lol I was about to comment on that actually! obviously see the appeal and ivy is actually my sisters favorite but the stories just don't connect with me.

I think it's good that we all have our individual favorites. My top three played are willow (19), ivy (10), and tolerate it (10) right now.

HDD first projection is 300-350k

 

Folklore increased by 200k from its original projections so hopefully the same will happen with evermore, hoping for 500k+!

 

 

But haven't the rules changed in the US since Folklore? back then I think that the orders for the physicals counted on week 1 (when you pre-ordered)

but now they changed it and it counts when thy ship, so won't count

 

One thing I don't really get is why there were 16 different vinyls x Folklore but there is only 1 x evermore...

I’ve just listened to the album right the way through again I can honestly say there isn’t a track I don’t like.

 

My thoughts:

Willow & long story short are the two best songs from both albums.

Then, folklore has a few more songs that I prefer than on Evermore.

However, the weakest songs on Evermore appeal to me more than the weakest songs on Folklore - Evermore is a far more consistent album for me.

43.4m 2nd day on spotify! not too bad at all, the positions just look messy due to Xmas aha :lol: willow down to 17 on UK spotify but is still the highest non xmas track! she still has the top 5 on US spotify and no body, no crime reached a new peak of 3!

 

Looking like for sure the 3 UK chart eligible tracks are gonna be willow, no body no crime & champagne problems

yeah true! I'm hoping we can reach +400k though! (which I think is possible as HDD's first Taylor projections always seem to be slightly lowballing)

#1 in midweeks now :cheer: :cheer:

 

10.4k! folklore was at 14k at this point so I'm guessing this finishes around 30k?

 

5.3k digital (4.5k day 1, 800 day 2) & 5.1k streaming units

 

4k ahead of #2 (which is classic diamonds)

Gwon Taylor come through 6th straight number 1 fingers crossed

first look upcoming in the next couple hours!

 

cardigan was 4, the 1 5 & exile 7 in the Sunday first look

I'm expecting 4, 12 and 14 in first looks for whichever songs chart, and then perhaps 6, 19 and 21 for final. Pure guess but all down to christmas impact

I’m gonna go a bit more optimistic for this update! 😮 I’m going to say 3, 8 and 10! (Though for final I think I’m pretty much in agreement that I see them around those numbers haha!)

yep I was too optimistic :kink:

 

no body, no crime is first up at 15! champagne problems 12 <3

I was very close, I think it's a good start :)

A few songs in (will listen to the rest soon) and 'Willow' is decent enough, did repeat play it couple of times as it didn't strike me straight away but it's great I think I prefer 'Champagne Problems' and 'Gold Rush' more though especially the latter :wub: loving the flow of it and then the key change *.* love it.

Can we talk about how underrated marjorie is?!

 

I stan it so much 😍

I’m in bits at the lyric video 😭 how sad that she passed away just a few years before Taylor released her first album!

 

(on a much smaller scale it really made me think of my great grandma and how I lost her just a month before big life changes - turning 18/heading off to Uni etc. so I think it’s going to always be a tough but special listen)

 

I think my ultimate favourites are shaping up to be gold rush, no body no crime, tolerate it, dorothea, marjorie, champagne problems, long story short, happiness + willow - LOL basically almost everything :') songs are clicking more and more with every listen <3 trying not to buy anything until after Christmas now so will invest in the vinyl at a later date!

think this album is her slowest burner (listener wise) since her debut... 'no body no crime' and 'happiness' are my faves atm

#1 in midweeks :cheer: this seems to be doing folklore numbers but a day later so I'm guessing it finishes the week around 30k?

I still need to watch the lyric video oops, #flopfan :kink: I've heard so many people say its good but I've had so many essay deadlines atm :cry: gonna get round to watching all the lyric videos in the next couple days!

Album #1 on Monday's mids with 14.5k units so far!

Oh man she's so dumb for not releasing it two weeks later. She could've easily gotten a chatt double.
