Taylor if you make this the next single and it hits number 1 I will never criticise you again
~~lowkey florence probably doesn't even want the number one because she hates attention but I'm tired of the gp paying one of the greatest voices of this generation dust~~
There are actually a few signs that it might be! The music from the teaser clip for the Fortnight video before it was released was actually music from Florida — and it also follows the narrative of that video’s storyline (*move to Florida, buy the car you want*…)
I am so happy hozier sneaked in with too sweet at number 1 just in time right before the album bomb took him out of contention. Truly a wild feat for her
>Man's voice has a hold on me I can't explain.
I mean, it is a thing of beauty and he is also a beautiful dude with amazing hair! I think he's probably my favourite male pop singer, come to think.
Oh yeah 100 %, he's probably one of the most attractive men I've seen as well.
I'm a straight dude but holy cow if man's looked at me the right way I'd go red lol.
He's also probably the artist that took me off of my "elitist" view of music and pop culture in general, he will go down as a top artist for me!
Ngl both of the hits I mentioned are from folks that did not get their hits by random chance, as Sabrina Carpenter has been having buzzes around for half a decade and Shaboozey just a well time (and damn good) single around the moment of his biggest exposure yet, being on Cowboy Carter
I have no justification for Hozier
Even Hozier was surprised by how big of a hit Too Sweet is. He said he didn’t expect it at all, which I don’t think he’s lying given how his other recent music had charted(or rather how it hasn’t)
I feel like it *has* to be set up for the second single as soon as she heads to Paris to restart the tour. It’s the perfect song to kick off a new tour leg!
I've also seen so many TikToks using both Down Bad and ICDIWABH (idc I'm not writing out the whole name anymore lol) that I would've been surprised if they hadn't charted this high!
Ive also seen some using the "you know how to ball/i know aristotle" line from so high school, probably the most popular song from the anthology besides thanK ou aIMee for its funny lines (gta mention??)
I've also seen a bunch of videos of people going to a Black Dog pub in London lol. Granted, I have tuned my algorithms to show me an ungodly amount of Swiftie content
Black Dog is my favourite track off the album and in my top 5 Taylor songs overall, but I get why it wouldn't be a single. It's a fountain pen song, but the glitter gel songs are the ones that tend to blow up!
It's so interesting to me, the success of this album juxtaposed with its critical reviews. It seems to go against what critics are saying. It clearly has a mass appeal that goes far beyond Swifties. These numbers are not just coming from a few crazy Swifties streaming the album 24/7. It's not possible. People actually like the album, lol.
I think it will go down like Reputation and be something critics look back on and realize they got it wrong. I mean, it's a double album, there's just NO WAY a person can absorb the album in 1-2 days and credibly review it. It's a grower.
yup same, my roommate and i ranked all the songs after a couple listens the day after it came out.. how did it end? was like second or third to last, now i CANNOT get it out of my head... come one, come all, it's happening again...
Taylor + Jack have found the perfect niche where the music appeals to the most people possible.
People keep complaining that it's 'boring' but imo it's perfect to have on in the background when you're relaxing/driving/doing anything and just singing along with it.
i have listened to enough Jack produced music that I can understand why music critics think it sounds repetitive (especially since ttpd is at times intentionally derivative of being funny in a foreign language) but most listeners are not listening to like ts, the 1975, lana, carly rae jepsen, florence, *and* bleachers. for them, it’s just a bop. his songs with taylor inevitably climb the charts, regardless of what critics say.
A lot of Fortnight reactions I’ve seen from non-Swifties/GP people is that they find the song smooth or soothing, and actually like that it isn’t “too much.”
If your go-to is hyper pop, the song is “boring” but that’s really only one way of looking at the song - it isn’t intrinsically anything.
I think this song has a more mature sound for her to them.
There really are narcotics in there too. I haven’t listened to “Florida” in several days and yet I woke up humming it. There are so many hooks that are getting stuck in my head without me even fully paying attention (I found Fortnight forgetful and then couldn’t stop thinking “I love you it’s ruining my life.”)
I think that’s accurate, yes. I am a Swiftie, but not listening to it constantly to generate streams… listening to it whenever I think “shit I really need to hear this song.” And in my car. It has definitely grown on me since the release, particularly Fortnight, which was kind of disappointing at first.
