I'm gonna give this it's own thread with exile now being officially pushed to US radio on the alternative format!!! it'll be interesting to see how Taylor does on there, the appearance of Bon Iver will def help.

Also this is currently the highest folklore song on UK iTunes (#19) and third highest on US iTunes (#5), but it's been ahead of cardigan on there since Friday afternoon to literally 20 minutes ago!

I think this could be a surprise massive success heart.gif like a very very mini shallow if it really takes off or even do similar to stay? (obvs nowhere near as big as shallow) I can also see this possibly being the song they submit for ROTY/SOTY at the Grammys so yep it's getting it's own thread

I’ve only heard the three tracks that are looking to make the UK chart and this is easily the best of them, hopefully it gets to overtake Cardigan soon. didn’t expect to like a Taylor piano ballad more than all her singles from her last two eras.

honestly at this rate I think its overtaking cardigan by next week laugh.gif it's ahead on iTunes and is closing the gap more and more on Spotify each day!

same for the US too (it's #4 there atm, its overtaken the 1 now) and it'd be her highest song if it wasn't for swifties pushing cardigan for #1! (tho I think cardigan will stay ahead in the US for a while)

Midweeks today:
8 Taylor Swift feat. Bon Iver - exile *
(and the 1 is at 9)

exile seems to be pretty secure to stay top 10 cheer.gif I think it could drop to 9 but it can hold onto 8th! the 1 is def more vulnerable, I'd say it's def getting overtaken by 10th. it's being outsold by 11 too but minimally enough atm that it should hold onto 10th as long as we don't collapse in the next couple days!

I. love this so much, has easily become my fav Taylor song ever

From a songwriter's perspective the song is perfect, it's like a lesson in song-writing, the bits that Justin sings from a guy's point of view about being clueless about relationships and how for us everything seems always fine, and then Taylor sings from the female perspective and everything is different... love the bit when Justin sings there were no signs while Taylor sings there were so many signs, that's genious.

Also love the fact that she sings it with Justin. A few years back she would have chosen Ed frickin' Sheeran, which would have just been so wrong on so many levels, but having Justin is perfect and especially having Justin sing in full voice not in falsetto.

I really get what you say about the shift from Ed to Justin. In my opinion, the time away from the rat race has given her fresh perspective and allowed her to become her authentic self, something that was beginning during the Lover era. I think the lack of influence from her record label has also allowed this. I’ve been listening to her albums since 1989 and have thought they were great, but this has really got my attention

I've not heard the album all the way through yet (what's taking me so long!!) but I think this is definitely without jumping on the bandwagon.. the best song thus far. Such an endearing feel about it and the voices blend so perfectly. I'm glad Taylor decided to go with a non chart force star like Ed or even Lewis for this.

yep I def think so! with how consistent they've been on streaming, exile & the 1 (the latter moreso in the US) can def be massive and bigger than cardigan I'm thinking! They really should push this for the Grammys too I'm thinking
