those "quick" little singles never left the top ten of the BBH100 for over a year, consecutively. dont try to call katys singles Quick, especially in the TD era.

the public doesnt care about singles going #1, they think ariana has 5 #1s with my everything

[taylor__fan]

Taylor's

But both are huge
And LFN didn't go #1 because of the remix, it sold enought to go #1 without it, and it was #1 for 2 weeks
The remix didn't even sold enough to credit Missy
ET remix was released since the begining, so we would never know if the song would have been #1 without the remix, I think it would, but that's just my opinion.

[M A R C]

5 #1's

[abrahamjmr]

What Taylor has done is far more impressive. Katy got those five #1s with singles discounts and lots and lots of radio plays, while Taylor has moved more than 1 million persons in the US to get her albums on their first weeks.

3 1M openings.

[Dingdong123]

The fact that ONLY Taylor Swift sodl 1M debuts for three albums says a lot to how hard it is to achieve that milestone.

[Sanctuary]

3 1m+ openings proves longevity and brand power + the royalties would be more.

[King Maxx]

1M+ doesn't happen often so overall that. All these girls could get 5 #1s if they knew how to market ****, and not give up after the first 3 singles.

[ceremonials]

both of them are incredibly hard to achieve + and is truly impeccable

but 1ml first week sales three time in a row is slightly more impressive, i think

[Khal]

Well if you look at it in isolation, 5 #1s might seem more impressive. But when you consider the album sales climate that Taylor achieved what she did, the crossing over of genres, then three 1m albums is a lot more impressive tbh

[KangBey]

The second option, I'm sure Florida and Pit Bull have accomplished the first option.

[Aden]

Taylor's accomplishment is actually hard to achieve in this climate and is a very rare occassion.

You can easily manipulate factors like streaming, airplay, and promotion to get a couple of successful singles.

[Katy V.!]

3 +1m, of course. It shows consistency (especially if the album before those 3 sold 7m )

5 #1s is really impressive, but it comes just from one album.

If everyone could do it, everyone would do it Literally the only one in recent memory with 3 #1s and gave up is Adele (she kinda gave up after 1 single).

[Jackson]

5 #1's considering it took place over 2 years and not 1 week every few years. People remember songs more than albums anyways

Going by this logic, the record is local as well

They need to cling to something.

[dirrtydiana]

5 #1s
Unless u pass Brits record. Otherwise several failed attempts are just sad.

Who else but MJ and Katy?

[hellocory]

In a market where getting a #1 song isn't all that hard, 3 1M+ opening weeks is much more impressive.

People remember a song like Last Friday Night over an entire album like Red?

[Icannot]

Three consecutive million openings of course. The fact She managed to increase the opening numbers with each subsequent release is even more impressive.