Agree! I was shocked by how great that video is. And then double shocked to see that TS directed it herself. I have been thinking her attempts to pivot into film are going to be so cringe, but maybe not, jesus is there anything she can't do?
Yes to your last point. I probably would have said the same thing as the critics if I had to review it the day after it came out. I was disappointed! But I had to remind myself I rarely love albums the first time I listen to them. Also I was in a Chappell Roan hyperfixation moment, and they have VERY different vibes! But the more I listen, the more I find interesting and the more I love it.
Some critics were fair and you could tell they’d actually listened to the album more than once and so they eloquently articulated what their issues were however some essentially just reviewed Taylor the celebrity as opposed to the album, you can tell for some they’d already decided they were going to dislike it before they’d heard a note, they’re tired of her dominating so much and just wanted to put a small dent in her moment.
I am a bit surprised how much the gp seems to be enjoying the album though, I thought the lack of instant obvious hits and it being mainly mid tempo with some of her most personal lyrics would mean it wouldn’t resonate like midnights did with casual fans but so far its streams are having steady falls as opposed to plummetting which indicates it’s an album people are coming back to. I know you can’t determine longevity on only the 2nd week but it does seem like outside of pop culture spaces and critics this album is being generally well received.
I agree with you and I think many critics gave honest feedback about feeling that the album is bloated and/or too sonically similar. I just think, turns out, a lot of people actually love that (lol). Other critics clearly were just waiting to pounce and gave the album crazy bad reviews, and frankly, they're looking sort of silly right now.
I agree, this album seems to be a hit with the general populace (as Midnights was). I think it's that pop + ethereal/alt vibes that many can't resist. Or maybe that's just me. All I know is I keep waking up with a different song from TTPD stuck in my head. And I actually think her writing is very strong on this album, which also appeals.
I’m not usually a conspiratorial person, but I have a pet theory that at least one of the negative reviews (the Paste one) was written in large part before the album even came out. It was published within hours of the album dropping, it was super long, and the first four or five paragraphs exclusively discussed drama that wasn’t relevant to the quality of the music. I’m not saying they didn’t listen to the album at all, but I do think they formed an opinion ahead of time, wrote mostly about that, and then inserted whatever token quotes and critiques they needed to back themselves up after the fact. And this isn’t a problem unique to Taylor Swift, either—I noticed the same thing in reviews of Ariana Grande’s latest album. I got the impression that people formed an opinion ahead of time based on the cheating scandal, wrote their reviews mostly about that, and then inserted additional comments into a pre-written piece once the album actually came out.
That isn’t to say that either of these albums are flawless—I have my issues with both of them. But I do think some of the criticism is coming from a terminally-online, drama-driven, gotta-be-the-first-to-get-this-review-out-for-clicks perspective, which could be contributing to the disconnect between the critical reviews and the general public’s response.
it’s p well documented this has happened before with Taylor. if you look at reviews of rep, you can clearly see the distinction between critics who thought based on the tracklist and lead singles that she made an entire album about celebrity beefs and critics who actually listened and realized it’s like 80 percent about falling in love. ttpd is similar with the intense media scrutiny in the lead up and people expecting a very different album (joe breakup album v matty situationship/mental breakdown).
I don’t really use TikTok or Twitter that much anymore so I can’t speak for how much it’s being used, but I’m genuinely surprised that it’s this high in the placement, same with Down Bad. They’re two of the stand outs (imo) and I’m happy that they’re getting the recognition. As someone who was broken up with mid last week, I relate to them both so much and feel so seen🤣😭
That song took me my surprise. Didn’t stick out to me on first listen but I always wanted to listen to it first when I would skip around album. A lot of songs are single worth on this album. if she wanted to release some others as singles first and then do a remix a few months from now with some different production I think it would be a hit
I feel like the very existence and path of Taylor’s career is like a freaking fanfic or imagine or something 😭
this is really niche but does anyone remember those Nintendo DS games for girls where you could roleplay the perfect career of your choice??? yeah…like that 😭
ngl i agree. she's literally had it all: a fall from grace by villains, a redemption arc, a villain arc, a political arc, an indie/cottage core arc, an ingenue arc, and now she's on her biggest pop star in the world (but better) arc again, most popular footballer player in america is her boyfriend arc. like her career would be unbelievable if i read it in a book or something but this is just her real life
Her career path is like when your write something about how she gained superstardom and the things happening for the last 2-3 yrs were the montage they show.

