Charts should just ban alternative versions from being listed. Or give them one remix/deluxe edition, only. If the majority of the album has not changed it just shouldn't be considered.

There, problem solved.

She announced this before Olivia even announced the remix. This wasn’t a “blocking” attempt

I’m confused why Olivia’s remix is any different than what Taylor’s doing. 

Taylor’s release timing is def suss but I’m not going to “be upset” one artists remix came out at another artists remix.

This single instance, if it were in a vacuum, would be comparable. But obviously it’s not existing in a vacuum and TS has done these chart blocking shenanigans multiple times to only female artists. Has OR countlessly chart blocked so blatantly & deliberately?
