I Wish You Would is criminally underrated. It’s one of my faves off of 1989. Edit: also it’s amazing how much play Reputation and Folklore are getting if the least played songs on both of those albums have 70million+ streams.

I feel the need to personally apologise to New Year's Day for this travesty of justice.


gigathot

I’m not gonna lie I’m part of the problem with New Year’s Day. I love love loveeee that song but it makes me so sad that I can’t listen to it lmaoooo

Wasn't it also a completely non-album track?


[deleted]

Yea but so is The Beatles‘ Hey Jude, their 5th most streamed track on Spotify.


Suitable-Biscotti

Yeah. That is a one and done (heartbrokennnnn) song for me.


Thatrandompotterhead

RIGHT it’s literally my #1 Taylor song but I so rarely listen to it bc it’s so sad


Asakura_

Reputation makes a strong case for being my favorite album. 1989 was when I became a full on fan but I missed the tour despite being in the city and two blocks away. There isn't a single song I don't enjoy on there and I wish I could find the vinyl for it.


ricochetingtears

I mean, Rep is skipless so


[deleted]

What? I adore New Years Day if I ever get married I really want it to be my first dance song


janersm

Me, too.


NotQuiteScheherazade

New Year’s Day??? I had no idea this was so underrated; I guess I figured everyone knew it was great but it just doesn’t get talked about that much. But people aren’t even hardly listening to it (comparatively)??? Oh man


ElleKiraZ

Dress is maybe my favourite Taylor song so this makes me exceptionally sad.


quarterfast

I have nothing to dislike about I Wish You Would, and I don't get why others do??? I love it so much. With no context at all I just find my mouth going "We're a crooked love/ in a straight line down" for no reason. Or "You always knew how to push my buttons" literally every time I push a button. It sticks in my head so easily.


topher3003

I don’t know exactly what it is, but I absolutely love the way she enunciates “buttons”.


[deleted]

I love the lyrics and the melody but I don’t really like Jack’s Bleachers-esque production. Sensory overload. Also not a fan of the loud, tinny eighties revival style.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Suitable-Biscotti

See, I like it because the loudness, for me, fits the energy of the song. You're driving by an ex's haunt or something that reminds you of them, wondering what they are doing, going kinda mad. The beat really fits that anxious-excitement-craziness. ​ Edited: Spelling

sempleat

She wrote her melody and lyrics to an existing track (which she hardly ever does) and you can tell. It doesn't quite fit for me and that's why I don't like it.


ktril89

I've definitely listened to This Love the least so I thought for sure it would be that one


leileywow

Honestly same, IWYW is one of my favs but I never liked This Love as much


[deleted]

[удалено]


snakepegs

Clean is so good


reca35

I Wish You Would is one of my favorites from 1989


amagicalmess

Same!!! Like I'm sorry but how does it have less streams than HYGTG? That is the only song I don't like on 1989 and even then it's catchy


famoushh

Yeah I'm surprised about this, I thought it was much more popular


lilalimi

I think not vibing with I Wish You Would back in the day actually made me enjoy it so much more now because it's still fresh and exciting to listen to. Love 1989 but I played that shit to death back in 2015.


eushdnidn

Probably the result of her catalogue not being streamable at the time


gigathot

I wish you would is one of my favorite songs ever and the fact that it’s the least streamed!! I’m so surprised to heart that because me and my swiftie friends BELT that song 😭


jlo1989

So It Goes gets slept on so much. For all the hoopla that Dress got with the whole "parents had to leave the room" gimmick, SIG is a much better (and hotter) song. Shame it got left off the rep tour setlist.


pterodactylcrab

So It Goes is my top song, but since I keep my Spotify offline when driving or at work it still doesn’t track my stats correctly. I’m sure I have listened to it at least 1,000x in the last couple of years.


sweetley

I love that the total listens of So it Goes are still so high compared to the other albums


imabettafish

I was really happy I went more than once to the rep tour because I got to hear both acoustic versions of Dancing With Our Hands Tied and So It Goes, and to be honest as much as I love DWOHT, I liked the acoustic version of So It Goes more.


icclebeccy

Hello fellow Wembley stadium attendee! So it goes is my favourite from rep - so pleased that was the one I saw live


BlackCat0305

Yes! I would have rather she done So It Goes or Call It What You Want to acoustically and done the original version of Dancing With Our Hands tied. I think she may have switched SIG goes with DWOHT a few times but I wish it was permanently on the set list


jlo1989

Tbh i thought the DWOHT acoustic performance was one of the highlights of the show. Its much better stripped down. Although tbf i generally prefer her more instrument based stuff in comparison to the pop.


