Everything has changed surprised me too - I didn’t realise it had sold so much.

 

I think either Cardigan or Exile would have made good first single choices as both were popular at the time. But I see your point though: was Cardigan only as popular because it was a single and if Exile had been pushed as a single, given just how popular it was despite it not being so, would it have gone on to perform much better than Cardigan did in those first few weeks?

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!

This was a big surprise to me too. 'Everything Has Changed' sold 299k in 2013 and '22' sold 257k, so the gap has only increased since. Presumably Ed Sheeran featuring gives it more exposure? Still, one feels quite forgotten and the other remains relevant in pop culture.

 

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.

No doubt a hit, but poor in terms of 2017 #1s as only it and charity single 'Bridge Over Troubled Water' are yet to pass 1m whilst most of the others are above 2m.

Surprised that was the case back in 2013 too! Knew Ed Sheeran would have some benefit but thought 22 would've been up there too rather than being necessarily surprised by the sales figure EHC has!

 

Good to get some context on LWYMMD! 2016/2017 was massive for sales figures if I remember right because of the different sales point ratios? Wasn't quite so wrong to be surprised by that one!

Definitely see why Cardigan was picked as single 1 but Exile perhaps would've stood out even more and created a bigger impact than Cardigan? Suppose Exile is the better album seller because of the feature so all has worked out and they both got top 10 peaks and several weeks in the top 40.

This doesn’t surprise me at all. It certainly hasn’t remained a fan favourite. I also just looked up the top 100 songs of 2017 and it ended 2017 as the 89th biggest selling song. That must have been one of (if not the) lowest selling #1 of the year.

Yeah I guess we’ll never know. It is good to see Exile doing so well over time. I’m still waiting for the world to wake up to The Last Great American Dynasty.

The front page is updated.

 

I’ve added a Non-charting certified songs section.

 

Red TV is really holding up much better then I expected it to. It’s still top 40 :)

Just a little update: champagne problems and paper rings have been certified silver!

If I'm not mistaken Taylor's overall certifications should be at 22.76M. Does anyone have any idea when Love Story (TV), WD (TV), and Mr. Perfectly Fine should reach Silver? I've noticed that when her songs post-reputation get 180M-230M streams on Spotify, they often reach 200K units in the UK. Also, I assume that ATW TV is getting really close to reaching gold certification. :dance:

Love Story TV should be really close, I expect all 3 songs you mentioned to get to silver before the year ends.

Well... :rolleyes: :dance:

Yup, once again she’s surprised us and we’ve got it wrong :lol:

Well... :rolleyes: :dance:

In this case, I'm glad that I'm wrong! :wub:

Her UK album chart performances are so consistent across her catalogue in general.

 

3 Top 40 albums this week

 

27 - Folklore (111 weeks on chart)

37 - 1989 (267 weeks on chart)

39 - Lover (142 weeks on chart)

 

 

Plus

59 - Evermore (74 weeks on chart)

70 - Reputation (77 weeks on chart)

77 - Red (Taylor’s Version) (35 weeks on chart)

 

All up in position from last week too! Impressive :wub:

 

When 1989 is released as Taylor’s Version, I wonder if the original will still chart as high as this. Her streams are so high though week on week and her albums chart runs are looking so impressive!

I feel like folklore has allowed her older work to get much more recognition in the UK and Europe in general. Even august re-entered the singles chart at #96 this week. At this rate she's getting 4 album tracks to gold certifications sometime next year. I believe DBM, Enchanted, and Cruel Summer are around 300k units and August has very similar numbers on spotify and overall charts history.

Streaming queen. It’s interesting to see that Evermore is close to Reputations numbers.

 

I need to update the front pages, I just cba but I’ll get round to it! And updated sales figures send my way please !
