Taylor Swift sets music album sales record

[Street Hunger]

CNN.com: "The superstar pop singer has now broken the record for most No. 1 albums by a female artist, according to Billboard."

CNN.com: "She is now also the first living artist in almost 60 years with four concurrent albums in the top 10, while also becoming the first woman and living soloist to have 11 albums concurrently charting on the Billboard 200 chart."

Sold her soul to the devil to attain it

[Jasper]

I remember when she was like 20 , se was worth 50 million bucks ...

Concept about life changes then.

[AlternativeAcc.]

Sold her soul to the devil to attain it

Nah she just made catchy music. Did every successful athlete sell their soul to the devil too to achieve success? Or did they just train... and were genetically gifted?

[Patrick Chewing]

Garbage music too. Makes you wonder how the hell she sells records to be honest.

[JohnnySic]

I dont understand why adults pay big money to watch a bubble gum pop princess perform songs she didn't even write. Tween girls, sure, but adults going to her concerts is weird. Go see an actual artist if you want to listen to live music.

If you arent a Michael Jackson / Prince level talent, "they" decide if youre gonna be a global star or not.

She performs satanic rituals within her videos and at concerts, these are things shes obviously been instructed to do so.

Why believe something with zero evidence and zero logic, I've never understood that.

You're talking to a guy who doesn't believe in Satan or other imaginary creatures so that stuff is lost on me.


It's just a girl who can sing and write catchy music bro. There's not some evil creature hand picking and deciding THEY are the ones to spread the evil through bubble gum pop music. :oldlol:

She's been around a while. A lot of them grew up with her music. Pretty sure she writes her own songs too and plays some intruments.

[ShawkFactory]

She's been around a while. A lot of them grew up with her music. Pretty sure she writes her own songs too and plays some intruments.

I think she's either written or co-written every song she's ever put out. Earlier on when she was getting big she wrote most of it herself and played guitar on some of it.

Yeah she was always one of the pop people that stuck out to me as actually being more talented than usual. She's not some Britney Spears type or something, she's like an Ed Sheeran.

But dudes get mad when people who make music that appeal to the masses sell a bunch of records instead of that uber talented band down the street at the patio bar. It's not real music afterall...

Right. I understand if it's not your style. No worries there, music is subjective. But to say that it's objectively not good just shows that they're salty.

I can relate. I really kind hate most of what Drake has put out in the last 10 or so years and would rather have listened to The Underachievers or Joey Bada$$, but I'm not going to say that Drake objectively sucks. Although as a rapper he's basic as hell, he does other things that clearly get through.

There are a lot of people who think pop music in general isn't 'real' music because it's basic. I think that's where most of the animosity comes from. It's too simple for them, so therefore it isn't real and worthy of selling records.

Most people aren't musically gifted and don't give a **** about how simple or complex a song is. They just wanna hear something catchy. And if you grow up hearing a bunch of Drake and Taylor swift at parties, on the radio, pretty much everywhere, then it makes sense why these people have the biggest shows and sell the most records.

Yea and it's always existed. You have some old Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin fans scoffing at someone who could possibly think the Beatles are better.

[SaltyMeatballs]

All of the white girls who are teenagers or young adults love her. Her voice and songs are mediocre at best. She's overrated as ****

[L.Kizzle]

No hate but ... Music sales are totally different then they were even 15 years ago , let alone the pre-soundscan era.

lmao, they dont ask you that. Its a process that happens. Swift might not even know. But shes been picked.

Of course she has talent.

So do thousand of other female singers.

Its not more complex at all.

They pick ones they can manipulate and that wont jump out of line.

This is where you just don't understand. It's not about being a talented young singer who looks good. Or who made a good song.

She was a 16-17 year old girl banging out dozens of catchy songs that she wrote herself. Who also had all of those other things. That's not normal.

[TheMan]

Garbage music too. Makes you wonder how the hell she sells records to be honest.

I honestly haven't heard a single one of her songs...but I'm gonna take your word that her music is trash, just looking at her I'm thinking I'm not wrong.

She can be as selfmade early on as she wants to be, there comes a point where you cross the treshold to global fame, and they decide if you get there or dont.

And if you dont oblige to their wants, you wont ever get there.

I cant find the cip anymore, but there was a rapper who said basicay at one point he was asked what path he wanted to go. Either left, be supported by them, and have obligations with that, or right, go his own way, and see how far he comes... he chose right and he never sold nearly as much ever since.

Could be true. But maybe it's also because they've heard retro pop music from 80s-00s and prefer that more than what they hear today. You are pretty accurate about saying how others find her songs to be catchy tho.

