Update to this:

1- Lover went platinum on 30 July 2021, as I predicted

2- Folklore will now go platinum in February 2022 (2 months faster than initially predicted)

3- Speak Now will go platinum in February 2022, 2 years (!) faster than initially predicted

4- 1989 will now go 5x platinum in late 2022 (1 year faster than initially predicted)

5- Evermore will go platinum in mid-2023 (1 year faster than initially predicted)

6- Reputation will go 2x platinum in mid-2024 (1 year faster than initially predicted)

7- Red will go 3x platinum in early 2025 (on par with the initial prediction)

8- Folklore will go 2x platinum in mid-2025 (1.5 years faster than predicted)

9- Lover will go 2x platinum in mid-2025 (0.75 years faster than initially predicted)

10- 1989 will go 6x platinum in early 2027 (on par with the initial prediction)

 

Very pleasantly surprised by the surge in catalogue sales Taylor saw over the past 6 months. It seems like for the entire months of September, October, and November Taylor's back catalogue was reaching new highs in terms of consumption via streaming. Speak Now in particular had a massive revival.

 

Update to this:

1- Reputation will go 2x platinum in June 2023 (1 year faster than last prediction)

2- Evermore will go platinum in September 2023 (3 months slower than last prediction)

3- Red (Taylor's Version) will go platinum in February 2024

4- Lover will go 2x platinum in September 2024 (0.75 years faster than last prediction)

5- Folklore will go 2x platinum in December 2024 (6 months faster than initially predicted)

6- Red will go 3x platinum in February 2025 (on par with initial prediction)

7- 1989 will go 6x platinum in mid-2026 (0.75 years faster than last predicted)

 

It's a little early to predict when Midnights is going to hit its next milestone (2x platinum), but since its already at 311,000 units less than a month after release, I wouldn't be surprised if it hits it as early as summer 2023, considering it only needs to sell around 10,000 units a week to get there and it's probably gonna remain above that for a fairly long time. That means Midnights is on track to outsell all of Taylor's post-1989 albums by the next summer, even faster than it'll do in the US.

That’s amazing for midnights - what an achievement already and such great predictions

Quite shook at this considering it didn't even go top 20 here, one of her best written songs ever imo and one of my all time faves :wub:

This is awesome! I wonder if Lover (song) will reach her personal top 10 in sales one day considering its insane stability on Spotify and the growth it had this year.

Wildest Dreams is closing in on a million units sold and it only reached number 40 here, way lower than even Style.

 

Both these songs were a lot more popular than their chart placements suggested, since they peaked a lot lower because of their absence on Spotify. Had they been on Spotify, their digital sales (Style, for instance, is at nearly 250,000 digital downloads in the UK) would've been a lot lower and streams a lot higher.

The songs above it are:

1 SHAKE IT OFF

2 LOVE STORY

3 BLANK SPACE

4 I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE

5 WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER

6 I DON'T WANNA LIVE FOREVER (FIFTY SHADES

7 LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO

8 WILDEST DREAMS

9 BAD BLOOD

10 STYLE

11 EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED

12 ME TAYLOR SWIFT FT BRENDON URIE

13 YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN

14 YOU BELONG WITH ME

15 22

 

Everything from the 11th to the 15th spot is doing a fairly limited amount of recurrent sales (except maybe You Belong With Me), thanks to either a re-recording being out or because of generally poor longevity, so Lover shouldn't have much trouble going up to number 11. It's gonna be a little harder to get higher than that, but I do expect that Bad Blood will eventually be overtaken by Lover thanks to the latter's superior daily streams and the former getting a newer version that will detract attention from the original.

'All You Had To Do Was Stay' has been certified Silver, one of my faves from 1989 :wub:
