I just found it weird that you would single out Taylor outselling Ariana on the first day, when in reality Taylor outsold every single artists first week in 1 day for 2014. Like that comment just didn't make any sense at all to me. Taylor is the biggest artist on the globe right now, you can't compare her to Ariana who is just now getting her foot in the door.

Neither. Tove Lo, Tinashe, FKA Twigs......all of these are new musicians that have had reasonable critical acclaim, and are, you know, actual emerging acts.....

Literally never heard of any of those people. I'm sure the poll was being more logical than just listing people's unheard of favs?

Why does it even matter lmaoo it's not like Taylor doesn't completely demolish Ariana in album sales...

because...obviously....taylor...removed...her..... music...from...there??!? really doesn't take a genius

Problem outpeaked SIO in the UK yet SIO outsold it there and its STILL in the Top 5 while Problem left the Top 15 at this point

can't think of any other major market Ariana outpeaked Taylor in

I can assure you Taylor has more points than Ariana or is going to overtake her soon because she's #2 this week with 360k

and you literally have the nerve to think problem was more global

But isn't that what this thread is about.

And still you decided to choose Ariana over Taylor in your first post!

I don't need research to know Iggy had a lot more impact in 2014 that than squeaky polished young label creation. Then again I'm not here for sounds and styles that have already been done 100 times before so maybe that stopped me from paying attention.

I agree tho

How could you argue for Ariana against Taylor?

You'd be forgiven for never having heard of FKA Twigs or Tinashe (although both are quite popular on ATRL and the latter had one of the biggest urban hits of the year here), but Tove Lo has the third biggest song in the country right now as well as the biggest song on radio.

None of the three are really qualified for "It Girl 2014" though.

Taylor Swift, no competition at all

We aren't comparing them based on sales tho. We're comparing them based on who has had a bigger respective year in relation to their previous work. Ariana has almost completely owned this year. She won't stop slaying

Yes, it does.

Taylor is winning in EVERY department except the "Top 10 singles" one but that's only because she released 2 (that are destroying Ariana's entire career)

Are we going to pretend problem never existed or...

Cuz it blows blank space completely out of the water.

"Ariana has almost completely owned this year"

But once Taylor released SIO everyone stopped checking for Ariana.

And Taylor also outdid every effort Ariana made.

Hence SIO outpeaking Problem, Blank Space outpeaking Break Free next week.

1989 outselling My Everything total sales in one day!

How is that not on topic? Did you even read what I said? I'm so confused why you would think that

I was just explaining why I think Ariana is the IT girl. How on earth is that off topic?

Bringing someone's fave, who is not mentioned at all in this thread, is pretty off topic if you ask me

----------------

Iggy and Ariana can't hold a candle to Taylor, let's be real

Because it´s been out for longer, it doesnt take a genius

SIO vs. Problem vs. WCS on the UWC (week by week):
509K (#1) / 384K (#2)
399K (#2) / 240K (#3)
354K (#1) / 249K (#2)
394K (#1) / 286K (#4)

SIO - week #2 - 399K
SIO - week #4 - 394K
Problem - week #1 - 384K
