I'm so excited to hear what this'll sound like, hopefully it can debut top 10 and get good playlisting! <3

Lyrics supposedly:

but i knew you
playing hide-and-seek and
giving me your weekends
i knew you
tear heartbreak on the high lake
once in twenty lifetimes
and when i felt like i was an old cardigan
under someone's bed
you put me on and said
i was your favourite


this is gonna be GORGEOUS omg heart.gif

I dunno if I want a snippet or not! cheeseblock.png

May as well wait until tomorrow I guess laugh.gif

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 23 2020, 05:52 PM

yeah I feel like we're not gonna have a snippet before release, going into this project without hearing even a snippet of the lead single would be amazing! ohmy.gif (tho ofc I won't resist if she releases a snippet hahaha)

also this continues the near trend of all her Track 2's becoming singles, apart from poor cruel summer x

Posted by: ...ready for it Jul 23 2020, 07:26 PM

The video sounds great! I can't handle all the excitement. biggrin.gif

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 24 2020, 12:20 AM



Video link is up, premiers at 5am. Imma watch straight after my album listenthrough!

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 24 2020, 12:28 AM

omg the timing is 4:35!!! We're in for a long lead single (Or long video aha)

yep I'm def not expecting this to be commercial at all haha

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 24 2020, 03:32 AM




5 second snippet omg

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 24 2020, 04:05 AM

THIS IS PERFECT cheeseblock.png cheeseblock.png

It's not too commercial but OMG IT'S AMAZING. Spotify playlisting is quite good

it's a really good video, especially considering the circumstances its been shot under!! absolutely beautiful visuals and it reminds me quite a bit of the Safe & Sound video which was also stunning visually and has a beautiful atmosphere

Posted by: ...ready for it Jul 24 2020, 06:51 AM

I love the video. The part where she's grabbing onto the piano in the water...

that was my fave part of the video, so visually stunning heart.gif

I'm intrigued to see how this will do during 1st week. I rly hope it can go at least top 10 in the UK and US. I think it's already #1 on US iTunes which is a good sign

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 24 2020, 07:30 AM

Yassss it has really good playlisting on Apple Music now!! 2 on today’s hits, 1 future hits, 3 on new music daily 😍😍

Posted by: Voodoo Jul 24 2020, 12:15 PM

This is so boring. It doesn't go anywhere. nocheer.gif

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 24 2020, 05:36 PM

at 8.1m views on YouTube after 13 hours ahh. I'm hoping it'll make it to +20m. I knew it was obvs not gonna challenge LWYMMD/Me! but I was expecting slightly higher aha

it's back in the top 10 on iTunes UK and it's doing WAY better than Lover on apple music with it being 12th (10 places higher than Lover at this point) + has another version top 100 so hopefully it has a rly good Spotify debut tomorrow! However the Apple Music playlisting for Cardigan is 700x better than the Spotify playlisting

#2 on US iTunes (The 1 really close behind in 3rd!) and also doing well on Apple Music US.

I hope it can score top 10 debuts, we'll see aha I feel it's gonna be longevity with this one if it does anything <3

I didn't initially think this was an album highlight but the video has helped it click more! Reminded me of the one for 'Falling' by Harry Styles a little.

I hope this picks up on UK iTunes currently 15 on there. Deserves top 5!

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 25 2020, 11:46 AM

the way the 1 is ahead of this now on US iTunes, US Spotify and US apple music. it's gonna get outdebuted by it there at this rate laugh.gif

It may go Top 5 thanks to streaming. It was never going to set iTunes ablaze as it came out with the album so the fans are opting to buy that instead.

who even knows aha laugh.gif it's dark red on kworb too and the 1/exile are green! hopefully it'll stabilise soon aha, I'm seeing so many tweets atm to buy cardigan cos its falling quicker than the album tracks laugh.gif

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 25 2020, 04:54 PM

back up to on 14 on UK iTunes as two songs plummeting have fallen below it cheer.gif

also this music video needs more love!!

