You fail to understand my point. Their article on 1989 was not a review. It didn't talk about the music at all, except to list the track names. They didn't talks about any of the music and what they sounded like and what they thought of them. Their other reviews talk about the actual music and what they thought of them. They didn't do that for 1989, they just pretended to be Taylor Swift making a speech. Maybe MC didn't consider it a review because there was no review taking place.

That doesn't make sense though. A lot of the Rebel Heart reviews (actually most pop girl releases) are simply just all about the critics shading the singer's personal live/public persona and they are still counted.
