, DMJ has not clocked me, not at all. I clocked myself with that DD sale number tho. Oh well.
How am I wrong about Kesha? Have I said one lie besides that mistake on the DD gap? Everything else was true. Stay pressed.
Time for some tea!
I Knew You Were Trouble. has been certified GOLD. This was just a countdown single, btw. No promo of any kind.
Taylor's promo singles go gold, while others struggle to sell half of that with their lead singles.
Wait.... who's that? Is that Xtincta?
Can't seem to find a video, but would we really be surprised if it was real?
EDIT: oh. I can't believe someone took the time to make that lmao
figures Rihanna would be winning on radio where people dont have to pay to listen to her

No promo... yet iTunes has dedicated what seems like the entire fall to Red, and its "countdown" singles.
And I'm sure in 2 years from now you will be jamming to Warrior just like the rest of PopGaf is barely jamming to Cannibal
RIGHT!?
A banner that stayed on the front page AND a countdown timer.
Yeah, that's not promo at all.
Take it from us #Fighters. We know what promo looks like (and DOESN'T look like).

Drag her.
Don't lump me into that group. kesha remains vile.
Whoever is handing Xtina should be ashamed of themselves. I could do better promo than whatever they're doing.