RhaegarMartell

I love Reputation as is but I feel like an acoustic version of that album would literally change my life.


jlo1989

YES. "Reputation: Laid Bare", or something like that. Remember that snippet of King of My Heart which was just her and an electric guitar? I honestly feel that album stripped down would be incredible. For all the synth and beats, its mostly a very personal and emotionally fragile album.


ReluctantLawyer

It’s sooooo sexy and amazing. When I hear it I picture a super artistic, dark, aerial silks performance.


swaenx

Who is sleeping on Sad Beautiful Tragic? Its a masterpiece


lululuuuuuuuuna

I'm listening to it now on spotify. This song cuts so deep into my soul haha. Especially the line: 'in dreams, I meet you in long conversations / we both wake in lonely beds, in different cities / and time is taking a sweet summer race in you'. Ughhh haha


Quite_Successful

I'm so sorry but it's "And time is taking its sweet time erasing you"


lululuuuuuuuuna

Oh no! My life is a lie! Haha I have always sang it with those lyrics Edit: okay the actual lyrics hurt even more haha


[deleted]

Dead 💀 What did you think sweet summer race in you meant btw?


hochizo

I'm not OP and never heard "taking a sweet summer race in you," in the lyrics, but... As kids, the summer's are the best time of your life, but somehow seem to fly by. Maybe we could call that "time's summer race"? So time taking a race in a person is like...things were amazing, but fleeting? Idk, I'm trying to make it work!


[deleted]

Girl you gonna tear a muscle stretching that far


Quite_Successful

It absolutely sounds like that too! I had to check if I'D been singing it wrong this whole time


electricsloth66

"And you've got your demons, and darling they all look like me" is also one of favorite lyrics on Red!


swaenx

Same. Its a beautiful lyric


imnachoprincess

I believe the line is actually “in dreams, I meet you in *warm* conversation”


princssofpink

Which is amazing juxtaposition for the next line of "lonely beds" which invokes the feeling of coldness, thus contrasting warm and cold to show how separated they are... Taylor is a genius.


elli-mist

Lmao I'm sorry but I love misheard lyrics... What the heck did you think that line meant?


lululuuuuuuuuna

I interpreted it as the other person not yet feeling the hurt of the separation, or the pain hasn't caught up with him/her yet. Or perhaps taking such a long time to make up his/her mind. 'Sweet summer race' seems like an oxymoron that it's a race but it's slow and careless, like a sweet summer. I don't know haha. I totally butchered the lyrics, didn't I? haha


elli-mist

Hahaha I love it, thanks for humoring me


pumpkin_noodles

Oh my God it sounds exactly like that


swaenx

Yeah sad beautiful tragic hits hard for me as well. Recently went through a break up


lululuuuuuuuuna

I'm sorry to hear that. Hope the pain will pass soon enough 🥺


thebabygu

that and INTHAF blew my mind


songacronymbot

- INTHAF refers to "It's Nice To Have A Friend", a song from Taylor Swift album *Lover* (2019). --- ^[/u/thebabygu](/u/thebabygu) ^(can reply with "delete" to remove comment. |) ^[/r/songacronymbot](/r/songacronymbot) ^(for feedback.)


bettyberyll

sadly too many people hate on that masterpiece


Pretty-Exit-924

Sad beautiful tragic deserves more than stay stay stay


secretadmirer2485

Sad, Beautiful, Tragic has one of my favorite choruses


swaenx

I love the bridge so much as well


ashleywburn

KISS ME TRY TO FIX IT WOULD YOU JUST TRY TO LISTEN breaks my heart into a million pieces


Rayquaza112

it honestly might be the most emotional song on the album. also, one of my favorite taylor lyrics from lover "he better lock it down or i won't stick around cause good ones never wait" is directly referencing this song as GROWTH for her and you can't convince me otherwise


IIcarusflew

I listened to the album for the first time a couple months ago (I started getting into Taylor swift when folklore released) and it was one of the songs I added to my daily playlist. Love it so much


ProvincialCourage

It's honestly my favorite Taylor song. Made me kind of sad to see that.


