Come on Melanie!

Not sure how I feel about the delay. On one hand, I'm glad she's taking her time with the album (and the idea of new inspiration sounds very promising), but on the other I'm too excited for a new Kylie album to wait any longer. I am probably the one who wants this, but I'd love for Kylie to do a big band album a la the KylieX2008 version of Wow and the rendition of Love at First Sight she performed on Jools Holland in 2010. She would sound killer in that setting.

I wonder how long it will be till Confetti goes platinum. It was at 250,000 in July, so I think it should be at around 265,000 now. Hopefully by its third anniversary it will be there.

The songs above it are: 1 SHAKE IT OFF 2 LOVE STORY 3 BLANK SPACE 4 I KNEW YOU WERE TROUBLE 5 WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER 6 I DON'T WANNA LIVE FOREVER (FIFTY SHADES 7 LOOK WHAT YOU MADE ME DO 8 WILDEST DREAMS 9 BAD BLOOD 10 STYLE 11 EVERYTHING HAS CHANGED 12 ME TAYLOR SWIFT FT BRENDON URIE 13 YOU NEED TO CALM DOWN 14 YOU BELONG WITH ME 15 22 Everything from the 11th to the 15th spot is doing a fairly limited amount of recurrent sales (except maybe You Belong With Me), thanks to either a re-recording being out or because of generally poor longevity, so Lover shouldn't have much trouble going up to number 11. It's gonna be a little harder to get higher than that, but I do expect that Bad Blood will eventually be overtaken by Lover thanks to the latter's superior daily streams and the former getting a newer version that will detract attention from the original.

Wildest Dreams is closing in on a million units sold and it only reached number 40 here, way lower than even Style. Both these songs were a lot more popular than their chart placements suggested, since they peaked a lot lower because of their absence on Spotify. Had they been on Spotify, their digital sales (Style, for instance, is at nearly 250,000 digital downloads in the UK) would've been a lot lower and streams a lot higher.

Update to this: 1- Reputation will go 2x platinum in June 2023 (1 year faster than last prediction) 2- Evermore will go platinum in September 2023 (3 months slower than last prediction) 3- Red (Taylor's Version) will go platinum in February 2024 4- Lover will go 2x platinum in September 2024 (0.75 years faster than last prediction) 5- Folklore will go 2x platinum in December 2024 (6 months faster than initially predicted) 6- Red will go 3x platinum in February 2025 (on par with initial prediction) 7- 1989 will go 6x platinum in mid-2026 (0.75 years faster than last predicted) It's a little early to predict when Midnights is going to hit its next milestone (2x platinum), but since its already at 311,000 units less than a month after release, I wouldn't be surprised if it hits it as early as summer 2023, considering it only needs to sell around 10,000 units a week to get there and it's probably gonna remain above that for a fairly long time. That means Midnights is on track to outsell all of Taylor's post-1989 albums by the next summer, even faster than it'll do in the US.

Units moved since last update (as of 11 February 2022): 1989: ~88,000 (~2,200 units per week) Folklore: ~87,000 (~2,200 units per week) Lover: ~76,000 (~1,900 units per week) Red (Taylor's Version): ~66,000 (~1,600 units per week) Reputation: ~58,000 (~1,500 units per week) Evermore: ~55,000 (~1,400 units per week) Speak Now: ~33,000 (~800 units per week) Red: ~24,000 (~600 units per week) Fearless: ~17,000 (~400 units per week) Taylor Swift: ~12,000 (~300 units per week)

As of 27 October 2022: Shake It Off: 2,415,000 Love Story: 1,680,000 Blank Space: 1,630,000 Look What You Made Me Do: 1,035,000 Style: 872,000 Willow: 533,000 As of 17 November 2022: Albums: 1989 - 1,527,000 Red - 829,000 Fearless - 682,000 Reputation - 554,000 Lover - 418,000 Folklore - 389,000 Speak Now - 335,000 Midnights: 311,000 Evermore - 241,000 Taylor Swift - 201,000 Red TV - 197,000 Fearless TV - 108,000

Omg Kylie better pull through, Impossible Princess is her best album and I'm so glad she's pulling numbers this fantastic this long after release.

Massive streaming + huge vinyl shipments for personal collections. OP: So glad to see Kylie and Carly in the top ten! My little gay heart is just about to burst seeing all of my girls do so well this week.

