There's a point where you have to try to decrease the hype so you won't go over-exposed and KILL your career .
TBP can put out 10 music videos per era but they won't catch the success of Taylor .
They don't have anything to think about before putting out new videos or music , no risks .

Thanks for the thought Bahjat!
1) I compared them to Taylor Swift because her debut era only had 4 music videos. TBP got 5. My take on that is that BMR is now big and wealthy compared before, so excused.
2) The 10 mv comment. What are you trying to say exactly? It doesn't make sense yet to me because success is not measured by the number of music videos you release per era. My understanding of your comment is that The Band Perry has nothing on Taylor Swift (which I think is true even if we fast-forward time), was that what you were trying to say?
3) Of course not, there are always risks, they have something to think about before releasing a music video. The costs. It's not cheap to produce a music video you know.
4)KILL your career comment. If that's with regards to Fearless era, I completely agree. If that's in relation to Sparks Fly, no. How many "music videos" do we have this Speak Now era?
1. Mine
2. Back to December
3. Mean
4. The Story of Us
5. Ours
We actually have 5. And the fifth one came after Sparks Fly. It doesn't look like they were trying to decrease the hype don't they?
Ours was released to keep the streak of two Billboard No. 1's per era and that they have to end it on a high note. Hence all the promotions and marketing.
And lastly,
Ours cannot be compared to You Belong With Me and Love Story, Mean and Mine for they have been performed and promoted more, plus the other two singles were lead singles, and the other two were the main third punch of the era.
If Ours was on the main edition and was released as the fifth single, the digital sales won't be as great. It'll be just another love song from Taylor Swift.
that was one taylor song past era that i certainly didnt think for a moment, would struggle so much to reach platinum!!