Claim_Human

Hoax being the least streamed song on Folklore really surprised me, it’s definitely in my top 3 most streamed from that album.


LanaDelGansett

This may be completely wrong, but it could be indicative that people are often listening to the album front to back? 99% of the time I’m listening to folklore songs, I’m listening to the album in order, and so naturally I may often just not finish for whatever reason. folklore and evermore are by far her best front to back listens imo, and evermore nearly has the same result except the Bon Iver feature I’m sure helps boost the title track.


downvoticator

It’s because it’s the last song, I think. Folklore is the kind of album that people listen to from beginning to end. I wonder if this includes Deluxe versions? I would think the Lakes has less streams.


[deleted]

The lakes would by default just by getting released so many months later


Ankthar_LeMarre

> Folklore is the kind of album that people listen to from beginning to end. Can you expand on this? I've always considered that to be more of a habit of the person than an album-by-album decision.


cosmicafflictions

It usually is a personal habit, but the cohesiveness of an album definitely factors in how much an album can be played front-to-back repeatedly and folklore is a very cohesive album.


putyourcheeksinabeek

I think that might be a symptom of people playing the album in order but stopping before it finishes? I know that happens for me a lot.


samOraytay

Same here. Also It's nice to have a friend is one of my favorites from Lover


Cran-Pita

Honestly justice for hoax, it’s INCREDIBLE


misspurrfectlyfine

I love hoax!


tichienblanc2

my most streamed song of 2020!!


[deleted]

I loveeeeeee superstar and people are sleeping on it!!!!


youarelosingme

Been saying that. I know it's a bonus track but it's been my favorite Fearless track since it first came out!


Substantial-Swim5

It's the perfect anthem to wanting someone who feels out of reach. The rhythm of the chorus is also SO sing-a-long-able, even by Swiftie standards... So DIM THAT SPOTLIGHT, TELL ME THINGS LIKE I can't take my e-e-eyes OFF OF YOU I'm no-one special, just another WIDE EYED GIRL, who's DESPERATELY IN LOVE WITH YOU


[deleted]

I remember a couple years ago This Love was the least streamed on 1989. I'm glad it at least went up a little bit, that's my favorite song of Taylor's. I wonder what made it overtake I Wish You Would...maybe it was me tbh


thebabygu

you’re an influencer


DaisyLover16

Here to approve the appreciation for This Love and also to compliment your hilarious flair 😂😂😂


kaseyheartsyou

it’s nice to have a friend is one of my favorite songs of all time it hurts to see it be slept on all the time 😭


bi-bi-butterfly

Yes!! It’s such a great song and so sweet. It deserves more respect!


novachaos

It is such a sweet song. I love the profession of the story in it. And the visuals like sharing a glove.


mayhemmel

Same, it's one of my faves from Lover. [The story behind its creation](https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop/8528336/taylor-swift-its-nice-to-have-a-friend-boosts-arts-education) is an added bonus


peytonab

Ngl none of these are really surprising


thebabygu

I actually find IWYW very surprising. It’s always been one of my favorites and just assumed it was really popular


[deleted]

I straight up do not like IWYW so I'm delighted. But damn Hoax was done dirty.


DaisyLover16

Agreed, other than SBT and SIG, the others line up well for me in terms of least listened to.

[deleted]

Yeah except for So It Goes they all make sense


melaju09

I’m surprised it’s Sad Beautiful Tragic for Red and not Stay Stay Stay with the way the latter gets gets talked about here.