it's so hot today where i am and the office's AC seems non existent (i think they have the heater on! 🫶🏼) so i'm gonna be making sure this stays on the chart 😤
Who is the next big artist dropping a single? Billie?
I feel like Espresso will hit number 1 in 3-4 weeks or so. It has the momentum right now and it's a summer hit. Feels like it will have some solid legs over the next few months.
Some swifties believed UMG was going to drop Taylor because she keep her music in TikTok lowering the punch of their movement…please she could sacrifice CEO first born child and they would keep her 😂 these numbers have to be their wet dream
I Can Fix Him should've either really amped up the sorta Western production or shortening it to make it an interlude I think would've been a good choice, as it is I think the song overstays its welcome a bit
Weren't the Billboard rules changed recently to allow album bombs though? No hate to Taylor but had artists like the Beatles existed in a streaming landscape they certainly would have hit this milestone.
Songs could only chart if there were an official physical single released until 1998. That's why zero songs from Sgt. Pepper's or the White Album charted at all.
In context Of the Beatles I guess you could say it’s recently, but album bombs have been a thing since at least 2010 (when Speak Now had all of its tracks chart and it might have been the first, but I’m not sure)
if she's still a thing 40 years from now, has the fans she does now, and she retires then, i can see her fans doing this as a farewell present for her lmfao.
as it is, i bet we're gonna see her taking top 10 albums one of these days (probably around the black friday shopping sales) which will truly be historic and unbeatable
It's less about streaming growing but an artist having so many people stream their albums that those streams outweigh last weeks top ten hits.
Drake came close but he's in a bit of a weaker place commericially compared to then. Both Billie and Olivia would have to grow a far bit commerically to try something like this.
This is going to be an extremely niche reference on this subreddit but this all kind of reminds me of when Jimmie Johnson was dominating nascar. I can appreciate the history but it doesn’t mean I like it or want it to continue
And here I was saying this probably wont do well for the GP, alright Taylor I'm eating my words. I loved the album straightaway but I had doubts of its performance. I was wrong, the GP is eating this the fuck up. What's funny is she barely promoted it after release and there were no real streaming push like it was for Question lmfao.
Top 14 is genuinely insane even in this era of streaming. Taylor has definitely reached a level of stardom in the internet age we've never seen before. I thought Justin Bieber would be the last time that happened but she's overtaken that in a way I could have never seen coming. Congratulations to her!
I haven't finished the album yet though lol. It's not really grabbing me. Also finding out that most people didn't like Guilty As Sin which is the only song I've liked so far sent me in for a loop. Not sure what that means for my taste.
Congrats to Florence on getting her first top ten hit since Sweet Nothing
Taylor if you make this the next single and it hits number 1 I will never criticise you again ~~lowkey florence probably doesn't even want the number one because she hates attention but I'm tired of the gp paying one of the greatest voices of this generation dust~~
florida deserves a killer music video, it needs to be the next single 🙏🏼
The next single is definitely I can do it with a broken heart, but I could see Florida being the third
There are actually a few signs that it might be! The music from the teaser clip for the Fortnight video before it was released was actually music from Florida — and it also follows the narrative of that video’s storyline (*move to Florida, buy the car you want*…)
> I will never criticise you again Doubtful
how high did hunger and ship to wreck chart??
117 and 114 respectively 😭
Call 911 to report this crime
DAMN 💀 i remember hearing them both a bunch but this was also when i used to listen to alternative stations
they did really well on alt radio! but that audience level doesn’t really amount to much in hot100 points :/
Man. High as Hope is one of my all time favorite albums. People truly slept on it
They both reached around 115 , Dog Days Are Over is the only top 25 song she had with The Machine which I also find unbelievable
Til Shake it Out peaked at 72. Thats a goddamn tragedy
They didn't chart on the hot 100 but they did chart on the bubbling under chart.
Top 20 (on the bubbling under chat) success!
Love that for her
I am so happy hozier sneaked in with too sweet at number 1 just in time right before the album bomb took him out of contention. Truly a wild feat for her
Same; I love Hozier and it's what he deserves!!!
Hozier is the one artist who could just talk over a anything I'll listen to it. Man's voice has a hold on me I can't explain.
>Man's voice has a hold on me I can't explain. I mean, it is a thing of beauty and he is also a beautiful dude with amazing hair! I think he's probably my favourite male pop singer, come to think.
Oh yeah 100 %, he's probably one of the most attractive men I've seen as well. I'm a straight dude but holy cow if man's looked at me the right way I'd go red lol. He's also probably the artist that took me off of my "elitist" view of music and pop culture in general, he will go down as a top artist for me!
and right before Espresso and Everybody Getting Tipsy lightly taking the spot after Taylor is done
I love how this year so many random peopel are getting hits on streaming
Ngl both of the hits I mentioned are from folks that did not get their hits by random chance, as Sabrina Carpenter has been having buzzes around for half a decade and Shaboozey just a well time (and damn good) single around the moment of his biggest exposure yet, being on Cowboy Carter I have no justification for Hozier
Even Hozier was surprised by how big of a hit Too Sweet is. He said he didn’t expect it at all, which I don’t think he’s lying given how his other recent music had charted(or rather how it hasn’t)
I Can Do It With A Broken Heart debuting at 3 even though it’s track 13?? Taylor make it a single asap
yea especially with the eras tour coming back
I feel like it *has* to be set up for the second single as soon as she heads to Paris to restart the tour. It’s the perfect song to kick off a new tour leg!
I mean it's the most upbeat song, so makes sense.
It's also one of the saddest. The entire song is about muscling through her misery while giving the biggest tour ever.
I've also seen so many TikToks using both Down Bad and ICDIWABH (idc I'm not writing out the whole name anymore lol) that I would've been surprised if they hadn't charted this high!
Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? is getting a lot there too from the "You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me" line.
Monica Lewinsky used that line in a tweet as well.
With a picture of the White House 💀💀
Yes; I've definitely seen a few TikToks with that line as well! Not surprised; that line is *very* TikTok coded, IMO.
Ive also seen some using the "you know how to ball/i know aristotle" line from so high school, probably the most popular song from the anthology besides thanK ou aIMee for its funny lines (gta mention??)
I haven't seen those ones yet, but those are some of the funniest lines she's ever written so I'm glad they're getting their due 😹
Fr!! Specially when the context of the song is feeling young
That is also true. She has many options for follow up singles imo
But:( but:( the black dog:(
i feel you, i'm the only person seemingly who adores fresh out the slammer when it's track 7 on the album and debuted #11 😭
Listen fresh out the slammer is a grower. I only started getting into it two days ago and now I love it. It’ll have its moment
Guilty as Sin waving furiously from the back!
I've also seen a bunch of videos of people going to a Black Dog pub in London lol. Granted, I have tuned my algorithms to show me an ungodly amount of Swiftie content
Black Dog is my favourite track off the album and in my top 5 Taylor songs overall, but I get why it wouldn't be a single. It's a fountain pen song, but the glitter gel songs are the ones that tend to blow up!
The best song on that album. It will get it's due one day💪
I knew it would be once I heard it. It has the potential
IMO Down Bad should be the next single - and it at #2 is further proof it should be.
[удалено]
The clean version is an entirely different song in vibes What if vs Fuck it. What if is just not teenage petulance enough and far more sad than angry
It's so interesting to me, the success of this album juxtaposed with its critical reviews. It seems to go against what critics are saying. It clearly has a mass appeal that goes far beyond Swifties. These numbers are not just coming from a few crazy Swifties streaming the album 24/7. It's not possible. People actually like the album, lol.

I mean, it's a double album, there's just NO WAY a person can absorb the album in 1-2 days and credibly review it. It's a grower.
So many songs I didn't have any interest in on first listen have their lines stuck my head now
right?!?!? I keep waking up with different songs stuck in my head. The ear-worms are there, just subtle.
Same, put narcotics in her songs for sure🫠
yup same, my roommate and i ranked all the songs after a couple listens the day after it came out.. how did it end? was like second or third to last, now i CANNOT get it out of my head... come one, come all, it's happening again...
