Taylor Swift's album "folklore" expected to go back to #1 in its 7th week after the CMA Performance

Wow, China really does love her, eh? 

1 million sales came from China, and 300k came from WW so she really has a huge chinese fanbase

Also Taylor constantly pushes for her numbers to be updated which is SUPER ANNOYING, if any other main pop girl did this they wouldn’t get away with it. 

I agree. I dont understand how her stand stay she no more cares for the charts when sis, why would she be pulling 16 different versions of the album with different covers and tons of bundles with the digital copy. Also to note, she did this in the last week of billboard counting bundle sales. I am not saying it's a bad thing, but it's quite obvious that she still wants to pull numbers, especially with a very risky album.

That’s a world wide chart boo. We’re discussing first week US sales.

Billboard is more relatable than both.

I can confirm. China loves her. She’s THE pop girl in China. Nobody touches her here. Not even Ariana.  Kind of like Avril Lavigne in Asia in the early 2000s. Atm she might as well be the most popular western act in China. Regardless gender or genre.

When britney was in her prime (1998-2004), how huge was she in China? Which was her biggest song from there/?

When she was in her prime she was also huge in China. I think in the early 2000s, She together with Avril and Backstreet Boys were the most popular pop artists here. We even had a nickname which translates to ‘little sweetie’ because of her sweet and innocent image during her debut era. When she was mentioned on tv they always called her ‘little sweetie Britney’ instead of Britney Spears. I think her biggest songs in China are the same ones as in the rest of the world: baby one more time, oops, toxic, gimme more, etc. Even though she’s not as active as before in the industry she has reached the legendary status in China and still has a very loyal fan base here. She has also gained a lot of respect in the dance community because her songs are used a lot by dancers and she is a phenomenal dancer herself.

Yeah IMO she was bigger than Taylor in her prime. People here consider her to be as big as Madonna and MJ. When she had her breakdown I was in primary school. All I can remember is it was all over the news and media were quite cruel towards her. She was portrayed to be crazy and unstable. A lot of Mariah Carey breakdown comparisons were made. Fans were sad especially when she lost custody of her children.

Well it does seem media around the world had been very rude and harsh towards britney. In the circus era AKA comeback era, she was also quite huge right? 

Also, out of the topic question, is beyonce popular in China, or unknown since she doesnt perform that great in asia markets?

Her comeback was a historical event in pop music. Everyone here was kind of expecting her triumphant return because she was so young and had so much potential(which i think she still does). Both Circus and FF did very well here too.

Yoncé also has a huge fan base here. I think the reason why she doesn’t do as well in Asia is because a lot of people here are still quite conservative sometimes even misogynistic deep down inside. Beyoncé is strong and powerful. I think that’s making some people uncomfortable. Which is unfortunate. But young people love her. Also in recent years people here really started appreciating black and hip hop culture. Which I think will help her career in China a lot.

No problem! I heard she was supposed to perform in China too during Onyx Hotel tour. Sometimes I wonder how much of the show would be censored if it wasn’t cancelled.😂

So nobody has ever got to hear the full pop masterpiece “In the zone” is?  

Imagine if they cut toxic too  

I feel sad for all the Chinese living to this day, think ITZ is an EP  

I don’t want to imagine blackout and Bionic now

I was talking about physical albums. People know it's a full length album since they can still stream or buy pirated CDs. For some reason they think if it's only online it's fine. Things work quite differently here, before an album is released here it has to be checked by state administration of radio, film and television to make sure it's not too ****** or contain subliminal political messages against you know who.

 

Balckout and Bionic were not released in any physical form here at all. You can only stream those. My friend also told me Doja's album cover was censored for some reason. Imagine how tired we are..