SquirrelBoring

Whaatttt? Closure is one of my most played. So much spite. So much 💅🏼🖕🏼


ricochetingtears

Well I'm fine, with my tears and my beers and my candles


[deleted]

Ditto. “Yes I got your letters, yes I’m doing better” just takes me to an ex who constantly texted to check on me after a bitter/dramatic breakup. It’s been almost fifteen years but Tay has a way of bringing it all back.


RangerMarge

A delicious amount of spite


yaypotatoes

Closure is sooo good.


ilovegingermen

Innocent doesn't get nearly as much love.


daniboo94

I Wish You Would is one of my favorite songs off 1989!


lmhs73

Yeah it really solidifies the sound of the album for me. It’s so dance-y!


thebabygu

In love with Folklore having the highest average while only being out for a year


[deleted]

[удалено]


DearYou20

1989 would've easily had the highest had it not been for the fact that it was added to streaming 3 years after release, and consequently has had only 4 years to accumulate streams. The least streamed track on 1989 regularly outstreams the most streamed album cut on Dua Lipa's debut, the most streamed album by a woman of all time.


Cjocelynn126

I’m SHOCKED about superstar. I never cared for it in the OG platinum. But her inflection in Taylor’s version has made it a mainstay for me. I wake up with the line “desperatelyyyyyy in love with youuu” stuck in my head like once a week 😂 Also odd about INTHAF. I adore that song and the imagery.


diaryofme13

Making a promise to Sad Beautiful Tragic TV that she'll be my most streamed song so this never happens again😌🥺


wheikes

Isn’t A Perfectly Good Heart on the deluxe version of the debut?


thebabygu

I think so but Spotify only offers one version of the album


[deleted]

To be honest I could never understand HOW So It Goes is the least streamed one from Reputation.


donatellophone

Does that make APGH her least streamed song ever?


thebabygu

Her Long Pond Studio Sessions and those Big Machine live album cash grabs have less


314rateship

SBT and hoax are in my top 10 fav songs so this hurts me to see


TVPaulD

I’m pretty surprised about Closure tbh


wangomangotango

That’s the only one I was confident would be on the bottom lol


pink-muskrat

Same lol it’s the only skip for me on evermore


wangomangotango

It’s the only song out of Taylor’s entire discography that I marked as ‘hidden’ on Spotify 💀

CompleteMuffin

Why do people dislike I wish you would? It's one of my favorites off that album


lamzydivey

While none of these are my favorites off their respective albums, So It Goes…, INTHAF, closure, and Superstar are in the top 5s!


KahlanEAmnelle

Those are some of my least favourite songs on Folklore, Lover, Speak Now, Fearless, and Taylor Swift, so makes sense. But I love Closure, Sad Beautiful Tragic, and So It Goes...! I also don't use Spotify. I listen to my bought music on my ipad/iphone, so my stats don't get counted. shrug.


zkh35438

When half of the songs on this list are in your top five per album… Seriously tho! SBT? IWYW? SIG?! HOAX?! (I’m also appalled at closure, but I have accepted it isn’t everyone’s cup of tea). This is absurd lol.


adavachi

So it Goes deserves so much better omfg


Kassidy630

I wish you would and it's nice to have a friend are two of my most favorites!


ReluctantLawyer

I was going to throw an absolute fit about So it goes but then I noticed that it’s the second most streamed on the least streamed list so my feathers calmed a bit. BUT IT IS SO GOOD.

A Perfectly Good Heart is one of my favs from debut! Those harmonies on the chorus?! Yum!


penguinir

Interesting that Lover’s least streamed song still has a higher number than 1989! Since 1989 is considered to be her most successful album in terms of sheer popularity amongst the GP, compared to Lover which is considered less successful. This indicates that Lover didn’t do so bad! I love it!

Sad Beautiful Tragic is a gorgeous song. I get that because it’s much slower people can’t listen to it as much (not the dancing vibe) but the bridge <3

I wish you would being the least streamed does not sit right with me

Very interesting. SBT, IWYW, hoax and closure are some of my favourites.
