UltraCruelSummer

Seven :cheeseblock: and you belong with me (Taylor’s version) went silver last Friday!

Most added song on US radio this week! Getting to the point this is gonna Dark Horse karma/whatever she pushes from Speak Now!

Songs from each album in the top 40: Red: 7/31 1989: 6/17 folklore: 5/17 Fearless: 4/26 Midnights: 4/23 reputation: 4/15 Lover: 3/18 Speak Now: 3/19 evermore: 2/17 Non-Album Songs: 2/22 Taylor Swift: 0/14 The Taylor Swift Holiday Collection: 0/6 (Speak Now includes If This Was a Movie, The Hunger Games tracks I'm counting on Red, 1989 includes Bad Blood Remix, All of the Girls... is included in non-album tracks) Kinda surprised at some of this! Shocked Speak Now has that little! Though ig if its top 50 it is top 3 with the most songs! Red, Fearless and Midnights all being higher than where I'd have them in my album rankings, but I guess alongside their filler all have crazy career highs!

#50-#41 50. Forever & Always (Fearless) - lol at this blocking the piano version from top 50, what a bop and album highlight though 49. no body, no crime (ft. HAIM) (evermore) - an evermore highlight and I love HAIM's contributions on this track, also love the country storytelling lyrics 48. Mean (Speak Now) - This was also top 3 on SN for me when I was younger, what an absolute yeehaw bop, an iconic video (Joey King!), and great lyrics, what a bop. 47. Better Man (Red) - Another great vault track, honestly some of her best lyrics ever (probs top 15 lyrically) and so stunning. Kinda wish the TV version was more similar in production/length to the Little Big Town version! I think I fell in love with their version so much that by the time this was released, obviously I love hearing Taylor's version but both are slays. 46. Should've Said No (Taylor Swift) - The highest from self-titled, that chorus goes off and what a classic, the Bad Blood rep tour mashup with this gave me life 45. Treacherous (Red) - Wasn't massive on this on initial release but goddamn it hit me eventually, what a fantastic song and that last minute is genius 44. Better Than Revenge (Speak Now) - If she dares changes a lyric on this track for TV we will riot. Sometimes one's gotta love a slightly anti-feminist BOP (Misery Business teas *.*). What a banger of a pop-rock track that I can still listen to on repeat & get my life everytime 43. Sparks Fly (Speak Now) - Ugh this album is such a classic, drop everything now indeed. Still slaps everytime I hear it. 42. Would've Could've Should've (Midnights) - easily the highlight of the 3am tracks! Lyrically fantastically and I love this little Happier Than Ever-esque gem in her discography 41. Getaway Car (reputation) - kinda surprised I didn't sneak this into my top 40! What an absolute gem with fab 80s-like production and an epic bridge! Masterpiece. Very unlucky to miss my top 40, my 40th placer nearly missed the top 40 due to the horrible Taylor Version, but I have too many precious memories of the original for that song not to be top 40!

Thanks guys <3 Glad to see some SYGB & CAY love :heart: Oops at me going for so many of your album faves tho that section!!

Obviously it should’ve never ever been the lead but I do have a soft spot for Me! (Original version with spelling is fun *.*), it’s a cute bop 😍 (and low-key top half on that album!) And also I am grateful that it was the lead single cos I’m not quite sure folklore would’ve happened as soon as it did without the reaction and ridiculing Me! got, Taylor def wanted the conversation to return to her great songwriting skills after getting dragged hard for Me’s lyrics 😂 But I’m glad Cruel Summer is finally getting it’s justice :cheeseblock: top 3 on the album since day 1 and yep should’ve been a single!

Cruel summer top 30 :cheeseblock: (and 105 on Apple Music, the highest it’s been this year on there!) Hope the OCC reset it soon!

This is stunning and so is Hollywood Bowl (which came out with the album on Friday), low-key prefer both of them to Say Yes To Heaven!

The transitions between tracks work really well on the album (apart from champagne shit+ black sugar beach - that should’ve just been one song) and there’s nothing bad on here… but at the same time there’s not one track where I’m like oh I want to hear that again. It’s all just very fine. Disappointing, but it could’ve been worse I guess.

Madonna’s vocals on this are giving me Madonna on the Nekci Menij Show vibes, to the point I’m low-key stanning

They’ve split supposedly :cheeseblock:

Not fall out boy 😭

The Lilith remix is pretty good, the BTS guy surprisingly doesn’t ruin the song! Ugh this album deserved so much better in general, top 5 of the decade for me so far!

As rumoured, there is a Hayley Williams collab called Castles Crumbling. There’s one more collab but the pic is so bad quality u can’t see it Of the other vault tracks - I can see you, timeless and a track starting with when Emma are vault tracks

Tracklist leaked!

I am shocked Karma isn't silver yet! Surely it's gotta be close?

I don't think we have a thread for this, but Taylor's getting so many songs certified atm its fun to have its own thread!

