QUOTE(Jessie Where @ Feb 5 2024, 05:29 PM)  Yeah but even outside the TV's she's been pumping out regular studio albums at an exhaustive rate aside from those, the Midnights era only just concluded. A little breather would be nice is all. Outside of the TV's, it's pretty normal for albums to be released 18-24 months apart, isn't it? (I could be wrong nowadays tbh) Back in the late 00's a pop act of Taylor's calibre had far less between eras (especially Q4 acts). The last single ('Karma') was released back in May.It's just unfortunate for her that she had 'Cruel Summer' take off the way it did, so the gap feels more non-existent than it would if it was just each era with the TV's in between

Taylor is a genius, the title being inspired by the whatsapp group that Joe Alwyn and Paul Mescal had after they broke up with Taylor and Phoebe Bridgers respectively, the Tortured Man Club 😀 genius --------- (This post from Feb 6 2024, 08:56 AM) As expected many people are already claiming overexposure. She can't be more overexposed than she already is, people have made Cruel Summer the supernova hit without Taylor doing anything at all, zero, nada... Her albums are all charting in the UK, she's been having 4/5 albums in the top 20 for the last year and that's with just touring the US. People obviously crave Taylor content plus her fanbase is so gigantic that even if she alienates 50% of them, there are still millions that remain... I say hit it while the iron is still hot. Better that that doing an Emeli Sande

I personally feel it has reached saturation point, I don't dislike her in anyway and I know alot of it is the media's fault as they constantly use her in headlines attempting to gather clicks. For me personally I just don't really want to hear her anymore or see her name everywhere I look. I got the same way with Adele, but I am listening to her again, so I probably will listen to TS again, just not right now lol

if someone think Adele is overexposed releasing 1 album every 5 years
then Taylor has no chance  she's not milking the TS versions, barely putting them out there but not pushing single after single and as I said, most of the overexposure feeling is cos of Cruel Summer but they haven't pushed that either imagine if she had made a video x Cruel Summer or made a new version as a duet or something... it's fand and people out there making Cruel Summer what it is, so don't blame Taylor

It really isn't because of 'Cruel Summer', it's because this will be her 4th studio album in less than 3 years on top of everything else. I was hoping for a bit of a break after all the TV versions were wrapped up.
My instant reaction when I saw the new album announcement:

She couldn't be more exposed than she already is, people made Cruel Summer a hit without her doing anything really, her albums are all charting as we speak. People clearly crave Taylor content. And even if people turn on her she'd still sell out all the stadiums and end up at #1 with every release. If she'd start releasing a variant each week for the rest of the year, she'd likely fill out the whole Billboard Top 30. Her fan base is so massive that even if she alienates half of it, she'd still be massive. Lol |

Yes, I think the real solution is to move all of Taylor's albums into a separate chart!

My observation is that people who love/like Lana love/like Taylor and vice versa. They go hand in hand. Lana is big in streaming as well even though she is not getting as huge HITS as Taylor.

I'm not sure Taylor is over exposed or even that exposed. My mum would know her name but not really any of her songs but she could name a few Adele or Ed songs.
Taylor just has a massive hardcore fanbase who stream her 24/7 and are a bit scary how much they worship her. She absolutely doesn't need the GP, not in the UK and I don't think that many of your average Joe cares or listens to her beyond her being on a playlist they might listen too. It is basically Kylie times 10. |

I'd same the opposite, everybody knows Taylor now, especially the GP
My mum for instance lives in Spain, doesn't speak English or know any other singer that sings in English, and she knows Taylor. |

These posts about Taylor Swift were originally in the Friday Chart Predictions thread, the discussion is now repurposed as an album predictor thread.
Also included a new poll  Remember that there is also a Taylor Swift forum to discuss her too! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/Taylor-Swift-f177.html |

I know it's all anecdotal obviously, but I've just asked my mum (54) and she can't name a single Taylor Swift song.

I’m not sure sales wise. It already has a much larger pre order number than midnights did but it’ll depend on variants. I think it’ll open similarly to 1989tv did

I went with
Yes #1 (of course) 160,000 - 169,999 sales (which is well under Midnights' 204,501, so it could very well be an underestimation, but I just have a feeling that 'Poets' won't reach those heights in the UK) No (I can see why people feel this way, but for me personally I'm not tired of her and I'm excited for this new album) |

I went for:
Yes > I think this is obvious? < 180k-189k > I think similarly to '1989 (TV)' numbers, butttt this doesn't have the Q4 sales period that both 'Midnights' & '1989 (TV)' had however I am pretty sure it will be over 150k. I guess we'll see what variants she'll give us. If any (more)! If it's just what we have now, I'll say 100k. But if we have a similar amount of variants as both 'Midnights' and '1989 (TV)' have, then closer to my choice of 180k. < Don't Feel Strongly Either Way > I don't think she's as over exposed as many like to say/think she is, but I do understand why some may feel the way they do. < |
