first of all NO. Don't be petty, and accept a loss when it happens. Not that hard. And second, this is the first thread I see on it so my apologies if this topic is redundant. I know Ariana vs Demi and Selena vs Demi get posted often, but I hadn't seen Ari vs Sel.
This. GFY is incredibly generic and radio friendly
and Focus is NOT generic? Take the hypocrisy elsewhere please. I can't think of a single song on the radio at the time or now that was in any way similar to GFY.
I can think of numerous that sound like Focus/DW though...

Streams + album sales matter, and somehow, it seems, Ariana obliterates her in both.
& aren't these higher than like... any Selena first week song sales ever?

One star has been around for almost 10 years in the industry
is this an argument FOR Selena or against her? Because imo, it tends to be harder for a celebrity that's been in the game to debut with bigger numbers 10 years into their career. It would seem to be that a fresher, newer celebrity coming from a huge era should have no difficulty having the bigger debut...
It's not our fault that Ariana is SO in demand that artist from ALL genres are RUNNING to her for a feature. Queen her power
More like the other way around sister, there's a reason why it's Ariana FEAT. X and not X feat. Ariana (like I Want You To Know by Zedd, who ran to Selena for a feature, but failed to get a hit with the queen since the song was reductive as ****)
What do Selena stans personally have against Ariana? You'll dedicate more time to her than you do your own fav. Are you not entertained?
I personally have nothing against Ariana. Not a fan, but I don't dislike her. If anything, one of the reasons I'm comparing is since Ariana's last era was so impressive. There's not many stars I don't like (but they'd probably be Demi and Justin)

GFY had already been done by Lana/Lorde ( a sound that was already popularized 3 years prior to the songs release) there was nothing new nor innovative about GFY, ironically Selena's biggest single GFY is a feature as well.
