Why its big gain in streaming (when the song's official video premiered on Aug. 18, the day that it was released)? Swift posted four clips on her Vevo channel (on YouTube) in the past four days featuring outtakes from the video; as they include the song's audio, their clicks count toward the track's total streaming in the chart's tracking week.
The shameless chart manipulation
They need to remove video streams from the Hot 100 asap.
it's quite obvious that her team is using chart manipulation this era
why else would she decide to do pre-orders if not for the sudden case of pre-orders shooting promo singles up on iTunes???
Oh, what can I do?
To turn you on or get through to you
Oh, what can I do?
Life is beautiful but you don't have a clue
Sun and ocean blue
Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you
'Popular' implies it is indicative of what the GP thinks is the hottest track at any given time
Do the GP choose what is played on ze radio?
actually they do
because if the GP didn't like a song they would change the station or call in and express their dislike of a song (as evident by TIHWD getting high spins but barely any audience impressions)
radio DJ's create their playlist based on what radio listeners (the GP) want to hear
