As a huge Kelly fan. I've heard everything she has ever recorded. I have no desire to listen to this. :lol: James is literally bottom of the music pack for me and my musical interests. His voice is abhorrent and genuinely un-listenable to me.

 

I'm so annoyed she has a duet with him!! LMAO

 

I'm very much in the same boat. I probably will eventually give it a listen but I haven't bothered to do so yet and he's the reason.

I checked that Hide Away never charted in the UK :o It was fairly big in the US though, reaching #23 on Hot 100. Very interesting TikTok hit...

Not sure how many of them are available in the UK.

People keep trying to come for Taylor and her variants specifically vinyl variants. But, she's not even top 10 most vinyl variants this Decade. :lol: (A lot of formats overall for TTPD - sure but the Deluxe CD's are actually worth the money as you get quite a bit with it.)

 

@1773628751563162007

 

(TTPD is wrong and is actually 5 vinyl variants - so I am assuming they just forgot to include the TARGET exclusive, transparent vinyl)

 

What's really cheeky is someone like Ariana doing 7 different variants and it's just the cover that's different!

 

(Anyway this is a different conversation for a different thread)

I just believe some people are just trying to find a negative in every achievement record she breaking

 

I get why down bad is doing 3rd best that chorus is infectious but I want Who's afraid of little old me, to get a moment :lol:

Oh honestly give it a listen. Kelly sounds amazing on it and James actually sounds inoffensive for once!

Taylor has a fanbase that buys all her stuff x3 and also streams the album 200 times a week. What I've seen online this week, the number of obsessed fans is just insane. And it's great that she has those, but the general public determine the big hits (like Flowers by Miley Cyrus or Stick Season etc.)

 

I'm a huge Taylor fan and I bought 1 cd and streams get cut off and don't count at a certain point anyway. The amount of people who buys lots of variants is minimal. You're entitled to your opinion but it's not a fact.

 

What is a fact is that she is achieving amazing things, with amazing sales numbers.

No chance am I listening to James Arthur and his gravelly voice!!

Agreed I stream the album 15/20 times so far and listen to Taylor music an unhealthy amount but I haven't bought a single physical copy :lol:

Same here.. I've been a fan since 2010 and know her entire music catalogue inside out, seen her live on many occasions and she's been my number 1 artist on spotify for every year she's had her music available on there by quite a big margin. I'm what you would class as a "die hard" fan, could probably recite you any song from any album end to end every single lyric on the spot :lol: the only music of hers that I've ever bought are iTunes copies of every album up until Reputation (pre-streaming era, and then because we couldn't listen to it on streaming when she removed all her music off streaming services so I had no choice lmao). I bought a Midnights vinyl,the Jade green purely because I LOVED the colour, and that was a one off. It has just sat in a drawer ever since so not really sure why I wasted 30 quid on it lol.

 

I have many, many friends who are die hard fans also and they definitely do not buy every variant, 1 at most if any at all. The percentage of the fandom that buy into buying every single variant is nowhere near as big as some think. A lot of the people I come across on TikTok who are showing off their Taylor hauls are vinyl collectors in general and are the same people who are buying every variant of Billies, Olivias, Kylies etc

Her streams aren't slowing down much at all. If I'm Dua Lipa’s team I'm delaying the album one week esp since kanye is releasing vultures 2 this Friday also. Let that whole Taylor vs kanye play out them pick up 1 the next week

Random question now Spotify allows you to watch music videos are they added to the daily streams or is there a separate Spotify music video chart

Is Kanye actually releasing tho?

 

Also I swear he said he wasn’t putting the next one on streaming

I think Dua would have to delay for a month at this rate! I can’t see her opening as high as Future Nostalgia this time either

You never know with him but he said on a podcast last week that May 3rd is the release date

Dua will not be #1 in the US anyway, so it doesn't matter if she's #2 or #3

I think Dua would have to delay for a month at this rate! I can’t see her opening as high as Future Nostalgia this time either

 

This!! She won't get rhe no.1 anyway, so just eat the inevitable no.3. She can revamp her sound and come back with a bigger era.

I don’t even think Kanye will get #1 in the US or here

 

Can imagine Taylor’s third week sales will trump Kanyes first week in the US, imagine it could be:

#1 Taylor (3rd week)

#2 Kanye

#3 Dua

 

Whilst Dua I think in the U.K. will beat Kanyes first week and Taylor’s third week, could be close between all three though, but a guess (very unsure on this one):

 

#1 Dua

#2 Kanye

#3 Taylor

This!! She won't get rhe no.1 anyway, so just eat the inevitable no.3. She can revamp her sound and come back with a bigger era.

She’s not been a flop by any means but I think you’re right that this era is not looking as big as Future Nostalgia.

 

Houdini was a hit, Training Season was a moderate hit and Ilusion currently isn’t looking like a moderate hit but if it’s stabilised a bit and if it bounces back next week with the album it could become a moderate hit also with multiple weeks in the top 10.
