I'm honestly surprised that sales receipts are the first thing we pull out when we want to drag another user? Talent is subjective, so it makes it ten times more interesting to debate.

It's the only way they can "prove" their fave's superiority, because they know next to nothing about music.

every fanbase does it, until their faves start flopping.

because most of the pop girls lack talent, so what else can they drag about?

for dragging rights and a false sense of fulfilment/accomplishment

Because numbers don't lie...

How can we compare their talent tho? It's so subjective. And i guess people use sales to compare success not talent.

I guess numbers speak on their own.

I like my fave for different reasons though.

It's silly. Music quality is far more important than sales.

the sad part that 80% of ATRL Start hating on a song or an album just because it underperformed

This thread gets made every week.

Because most of their faves don't have talent.

They believe her fave is bigger than anyone in the world just because the sales. And they believe that they are superior to another fan base just because her fave is selling well with it's current era.

They feel safe when her fave is selling well. Otherwise they stop being stans.

Yes but that's not necessary a bad thing.
There are many albums I decided to check out because of how well they were selling and ended up discovering great new music. Sales matter but it shouldn't be the only focus.

Girl no one is checking 24/7, never saw a thread like this so I made one. I'm sure there are others who haven't seen it as well and would be happy to discuss it.

Couldn't have said it better myself sis

My thing is when people start stanning for sales to the point where it becomes unhealthy. Like, let's remember that you aren't the artist. Have a seat.

sales = quality

did you not know?

.

The thing is music subjective.

So when you use sales it shows as a whole more people subjectively 'liked' something enough to buy it. When people don't buy something, you can subjectively say a population doesn't 'like' it or at least like it enough to spend hard earned money on it.

I mean its a debate whether you to make high quality music that no one wants to listen to, or normal quality that most of the population can connect to.