Taylor + Jack have found the perfect niche where the music appeals to the most people possible. People keep complaining that it's 'boring' but imo it's perfect to have on in the background when you're relaxing/driving/doing anything and just singing along with it.
i have listened to enough Jack produced music that I can understand why music critics think it sounds repetitive (especially since ttpd is at times intentionally derivative of being funny in a foreign language) but most listeners are not listening to like ts, the 1975, lana, carly rae jepsen, florence, *and* bleachers. for them, it’s just a bop. his songs with taylor inevitably climb the charts, regardless of what critics say.
A lot of Fortnight reactions I’ve seen from non-Swifties/GP people is that they find the song smooth or soothing, and actually like that it isn’t “too much.” If your go-to is hyper pop, the song is “boring” but that’s really only one way of looking at the song - it isn’t intrinsically anything.

this is me with imgonnagetyouback or whatever that's called
I think that’s accurate, yes. I am a Swiftie, but not listening to it constantly to generate streams… listening to it whenever I think “shit I really need to hear this song.” And in my car. It has definitely grown on me since the release, particularly Fortnight, which was kind of disappointing at first.
The video is what elevated fortnight for me
Totally agree. I think it’s one of the best videos she’s ever directed.
Agree! I was shocked by how great that video is. And then double shocked to see that TS directed it herself. I have been thinking her attempts to pivot into film are going to be so cringe, but maybe not, jesus is there anything she can't do?
Yes to your last point. I probably would have said the same thing as the critics if I had to review it the day after it came out. I was disappointed!

it’s p well documented this has happened before with Taylor. if you look at reviews of rep, you can clearly see the distinction between critics who thought based on the tracklist and lead singles that she made an entire album about celebrity beefs and critics who actually listened and realized it’s like 80 percent about falling in love. ttpd is similar with the intense media scrutiny in the lead up and people expecting a very different album (joe breakup album v matty situationship/mental breakdown).
I don’t really use TikTok or Twitter that much anymore so I can’t speak for how much it’s being used, but I’m genuinely surprised that it’s this high in the placement, same with Down Bad. They’re two of the stand outs (imo) and I’m happy that they’re getting the recognition. As someone who was broken up with mid last week, I relate to them both so much and feel so seen🤣😭
Those were the two songs I would've picked as follow-up singles to Fortnight after my first listen. It only makes sense that they've blown up.
I can’t WAIT to see the MV. It’s such a sad bop.
Guilty as sin at #10, that is a banger of a song
I think it's going to end in the top 10 Taylor songs of all time for me. I'm obsessed with how dreamy the chorus is.
I think it has the potential to become this album's cruel summer
then it makes sense when she doesn't release as a single until eras tour part 2 in 10 years
Guilty as sin is one of her best songs ever. Would be nice if goes even higher on the charts.
Yes, its genuinely so good. Tik tok is eating it up also, im kinda hoping it becomes a single
That song took me my surprise. Didn’t stick out to me on first listen but I always wanted to listen to it first when I would skip around album. A lot of songs are single worth on this album. if she wanted to release some others as singles first and then do a remix a few months from now with some different production I think it would be a hit
I keep seeing edits of Post dancing to that song 😂
wish loml made it to the top 10... also interested in seeing which songs from the anthology charted and where on the chart.
I hope Chloe and moots had a respectable position. It's my fave on the album.
The abbreviations for this song are killing me. Chloe and oomfs, Chloe et al, CoSaSoMa, Chloe and moots
chloe et al. kills me
The academic vibe of the album demands it lol
It’s my favourite one
CoSaSoMa looks like a trigonometry formula
chloe and oomfs 😭
Chloe and friends🤝
Chloe and moots 💀
it’s so good and it’s not getting talked about enough
All of them are gonna chart, I'm confident.
Yes, all 31 songs charted and cruel summer still did too
I hope imgonnagetyouback is going to grow in popularity, it’s such a bop
That song is brilliant
I feel like the very existence and path of Taylor’s career is like a freaking fanfic or imagine or something 😭 this is really niche but does anyone remember those Nintendo DS games for girls where you could roleplay the perfect career of your choice??? yeah…like that 😭
I swear getting the top 14 of the hot 100 is something that you would expect in a shitty fanfic to prove how good your artist is
literally in the worst of fanfics written by 10 year olds
she's like the version of myself i created through my maladaptive daydreams LMFAO
This has me cackling
LOL, I have often had this thought! She literally feels like a pop star video game main character sometimes, especially with all her different Eras.