Yup. This is essentially the jist of it and a bunch of people don't realize she actually changed styles back then (started out as country but it didn't catch on). Musicians are going to go where the money goes until they get to a certain level where they can make what they want again. Surprisingly she did this in COVID and people still loved her stuff. I personally don't get it but I don't have to as I'm not the target audience. To many women I've talked to she's a symbol of power or vulnerability or whatever shit they feel but can't put into words. That's just human connection, not some cultist conspiracy bs

Isn't she also dating Austing Reaves or something?

Her music is ****ing torture man. You and me are probably in the same age group, so when I think of female singers, I go back to Ann Wilson, Stevie Nicks, and Sade. Pink is decent too. But these women have talent, whereas Taylor Swift does not.

[iamgine]

She's ok. I don't like her music that much save a couple songs but I can see why people like it.

AFD Arby thinks we should still burn “witches”, the man’s utterly braindead. Love seeing his peabrain rattling around trying to think of a rebuttal it’s so sad yet hilarious.

[ArbitraryWater]

Its possible they did, maybe they didnt and she broke out on her own merits. Either way, you dont make it to global superstardom without their approval, unless youre a generational/multi generational talent like MJ and Prince.

I also think these things were less monitored in those times.

but when the "cool singers" do it, it finds acceptance.

Wasn't the Behemoth singer (a Satanist) a pop idol program judge in recent years? You're European (lol yeah right) so surely you can enlighten us, oh wise one? :lol

Cool singers? Since when is Katy Perry a "cool singer"? Seems more like people who don't care so much about music much listen to her to have a good time.

I really shouldn't have to defend Katy Perry of all people, you asshole.

Who is they? The record labels? Just like any other business their goal is to make money. Not sure why you're confusing business decisions with satanic energy or think there's some evil shit you have to do to get popular. That's just not how it works.

[Wardell Curry]

She has a lot of talent and she writes a lot of her own stuff but damn I wonder what her life trajectory was if she didn't come from a very wealthy family. You never really know.

Her dad is like three generations of bankers deep and he bought a record label that then went on to sign her after the purchase. Nepotism runs deep in the world, even if ends up being warranted after the fact.

Arbitrary is off on some conspiracy shit here but I will say that bankers are generally not nice people. These are some of the biggest parasitic people on the planet.

They're on the same level as politicians and MBAs that took over corporations.

[Off the Court]

So Taylor Swift and Satan had meeting where she signed over her soul and Satan agreed to magically make everyone in the world purchase her cheesy love ballads?

There are literally people with down syndome who would laugh at that idea.

You don’t have to like them or their music yourself, but that’s why they’re so popular and their vids on YouTube easily hit hundreds of million views if not billions.

Nope, I don't really surf the net and I only watch YouTube videos I'm interested in, mostly just a few channels like Joe Scott, Why Files, Lemmino, Joe Rogan Experience, MrBallen, Kurzgesagt, PBS Eons, Stefan Milo etc that mostly deal with science, the universe, human evolution, and other human interests. That and about electric guitars and heavy rock music. I swear, my hand on the Bible that I've never heard a song of hers. Perhaps snippets maybe that I didn't know were hers but I cannot name even one song from hers. I have Spotify but I just listen to metal, classic rock, rock en Español and cumbias when it's a family gathering. You also got to take into account that I don't live in the US, Taylor Swift isn't that popular down here, Miley Cyrus is waaay bigger amongst female singers, I do recognize a number of her songs.

You're weird. You probably have heard some of her songs at times when you're outside considering they're mainstream. Tho i guess you're just not familiar with them so that's why you can't exactly remember which songs they were. Not a swiftie fan either but i do know how her voice sounds like.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Cs9Ep2UvpRm/

Can I make a recommendation?

You seem like a good enough peep. Stop watching political youtube videos and news, and caring so much about what goes on. You'll be happier.

She is a music artist, who performs theatre on stage and in videos. Will there be "themes" in her songs that might touch on religious, death, evil, etc. It isn't a big deal. No one really cares. Its just music.

I think most men, especially these days go through what you're on at the moment. Alpha male, awakened BS. Its just dribble for the most part much like the hyper aggressive marketing from the female boss bitch side, and you aren't unique, and you aren't special, more on to things or intelligent than anyone else.

Just chill out in life. Have some fun - and you'll be happier ignoring all of the garbage you watch now. You can't even control or make a difference in the "big picture" stuff you watch.



Anyway - on topic. Good on Taylor. Her music can be catchy, but her "songwriting" process was on one of her documentaries and its just her trying to find words that rhyme while humming. Not necessarily anything deep. She isn't the most talented, or close - but clearly the target market of 15-45 year old women is a huge consumerism high point - so she is the queen of the world.
