Funny how certain subs who had posts-within minutes-on certain artists variants but have said nothing about this so far and didn’t post about her multiple streaming exclusive videos either, almost as if it’s selective and disingenuous discourse.
Do what you need to get your number 1 but this is why fans shouldn’t try and take the moral high ground over chart games when basically all high profile artists play them.
Olivia has never pretended she doesn’t care about chart achievements either so her fans are doing her a disservice when they constantly try and “not like the other girls” her, just because they seem to want to pretend she’s some indie artist instead of one of the biggest artists around.

And the craziest part is that this might not be enough to top the charts. That’s how strong country radio is.

This is absolutely fucking ridiculous.
(And now I finally get the DDTK comparison with the second verse, it’s exactly the same cadence and rhythm lmao)

It’s so corny but in the end no one remembers how artists get #1s, just that the song went #1. That’s why these artists do it

But what are the differences between these versions? Is it production? Slight lyric changes? Why would people buy multiply versions of the same song?

I’m sorry. What’s a singalong audio? Is that not just…the song?

Swifties need to calm down. I know your fav gets dragged for this type of chart tactic, but trying to make backlash against Olivia happen to further stan wars isn’t good either.
It’s not impossible to search hidden profile comments via Google. And if you poke into at all, most of the time people who share these types of posts spend 99% of their time online defending Taylor Swift from percieved harms while going after Charli XCX, Olivia Rodrigo and the like. It’s kind of sad.

They should really create rules limiting the amount of versions that count for Billboard. If they’d limit it to 4 or 5, artist would suddenly stop dropping nonsensical versions for any attention and actuslly focus on making these versions something people want to listen to.

What in the Taylor swift is this?👀😂

Billboard really needs to put a cap on this shit. You get one version of the song and a remix that count. Anything else charts as its own, separate song.

I’m so tired of this. I think some alternative versions are fun, and I understand when artists create them, but I’m exhausted 😭. They’re not interesting remixes 99.9% of the time.
I get that artists smaller than the Beyoncés, Taylor Swifts, BTS, etc of the world need these multiple versions to sell enough records for their labels to even let them release new music but it just feels like a cash grab every single time. I always think of Halsey saying they can’t release another album because The Great Impersonator didn’t do Taylor numbers but I really don’t want every artist doing this.
