Officially #1

81-100k

#1 on the first three, 101-150k week 1!

I'd have to hear it first...

People are overestimating her popularity in the UK...

 

Just a reminder of her debuts:

 

Shake It Off - #4 (PEAK: 2)

Blank Space - #11 (PEAK: 4)

Style - #65 (PEAK: 21)

Bad Blood - #4 (PEAK: 4)

Wildest Dream - #69 (PEAK: 40)

Don't Wanna Live Forever (feat Zayn) - #16 (PEAK: 5)

An easy #1 I'd say. Around 100k

45k, between 3-5.

You are aware pretty much all of those didn't have streaming, right?

People are assuming that she'll be a huge streaming presence from day one based on... what?

 

My point is that she's not been a huge week #1 presence before in the UK, so what would change now? We have no receipts that she is.

Yes but its a bit like with Ed/Divide

You could feel he was gonna go to the next step and become bigger

He hadnt had 16 songs in the top 40 before

Or a 10-weeek #1

Bit it was clear it was gonna happen

 

Same now with Taylor

Shes gonna step to the next level

On that she was with SIO for a few days on Spotify and was number 1, she's really big there only for her old catalog in the past 2 months and just because people wants to believe in her popularity and her last era made her HUGE. So All good.

THIS.

Well her latest album is top 75 on streaming alone basically so I'd say she'd have a lots of streaming potential

 

This is what SIO's Spotify run looked like over the course of its climb to #1

 

79 - 37 - 15 - 7 - 3 - 2 - 2 - 1 - 50* - 4 - 1 - 1 ...

 

*Removed for several hours

If that's not a potential so Everyone is blind really.

I think the word 'debut' here needs changing to 'peak'.

Exactly. I never said it possibly can't go to number one on Spotify, just that I doubt it'll *debut* there. I don't think she'll debut at number one on the official singles chart either and that's what I vote by.

Well no because I want to see what people's predictions are on debut week.

On itunes though it's debut is fairly irrelevant, it could debut at like 78 depending on when iTunes updates and climb to 5 and then 1 in the next updates.
