Your stance on which has better lyrics and video is completely subjective. Not a fact. And problem debuted with 438k whereas Blank space has been selling in the mid 100k region. Do you really think Blank space will be certified 4x platinum when Shake it off is still only 2x platinum?

That post only mentioned Taylor and Ariana. Maybe you quoted the wrong one?

taylor is destroying ariana dear lethal, i think its time to leave the bandwagon like the rest of this forum

wowowow yes compare a single released in april to a single released 2 weeks ago

blank space is already doing better than break free on itunes + youtube

Obviously Taylor has been more succesful but Ariana deserves the title. Taylor has been slaying for years while this has been Ariana's breakout year. I dont think many expected her to get 4 top 10 hits, a vma moonman, another #1 album, etc

I'm not a bandwagon, I've always stanned for Ariana. You don't even know me like that Here's a shocker, most of Ariana's fans actually enjoy her music (like me) and aren't just following her success. I'll never understand why people think all Ariana Stan's are bandwagoners when we are one of the most loyal fanbases out there. Hell, I was around when baby I flopped and whaddaya know I'm still here. I am not a bandwagon don't ever call me that please.

If you compare Problems first two weeks to blank spaces first two weeks:
- Problem had already sold 700k and reached #3
- Blank Space had already sold 290k and reached #13

Problem was way bigger imo.

who cares about certifications :lmao; SIO is almost at 3 million and is still selling 150k weekly and will probably top 4 million eventually with the holidays push problem will remain at 3.2M

1989 sold more than ME
SIO was bigger than Problem WW
Blank Space will be bigger than Break Free for sure
Taylor announced a huge arena/stadium tour
Taylor got more critical acclaim

...

Taylor by far.

no one cares

problem was a lead single and blank space is the second single

blank space is already shaping up to be the bigger second single (duh) and it will probably overtake problem in the long run too

This is BS' second week as a single and its coming for #1 and a week of sales similar to Problem's with no pre-orders and with it already being available in an album that has sold millions in 2 weeks.
Your point?

BS is predicted to sell in the mid 300k this week. Problem sold a whole 100k more than that in its first week. And I don't understand the point in not including preorders, if BS had preorder I would count them too.

And 1989 has sold 1.6M in 2 weeks not 2M

Ariana isn't even in the running.

This year's is Taylor's followed by katy, and Bey.

Comparing Problem to BS is ridiculous. You should be comparing their lead singles, and in that regard Shake It Off murdered Problem.

I wouldn't say murdered, but yes you are correct in that respect.

and Blank Space will definitely be bigger than Break Free.

And don't even get me started on album sales

Compare Shake it off's first week with Problem's, the actual lead singles.

Did Ariana's second single sell 300-250k in one week? oh wait its only at 1.3 million and sold 160k in the first week

Well, I agree with you on that. I'm not delusional.

Well, Taylor is bigger than Ariana so I'm not surprised she's had a little bit more succes than Ariana so far. Eventually Ariana well be on her level tho I think. She just started.

Yes