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 26 2020, 03:20 PM

Singles
4 CARDIGAN (7.7k)
5 THE 1 (6.9k)
7 EXILE (6.7k)

I hope cardigan can do enough for a top 5 debut! whoever is sixth atm (rockstar?) will def overtake but hopefully 8th is far enough behind. Ngl I was hoping cardigan would be #2 or #3 in this update, oh well kink.gif

lover was 9 in the Sunday update and ended up at 14. so hopefully we'll get two top 10 hits? maybe even 3 cos exile is holding stronger than the 1?

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 27 2020, 10:27 AM

and now exile has overtaken this on UK iTunes laugh.gif

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 27 2020, 11:53 AM

moved up to 28 on hot hits uk cheer.gif way better than around ~50 it was before cheer.gif

also its #4 on the uk YouTube chart *.*

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 27 2020, 09:59 PM



omg the swifties are going for it now!!!! it's #4 + #25 in the US iTunes rn, if this gets this a #1 debut omg *.*

Posted by: Cognizant Jul 27 2020, 10:14 PM

I’m here after a cute DM from UltraFolklore!

I reeeeealt want Cardigan to debut at number one; US swifites have to pull through!

Also the label should just released 30,000 signed CDs

Heyyy welcome and I'm glad you've discovered the artist forum heart.gif heart.gif looking forward to seeing you around! wub.gif

I'm hoping it will heart.gif It looks like they're FINALLY going full force yasss *.*

I've seen so many swifties on twitter suggesting that but republic don't seem to be going for it :/ if they released a CD single to the UK store I'd 100% buy one rn!

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 27 2020, 10:41 PM

also just seen it's now #3 + #24 on US iTunes!! swifties have been begging each other to buy cardigan since like Friday evening but it seems to have really taken off tonight! it's trending in the UK too now. get that #1 debut *.*

it's #23 + #88 in the UK now too cheer.gif the former is up 3 places from about an hour ago and I wanna say the latter wasn't top 100? slay *.*

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 27 2020, 10:58 PM

#21 (+2) and #84 (+4) now cheer.gif let's go *.*

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 27 2020, 11:59 PM



2nd version up to 20 (US) and 77 (UK) now! <3

moved up to #2 on Today's Hot Hits too cheer.gif

Posted by: LJ JORD 7 Jul 28 2020, 01:05 AM

The video to this is how I imagined a video for Lady Gagas Alice to be like. The whole entering a new world vibe from the piano. I love it.

Feels so much like a pre lockdown shot video as well it’s very impressive it was done in the pandemic!

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 28 2020, 03:35 AM



YASSSS they listened!!!! bullying works xoxo US #1 here we go cheer.gif

the CD comes with a songwriting memo of Taylor describing her writing process, acapella over the track & original alternate lyrics

I wish this was available in the UK cry.gif I love the CD artwork! and omg that vinyl is gorgeous

Posted by: dannjohn Jul 28 2020, 08:52 AM

I want the actual cardigan but 8-10 weeks shipping?

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 28 2020, 11:29 AM

#1 combined on US iTunes cheer.gif glad it's now their combined, hopefully the version at 2 can go to 1 again!! anyway even if it doesn't, at least that version hit #1 on iTunes on Friday (for 10 minutes) kink.gif

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 28 2020, 04:42 PM

A list on R1 from Friday, hopefully radio playlisting will start giving it more stability on iTunes *.*

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 28 2020, 09:23 PM

today's update:

4 Taylor Swift - cardigan (17.4k) *

lighter (ew) has closed the gap to just 500 copies so that'll v. likely overtake tomorrow or Thursday, I can imagine KSI doing some promo later this week as well which'll give it a good enough boost. cardigan should be good enough to stay top 5 though at this rate!

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 30 2020, 05:20 PM

#5 in today's midweeks, unlikely to overtake lighter despite the new version today but yay for a top 5 debut!!

exile at #8 and the 1 at #10, likely to be their final positions tomorrow but don't quote me on that!!

Posted by: UltraFolklore Jul 30 2020, 11:10 PM

moved up to 17 on Hot Hits UK + cover wub.gif

Haha. Ah well at least she got 6, 8 and 10!! And would have been more after that if it wasn’t capped at 3 songs! I know the 1 is a good song but surprised it came before the great American dynasty.

Posted by: UltraFolklore Aug 3 2020, 08:47 AM

so today's the day we find out whether this hit #1 in America! probs in the next 8 to 10 hours ahh

Posted by: London81 Aug 3 2020, 09:48 AM

I’ve been wondering when we’d find out about this. Do you think realistically it is possible or too hard to tell?

Posted by: UltraFolklore Aug 3 2020, 09:54 AM

also UK iTunes rn:
54. Love Story
65. cardigan

and I oop-

I think it's very likely but I don't wanna get my hopes up again after thinking it was locked for top 5 in the UK kink.gif It looks like the candlelit version + the physicals were enough of a boost for it to be #1! tbh at this point I'm more nervous about whether American Dynasty can sneak a top 10 placing!

Posted by: Bjork Aug 3 2020, 12:57 PM

too bad they didn't put it higher on HH, bit weird that she has the HH cover but it's not high on the playlist
but nice she's #1 in TTH and has the cover too

I'm positive she'll be #1 in the US with Cardigan, the physicals seal the deal for sure

Posted by: UltraFolklore Aug 3 2020, 05:32 PM

#1 IN THE US YASSSSS cheer.gif cheer.gif

this is also 18 in the midweeks today so we're def good for another week top 20 *.*

Posted by: UltraFolklore Aug 7 2020, 04:04 PM

14 in 2nd week in the UK, glad it stayed top 15 and it def could've fell harsher than it did! <3

UK chart-run so far: 06-14

Posted by: London81 Aug 7 2020, 08:27 PM

Thanks for sharing. I wonder if it will just keep falling or will stabilise or evening rise again sometime. I guess it depends on how much radio play / exposure it gets moving forwards. This is a great chart run though given the fact it was a quick release with zero momentum and virtually no promotion.

Posted by: UltraFolklore Aug 9 2020, 04:50 PM

oh ffs Love Story is back above this on iTunes again laugh.gif laugh.gif

(also I didn't realise the 1 was still above this on US iTunes + Apple Music, and I oop x)

Hoping this'll stay top 10 in America tomorrow!! Predictions are all OVER the place atm with closeness in points, random store sales for irrelevant tracks & radio recalibration but gearing more towards a 2nd week top 10 around 9th/10th

Posted by: UltraFolklore Aug 10 2020, 04:48 PM

#26 in the midweeks, hopefully it can climb back up & sneak a third week top 20

I'm glad she managed a 2nd week, outperforming most of the #1 debuts in the US this year!! It looks like it'll fall out the top 10 next week but hopefully it'll stabilise!

Posted by: UltraFolklore Aug 11 2020, 12:40 AM

btw these are the weeks Taylor songs have spent in the top 10 in the US!:

Posted by: UltraFolklore Aug 14 2020, 03:33 PM

stays at #24 this week!

chart-run: 06-14-24

bit of a harsher fall than I was expecting at the start of this week sad.gif at least it managed another week top 25 and hopefully will start stabilising from now on!

Posted by: London81 Aug 15 2020, 04:42 PM

Yeah it has dropped pretty quickly but hopefully the album is still doing well. Maybe it will get a third week at number 1?

Posted by: UltraFolklore Aug 21 2020, 04:16 AM

This is down to 42 on today’s top hits yikes

I really hope this means they’re gonna start pushing exile in a couple weeks rather than the more likely scenario of spotify playlisting being a disaster for the 3rd era in a row

Posted by: UltraFolklore Aug 21 2020, 03:28 PM

another week top 30 at least cheer.gif glad it managed that and finally getting a chart play too <3

Posted by: ...ready for it Aug 21 2020, 07:38 PM

I still love this song so f***ing much heart.gif at first I did think it being the lead was def helping in why it was my most played/one of the standouts but it's still easily my 2nd favourite song on the album and is acc creeping up to epiphany nowadays, I get goosebumps every time I listen to this heart.gif

It looks like Betty is just getting the country push now and isn't the next proper all-formats single. Rumours are that it's the 1 but then it could also be exile. Whew I hope we get something next week (there's been rumours about the 16th for a while) or otherwise we're heading towards Rep part 3 of confusion cheer.gif
