thank you so much :jump: :jump:

Hi! Does anybody have any estimation on when Love Story and Blank Space will reach 3x platinum?? Also, any prediction on which lover nonsingle will be certified next? My guess is either Paper Rings or IFTYE.

According to the OCC, Love Story had sold over 1,500,000 units by 19 November 2021, while according to Music Week it was at 1,338,000 units as of 19 February 2021. That means it's gaining at a rate of 4,928 units per week. Based on that, it'll take Love Story 55 more weeks till it goes 3x platinum. That means Love Story will probably go 3x platinum the week of its 14th release anniversary in the UK. We don't have that much information on Blank Space, but it was ranked as Taylor's fourth best selling song in the UK by the OCC the week Red TV came out, just behind I Knew You Were Trouble, which we know had sold around 1,450,000 units in the UK by then, and based on that one can assume Blank Space was over 1,400,000 units as of that week. Therefore, realistically speaking Blank Space should hit 3x platinum some time later this year, maybe around October. It also aligns with the fact that it's almost tripling Love Story's daily streams on Spotify and sporadically re-enters UK Spotify daily chart, so it hitting 3x platinum before Love Story makes sense.

 

Bonus prediction: Shake It Off was at 1,970,000 units as of 19 February 2021, and 2,200,000 units by 19 November 2021. Based on that, it should hit 4x platinum in October too. That means by its 8th anniversary, 1989 will be 5x platinum, with a 4x platinum song, 2 3x platinum songs, 5 platinum songs, and maybe 10 silver songs. Massive!

 

As for Lover non-singles, it makes absolute sense for I Forgot That You Existed to go silver next, followed by The Archer, followed by Paper Rings. Lover (song) should also go platinum this year, and Delicate and maybe even ...Ready For It? & Willow will follow suit.

Delicate is probably the best person to answer these questions but great to see your first post and welcome to the Taylor forum :)

You remembering me honestly made my day. Thank you :heart:

Aww of course - I love reading your stats etc. and thanks for the detailed answer. Those figures for 1989 are insane. It must be one of the most successful ‘pop’ albums of all time :wub:

 

I’m dying to see how well 1989 Taylor’s version is received / how much it sells - I wonder how much that will slow down the sales of the original though.

I hope there will be signed copies of 1989.

If I could get a signed copy to go with my signed copy of Red it would make my year. God imagine if I got a signed copy of Speak Now too!!! I’m actually more excited for the release of Speak Now however I know 1989 will have the bigger numbers.

thank you for answering my questions:) I love seeing your posts haha they're so in-depth. :heart: :rolleyes:

Yay. It deserves to be. Can’t wait for more to experience the masterpiece this album is once TV comes out.

Folklore is now officially certified platinum by the BPI! It is Taylor's seventh album to reach this milestone.

Thanks for these updated figures - you’re an absolute star.

 

Interesting to see that in the long run, Exile is more popular than Cardigan - just.

Despite Its low peak, Delicate has really gone on to ‘sell’ consistently.

All albums platinum apart from the first and the last :heart:

I’ll update the front page in the next couple of days - I love getting updated sales info!

 

Multi platinum songs = 5

Platinum songs = 10

Gold songs = 4

Silver sings = 15

01) Shake It Off 2,247,453

02) Love Story 1,543,019

03) Blank Space 1,477,007

04) I Knew You Were Trouble 1,466,245

05) We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together 1,147,437

 

Out of those five multi platinum songs, I’d probably say that two, maybe three of them are in my topish Taylor songs - but none of them would be in my top 5.

 

 

06) I Don't Wanna Live Forever 1,075,517

07) Look What You Made Me Do 968,982

08) Everything Has Changed 821,768

09) Bad Blood 814,979

10) Wildest Dreams 803,977

 

11) Me! 763,099

12) Style 747,412

13) You Need To Calm Down 694,511

14) 22 676,952

15) You Belong With Me 644,616

 

Out of the following 10 platinum songs, I’d say three of them are in my top Taylor songs :lol:

 

Great set of sales info! Didn't realise Everything Has Changed would be above 22 as the latter feels like an absolute classic and part of popular culture now when turning 22! Also surprised to see Exile just ahead of Cardigan, presume this gap will only increase now. Would it have worked better as a first single perhaps?

 

Look What You Made Me Do coming for 1,000,000 sales is also surprising, always forget that it's actually a big hit despite it's marmite nature.
