^^ That's what I thought. I was confused when they were saying she had snatched Taylors itunes record.
I looked on wikipedia, and it's says It took Problem an hour to top the chart .
It topped iTunes that fast because of the pre-orders. Once it was fully available, iTunes systems also counted all the pre-orders it accumulated for the past few days. Shame if iTunes consider it as breaking Taylor's record tho
Even with Taylor Swift, at least her songs are about something. They may be about some ex-boyfriend’s scarf or other trivial matter, but at least there’s a story arc. At least her songs are coherent on paper, and are drawn from inspiration. Compare that with the verses of your average Florida Georgia Line song and Swift feels like Faulkner.

Even if itunes allows it, she will always be known for taking it from Taylor the wrong way
Scooter Braun is a very good MANAGER, he's very good at making superstars. But nobody can make legend other than legend herself/himself. It's not just about the star power, album sales, even talent, legend needs VERY STRONG (to last long enough) AND EXCELLENT (to be super star) personality, our Lord has them all. You can compare.

Eric, how do you think Lorde’s songwriting compares with Taylor’s?

The two are very difficult to compare. If we consider the sonic component of songwriting, Taylor’s songs obviously have far greater melodic variation than Lorde’s. With regard to the lyrics, Lorde excels at thematic expression (she would be great with political songs, for example), whereas Taylor excels at storytelling.

Problem is a bop though