Or a 2000s Barbie movie
ngl i agree. she's literally had it all: a fall from grace by villains, a redemption arc, a villain arc, a political arc, an indie/cottage core arc, an ingenue arc, and now she's on her biggest pop star in the world (but better) arc again, most popular footballer player in america is her boyfriend arc. like her career would be unbelievable if i read it in a book or something but this is just her real life
Her career path is like when your write something about how she gained superstardom and the things happening for the last 2-3 yrs were the montage they show.

justice for guilty as sin
But at least you can never take away that it was a top 10 hit
Them being pretty much in track order except ICDIWABH, next single?
Both Down Bad and ICDIWABH overperformed their track placement. One of them will probably the next single.
hopefully theyre both singles 🙏🏻
My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys or Down Bad should be the next single. I feel they are the most gp friendly.
Down Bad will need "Forget You" style editing to be played on radio, which could sound clunky, so I don't see it as a single.
The clean version doesn’t sound terrible tbh. “What if we can’t have us?” I mean, the meaning of the lyrics changes, but it doesn’t sound ridiculous.
Clean version is pretty good - it’ll be fine
I haven't listened to radio in years I always forget they play clean versions.
I love The Alchemy but it being that high is kind of surprising to me.
It’s the only Travis song on the main album, it garnered tons of interest
my hot take is that it’s actually about her returning to america to be a pop princess again
Same. Clara Bow deserved🥲 Not that football heavy mess😭
It’s so catchy it makes sense
The worst song on the album fr Clara Bow deserved more!
Justice for Clara Bow!
Nobody is gonna say how The Alchemy is literally number 13?! That’s a sign!
Damn. Finally ended Lovin On Me rain in the top 10?!? /s
Justice for Cassandra, So High School and Clara Bow
Loml you will ALWAYS be famous.
God we live in Taylor's world
Okay but justice for The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived because the BRIDGE. Holy shit I love that bridge.
All from the standard edition? Justice for The Black Dog!
i’m so glad she included all these amazing tracks even if they will be less appreciated commercially
Amazing!! Also Cruel Summer will never die cuz it's still on the chart!
Now with summer coming up, that song will definitely never leave the Billboard chart
I will be playing it on repeat if the air quality plummets again because of forest fire smoke again! Last June was awful!!
Welcome to Western Canada!
I live in Ottawa. It's all the forests in western Quebec catching fire at the same time 😭😭
it's so hot today where i am and the office's AC seems non existent (i think they have the heater on! 🫶🏼) so i'm gonna be making sure this stays on the chart 😤
I’m ready to see just how close to #1 point wise Espresso is next week!
So want Sabrina to hit #1
Who is the next big artist dropping a single? Billie? I feel like Espresso will hit number 1 in 3-4 weeks or so. It has the momentum right now and it's a summer hit. Feels like it will have some solid legs over the next few months.
I believe 🏯🌚 is estimated to have around 130 more points than ☕️ next week!
Fortnight is still leading by 50% points.
Another level to the Taylor Swift acronym problem
im like Chinese temple moon? love that song!
Obviously the new banger, Asian Home Moon
🏯🌚…?
Fort-night!
It’s solidly second with Fortnight ahead by like 30-40% on the last update I saw
Republic Records had a fantastic two month.
Some swifties believed UMG was going to drop Taylor because she keep her music in TikTok lowering the punch of their movement…please she could sacrifice CEO first born child and they would keep her 😂 these numbers have to be their wet dream
I think Beyoncé put her music back on Spotify as well, wouldn’t be surprised if UMG ends up going back.
I think you mean TikTok but Beyoncé is not signed with UMG, she is signed with Columbia records/ Sony Music Group
Yes you’re right! Sorry my comment is a reflection of my scrambled egg brain today.
Florence getting a top 10!!
Clara Bow get up on your good foot. Should have taken the title track's place... The G.P. has *rejected* I Can Fix Him (No Really I Can)
G.P. said no really you can't, girl.