Those are incredible numbers for both acts, I feel bad for AM. One would almost be forgiven if they thought it was still 2002 by looking at those first two slots.

Glad to see Taylor occupy the top 3! Also hearing that Kylie is headed for the top 5 with the Impossible Princess re-issue, is that true? It would be incredible for the album to get a new peak 25 years after release, it's so brilliant an album.

Around 110,000 for Taylor and 80,000 for the Arctic Monkeys. Huge numbers for both acts this late into their respective careers.

Seeing Can't Get You Out of My Head sell nearly 100,000 even in its fourth week was really impressive to me. It was obviously huge but I didn't realise how consistently high its sales were.

Yay, go Rina! Both Rina and Blackpink's albums were disappointing, but Rina's was still far, far superior. I hope she goes number one after all.

Well... :rolleyes: :dance:

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

As of 11 February 2022: Taylor Swift (2006): 189,550 Teardrops On My Guitar 211,407 Our Song 170,998 Fearless: 664,776 Love Story 1,543,019 You Belong With Me 644,616 White Horse 124,805 Fifteen 120,937 Speak Now: 302,286 Mine 215,531 Back To December 158,138 Mean 208,883 The Story Of Us 134,671 Enchanted 169,315 Red: 805,278 We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together 1,147,437 I Knew You Were Trouble 1,466,245 22 676,952 Everything Has Changed 821,768 The Last Time 117,489 1989: 1,439,732 Shake It Off 2,247,453 Blank Space 1,477,007 Style 747,412 Bad Blood 814,979 Wildest Dreams 803,977 OOTW 253,723 New Romantics 134,486 Non-single: I Don't Wanna Live Forever 1,075,517 Reputation: 496,923 Look What You Made Me Do 968,982 ...Ready For It? 511,080 Gorgeous 354,978 End Game 283,769 Delicate 486,489 Lover: 342,596 Me! 763,099 You Need To Calm Down 694,511 Lover 574,641 The Man 309,798 Folklore: 302,231 Cardigan 364,347 Exile 366,601 Evermore: 185,890 Willow 443,975

Big update coming soon. London you're gonna have your hands full for a few days with the amount of data you have to update ;)

I love Get Outta My Way, Les Sex, Live A Little, Wow, All I See, Love At First Sight, Fever, Give It To Me, Spinning Around, On A Night Like This, Cowboy Style, Confide In Me, and I Should Be So Lucky, and that's just the top of it. I really wish Kylie's team would work to increase public remembrance of her music. Too much of their focus is on putting out compilation albums every other year, and while that is a steadier source of revenue, improving her streaming would pay off more in the long run.

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

Hi everyone. I'm a very new Kylie fan, having only discovered her in December, but she has since become one of my favourite artists, and she is my most played artist on Spotify. I suppose I'm not the target demographic for her music (I wasn't even born until like 7 months after Body Language was released). I'm so happy to find a community of her fans here :wub: I find this very interesting. Going through her Spotify page, it is disappointing to see how low Kylie's streams are. Can't Get You Out of My Head has a solid 263M streams, & earns a very respectable ~225,000 streams on a daily basis on Spotify, and it has improved significantly in recent years, but the rest of her tracks don't fare nearly as well. Her second most streamed non-Christmas song is In Your Eyes with slightly over 46M, and earns around ~50,000 streams daily. The funny thing is that Head will probably get to 500M streams before any other Kylie song even gets to 100M. Why are her streams so disappointing? It's very possible for her to do well there, as evidenced by Head's strong success. My guess is bad playlisting. Honestly if she could manage to release a biopic that does well, her streaming could explode. Her songs sound surprisingly current compared to a lot of her contemporaries', so the material is there. Only the push is lacking.

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

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.

If these are eligible certifications, then I think you're wrong. If they're current certifications, it's still incorrect. Current certification (eligible certification written in brackets): Diamond: Fearless (11x Platinum) 9x Platinum 1989 (11x Platinum) 7x Platinum Taylor Swift (8x Platinum) Red (8x Platinum) 6x Platinum: Speak Now (7x Platinum) 3x Platinum: Reputation (5x Platinum) 2x Platinum: Lover (3x Platinum) Platinum: Folklore (3x Platinum) Uncertified: Evermore (Platinum) Fearless TV (Platinum) Red TV (Platinum)