Just catching up on recent certifications and cardigan + willow both went platinum on the same day :cheeseblock:

#70-#51 not formatting or I will never finish this x 70. this is me trying (folklore) 69. august (folklore) 68. The Man (Lover) 67. tis' the damn season (evermore) 66. Superman (Speak Now) 65. The Very First Night (Red) 64. Vigilante Shit (midnights) 63. seven (folklore) 62. Cold As You (Taylor Swift) 61. Soon You'll Get Better (Lover) 60. mirrorball (folklore) 59. Starlight (Red) 58. Midnight Rain (midnights) 57. I Did Something Bad (reputation) 56. Style (1989) 55. gold rush (evermore) 54. marjorie (evermore) 53. ...ready for it (reputation) 52. I don't wanna live forever (NAS) 51. Forever & Always (Piano Version) (fearless) Taylor Swift: Cold As You drops out here and I believe there's only 1 track left from self titled. CAY is one of her most underrated songs, such a beautiful ballad & proved her immense talent from such a young age. Fearless: Again only one drops out, with the gorgeous piano version of Forever & Always, the only good deluxe track from that album x I wonder what beat it to the top 50 :o (I lowkey screamed when I just realised what I did!) Speak Now: Just loses one again with once again another deluxe track x Superman is SO underrated and I can't believe it wasn't on Spotify for ages :( Such a fun melody and I love the corny but cute lyrics, what a bop. Red: Loses 2 here. Another deluxe, well vault track, goes out with The Very First Night. What an absolute bop that should've made the main album, tho maybe it should be about 10 places lower here oops x And Starlight took forever to hit me but when it did, whew, a life affirming bop. 1989: Just loses one here but its a big one with smash hit Style. Pure pop perfection, though I probs don't rank it as high as most other Swifties. (Its the weakest non BB single from the album for me, and the only one that didn't go #1 in my personal chart!). Non album singles: The eternally underrated I Don't Wanna Live Forever just misses the top 50. When this came out part of me wondered if I just stanned it that much cos it was the first time we heard from Taylor in 2 years, but nope honestly its just a great song and one of Taylor's best attempts at this sexier style. I adore the chorus and yep still go back to it regularly. Reputation: Loses two BOPS here with brash hits I Did Something Bad and ...Ready For It, still get my life to both of them regularly. Lover: Loses two. First with The Man. I was utterly obsessed with this when it came out (would've been top 40 easily & challenging for my fave on the album) but idk the video just really killed this one for me a bit, in a way that's never happened with a Taylor song before :lol: Still an underrated bop though. And Soon You'll Get Better is arguably the most heartbreaking song in her discography, its helped me through some tough times and sends me into tears every time I hear it, but its a masterpiece + I love the Chicks harmonies + the hard-hitting but beautiful lyrics. Underrated gem. folklore: bleeds a bit with four going out here. This Is Me Trying crept up in my folklore rankings overtime through its relatable & powerful lyrics, august is a classic + love the melody/storytelling, same applies to Seven & I love the wistfulness of that song, and Mirrorball is just a beauty. evermore: folkmore bleeds as evermore loses three. Tis' The Damn Season really hit me overtime, once again great storytelling and I love the kind of Xmas-y feel of it. Gold Rush/Marjorie have always been back-to-back in my estimations & both instant album highlights, the former is wonderful - nice switch-up with the production, and the latter is poignant with stunning lyrics. Midnights: loses two with underrated bop of life Vigilante Shit (y'all will see the light someday) and fan favourite Midnight Rain which really grew on me overtime, it gives me Melodrama-interlude so I love it for that. Top 50 soon! x

Ik it’s obviously helped a lot by streaming, but if you only count the physical sales of the top 20 albums this week, 1989 would actually be top 10 under that distinction! 😮

Thanks to the Kylie forum, we can work out this has sold 10,547 so far this week x Anti-Hero sold something between 10,682 and 11,141 last week, so unless AH massively increases I'd say this should probs be good for a re-entry this week!

#80-#71 80. The Story of Us 79. King of My Heart 78. Dancing With Our Hands Tied 77. All You Had to Do Was Stay 76. Bad Blood (ft. Kendrick Lamar) 75. 22 74. Never Grow Up 73. Mr. Perfectly Fine 72. Right Where You Left Me 71. Come Back... Be Here Also sidetone I'm not editing the ranking from when I made it a couple months ago! We lose two huge top 10 hits here! Bad Blood remix version has always been superior to the original, the Kendrick verses are good, the video is obviously iconic (and f*** I watched it SO many times in 2015) and the production is a serve. Honestly underrated. And 22 is obviously a timeless bop and it helps that I'm 22 right now so obviously its been a big anthem this year x A couple more singles leave here! The Story of Us was top 3 in my Speak Now trinity when I was like 12, I still love it and the lyrics are clever, but I don't go back to it as much as I used to anymore! And we lose the final Fearless vault track as Mr. Perfectly Fine is a perfectly fine BOP. Reputa loses two tracks here back-to-back. I've always had very similar feelings for both KOMH and DWOHT so not surprised to see them together here, love the production flourishes on both & the changes between the chorus/verses, and the lyrics are strong. Both underrated reputation bops x All You Had to Do Was Stay was just more 1989 pure-pop perfection, what a catchy bop. Never Grow Up never used to be a favourite of mine but the lyrics and melody really hit me hard a few years ago and its such a relatable song that just hurts so yeah I now love it. Similarly, Come Back... Be Here was also a very late grower on me, I love the Avril-vibes of it and the changing chorus lyrics, and its another Red deluxe track that should've been on the main album! We also lose another bonus track with Right Where You Left Me, what an absolute bop and no wonder why its one of the most streamed songs from evermore x

Thanks for all the comments as always! <3 I am one of the three Me! defenders in this world :kink: So was I!! When doing this I realised I kind of actually really like the Ed collabs (bar Run) as much as I complain every time he pops up again :lol:

Omg oops I did my usual 😭😂 Will try and get this done over the next few days!!

Hated the remix on first listen but it’s really starting to grow on me now though! The original will remain superior x the video is cute too, not her best not her worst. I just don’t know if Ice Spice’s unbothered/low-key style of rapping works for this track, I kinda feel like Cardi would’ve been perfect on this track. Really hope it can go top 10 tho!! Also hits different is fab, it gives off such perfect mid-2000s teen soundtrack vibes and I adore it for that 😍