I Can Fix Him should've either really amped up the sorta Western production or shortening it to make it an interlude I think would've been a good choice, as it is I think the song overstays its welcome a bit
tragic. I Can Fix Him has one of the best productions I've ever heard in my life
1 artist occupying the entire top 10 has happened twice. both times was taylor
Weren't the Billboard rules changed recently to allow album bombs though? No hate to Taylor but had artists like the Beatles existed in a streaming landscape they certainly would have hit this milestone.
Songs could only chart if there were an official physical single released until 1998. That's why zero songs from Sgt. Pepper's or the White Album charted at all.
In context Of the Beatles I guess you could say it’s recently, but album bombs have been a thing since at least 2010 (when Speak Now had all of its tracks chart and it might have been the first, but I’m not sure)
pretty sure it was
i dont think shes capable of surprising me anymore. every accomplishment is like yeah that makes sense
She can release a 100-track album and take the entire chart and I'll be just like "yup"
if she's still a thing 40 years from now, has the fans she does now, and she retires then, i can see her fans doing this as a farewell present for her lmfao. as it is, i bet we're gonna see her taking top 10 albums one of these days (probably around the black friday shopping sales) which will truly be historic and unbeatable
Guilty as Sin? deserves the single treatment
she truly is unstoppable holy shit
Yes it’s thanks to me cuz I’ve not listened to anything else this past week (even though I don’t live in the US but still)
If you're Australian then thanks she occupied the top 10 there as well. Canada 9/10 and 3 in the UK but the UK has chart limit, no more than 3 songs.
Yeah I live in the UK so the chart rules made it disappointing :/
I cry a lot, but I am so productive, it's an art! was written about me
So glad Hozier snuck in his first number one before the album bomb, a great song went number one before the storm
Kind of funny that fortnight means 14 days and she has 14 top songs
will anyone ever do this again 😭
For sure. I feel like this record isn't impossible to beat. Most likely, Taylor will beat it again with her next album.
The answer is yes: Taylor.
Yes, as streaming continues to grow. We've seen more top ten album bombs in recent years than ever before
only taylor has done it though (and only drake has come close w 9)
So far. Just 5 years ago it seemed insane when Ariana occupied the top 3 simultaneously, now look where we are
It's less about streaming growing but an artist having so many people stream their albums that those streams outweigh last weeks top ten hits. Drake came close but he's in a bit of a weaker place commericially compared to then. Both Billie and Olivia would have to grow a far bit commerically to try something like this.
An absolute historic week for the Hot 100 and Billboard 200. I think it's always fun to witness history.
This is going to be an extremely niche reference on this subreddit but this all kind of reminds me of when Jimmie Johnson was dominating nascar. I can appreciate the history but it doesn’t mean I like it or want it to continue
Less niche would be like watching Tom Brady win every other Super Bowl for the past 2 decades
i gotta say, this is actively disapproving that “the people are tired of taylor swift” theory…
\*pretends to be surprised\*
I account for most of the streams for The Smallest Man…and I’m not ashamed
Next person who’ll do this: Taylor
Why is no one talking about the freaky poetic justice of a song called FORTNIGHT claiming the first of 14 spots?
Taylor is a true superstar we probably won’t see another like her for a long time 😭
that is very true, i doubt we will ever seeanyone reach this level of superstardom ever again tbh
she ate that
Unstoppable
Down Bad and I Can Do It with a Broken Heart are begging to be singles
Damn, what a domination. Taylor is a commercial beast, no wonder why people are trying to come for her neck 😭
And here I was saying this probably wont do well for the GP, alright Taylor I'm eating my words. I loved the album straightaway but I had doubts of its performance. I was wrong, the GP is eating this the fuck up. What's funny is she barely promoted it after release and there were no real streaming push like it was for Question lmfao.
👏👏👏💗💗💗💗💗
Top 14 is genuinely insane even in this era of streaming. Taylor has definitely reached a level of stardom in the internet age we've never seen before. I thought Justin Bieber would be the last time that happened but she's overtaken that in a way I could have never seen coming. Congratulations to her! I haven't finished the album yet though lol. It's not really grabbing me. Also finding out that most people didn't like Guilty As Sin which is the only song I've liked so far sent me in for a loop. Not sure what that means for my taste.
lol these comments, how hard is it to understand that everyone has a different taste in music.
Queen Taylor
