Back in the top 5 this week :cheer:

so with this album being nearly 2 months old now, what's everyone's thoughts?

 

 

I'm pretty confident that this is my favourite Taylor album now and easily makes up my holy trinity of folklore-reputation-speak now :wub:

 

My album ranking nowadays is probs like this:

 

Untouchable top 2:

1. epiphany

2. cardigan

 

I honestly think cardigan could overtake soon :o it's so damn perfect

 

perfection:

3. the last great american dynasty

4. my tears ricochet

5. exile (ft. Bon Iver)

6. seven

7. august

8. mirrorball

9. betty

 

a good music video + a push soon and exile can def move up to 3rd, it's v. close there. august has been hitting me so hard over the last week or two <3 and Betty def gets a boost from its live performance <3

 

perfection pt. 2:

10. the 1

 

(oops at this having a category of its own rn, august has outgrown this now and Betty would've been here until tonight oops!)

 

I stan so much but ngl my top 10 is dead set:

11. this is me trying

12. mad woman

 

these 2 are v. interchangeable depending on my mood

 

I love but the others are better:

13. the lakes

14. invisible string

15. illicit affairs

 

I've kind of cooled on the lakes over the last couple weeks after thinking it'd crack my top 10 after the first week of its release!! oops

 

I love but they're the ones I go back to least by far:

16. hoax

17. peace

HDD released the top 50 albums of the year so far and folklore is already in 6th place :cheer: it's sold 1,404,000 and I think it could have a chance of top 3 with another couple boosts :wub:

 

880k pure sales, highest of the year obvs and hope it passes 1mil soon!!

 

in other Taylor albums news, Lover is 28th in YTD (670,000) & has spent over a year in the top 50 (ahead of rep and equaling red) and 1989 has now spent 300 weeks on the hot 200 :cheeseblock:

so with this album being nearly 2 months old now, what's everyone's thoughts?

My top two are hoax and mad woman. :heart: I love the album.

a record store in Edinburgh sold signed CD's today :o I really hope more happen in the UK!

a record store in Edinburgh sold signed CD's today :o I really hope more happen in the UK!

chart-run: 01-01-01-02-03-08-05-06 (8wks)

 

previous albums weeks top 10/top 40:

Lover - 6wks top 10 / 12wks top 20 / 41wks top 40

 

top 5 - 9wks off 1989 atm, beat everything else

Poor hoax :P

She's going to perform at the Billboard Music Awards on October 14.

She's going to perform at the Billboard Music Awards on October 14.

Yes!!

She's going to perform at the Billboard Music Awards on October 14.

Where did you read that, I can't find it. :(

the leaked line-up seems to be untrue (it was a Portuguese commercial during the Emmy's last night), it seems to be a playlist with those artists on promoting the billboard music awards rather than the artists performing! :( Esp Ed Sheeran makes no sense as he has nothing out atm.

 

Tho I do think she'll perform whatever tho, hopefully we'll get a proper announcement soon!

Maybe we will get another performance of betty.

predicted to return to #1 in the US with around 85k sold! :o terrific to see, it'll be the album's 7th week at #1 if it happens :cheeseblock:

I hope it happens!
