You're going too far. Repent sis.

....Lol.

Omg I never thot of that, I was wondering why Taylor's views were so high

You're saying my argument is flawed but yet

You just proved my point? 22 was released when streaming started to rise even more.

Mess.

When was auto-play introduced by the way? Not to diminish her views which are really impressive but I feel like any video I watch on YouTube tends to direct me to a Taylor Swift video afterwards

Autoplay views are not counted by youtube. Youtube could detect if a user consciously makes a decision to watch. Automatic playing is not counted but nice try

The day after it was released on Spotify: 19 Sep, 2014 - 1880873
7 days after that: 26 Sep, 2014 - 2800337
7 days after that: 3 Oct, 2014 - 2953743
7 days after that: 10 Oct, 2014 - 2927793
7 days after that: 17 Oct, 2014 - 2906974
7 days after that: 24 Oct, 2014 - 3061149
7 days after that: 31 Oct, 2014 - 3005895

So her views were still huge, consistent and even increasing DESPITE being available on Spotify?

Sure, they increased after Spotify couldnt stop promoting her exit from the platform and with all the hype from the album being released and wrecking the charts, but the views were still massive before?

Right? Talk about grabbing straws.

This is a very useful post because it is proof that there is no correlation between youtube views and lack of availability on spotify

Let me bookmark

Those Taylor Swift stans claiming that she will do it faster. Of course, duh. Youtube is her only way to stream.

lol
did you even read alestevens post
there's no correlation. If I'm a swiftie and i'm on spotify and can't find taylor i'd be more likely to listen to it on itunes or on the album that i bought than on youtube

I love how you forgot to mention that SIO got its biggest views since August on November 7th; 4 days after the Spotify removal, no?

It started gaining 4-3 million views daily after the Spotify removal, no?

No one is denying that her videos are huge but to say the Spotify removal hasn't helped her a lot is stupid. Everyone besides Taylor fans agree with this because it's true and a logical explanation... her music is only available to stream from her music videos on VEVO/Youtube so the GP are stuck to streaming her from there.

No one is trying to downplay her achievements so you need to chill. Admit it and move on.

SIO closed the gap on DH by more than 5 million in the week before last. Only a matter of time before it overtakes both DH and Roar.

SIO closed the gap on DH by more than 8 million in the last week. It is increasing how quickly it is catching up.

Impressive
interestingly roar will also snatch DH soon

Update
SIO-933,959,966 views
DH-1,033,956,497 views
100m view gap

Yes, SIO will definitely snatch Dark Horse.

Oh, and regarding DH being on Spotify: keep in mind DH amassed 1.3B streams in total in 2 years, while SIO reached 1B streams in total (accounting the streams it had on Spotify before being removed) in less than a year. It's clear who's the winner in this case.
