No ones gonna listen to a crap song because a music video is out. The fact this was decided as a second single makes me question the quality of the album.

By the end of 2025 Taylor will have 6 million selling albums TTPD, Midnights, Folklore, Lover, Reputation and 1989. Red probably would have made it also had Taylor’s version come out later.

Reckon it’ll be: #1 Taylor #2 Billie #3 Dua #4 Imagine Dragons #5 Coldplay re entry maybe?

ngl I expected bigger jumps. Thought Houdini and Illusion would go top 30 and re chart in the top 25.

Sad that Taylor’s not #1, Gracie got lucky

Interested to see how much Coldplay rise after Glastonbury, I reckon their whole catalogue will shoot up; but imagine their single will go into the top 25 again

Releasing/promoting to the radio, a potential music video and just general statement that it’s the second single to build up hype. As well as playlist support with it being the single will boost its numbers.

I reckon 75-100K if Gracie Abrahams who has had no hit, barely any back catalogue is hitting #1 with 30K sales I’m sure Sabrina has at least 3x the fans, back catalogue and hits? 2024 has been her year.

Taylor needs to quickly jump on releasing I can do it with a broken heart now that U.K. tour is over until a few dates in August. As her songs have held up purely because of the tour here; it’ll start falling soon and will struggle to climb back. She should be releasing it this Friday as a single as fortnight has already fallen down the billboard charts, surely her team know this? It’s been 10 weeks normal break between singles..

I think they thought they were bigger than they are as soloists; Jade has next to no shot 2.5 years later. It’s the equivalent of Jess Glynne/Rita Ora waiting 4 years for her next album, British artists in particular people move on from if they’re not releasing music. They fade away as their music isn’t international so it’s not all over social media/tv ads/day to day life. Surely they knew this before hand and know they’re gonna flop?it doesn’t take a genius. So many careers have been dramatically impacted from waiting too long, Ellie Goulding is another good example.

When they first came on the scene though there was demand. ZAYN was straight to #1 with a huge single and loads of demand. Liam had a big hit straight to #3 (without need of physicals to just reach top 10 for a week like Perrie) which had some longetivity and multiple top 40s Louis same as Liam really and Niall has had a long stable career. Heck even Jesy could have had that demand as she released not 2+ years after the break; she even saw bigger numbers despite a terrible song. Had it been a good song she had a real chance.

Why are people shocked about Petrie? That song is so generic and like 2010s sounding, it was clearly not a hit. They all waited too long after Little Mix ending to launch solo careers

Hope Taylor can overtake Gracie, imagine if it’s 2:1 that Taylor is on 6k and Gracie 12k. Reckon Taylor will finish around 15k, but can’t imagine Gracie will have huge streaming numbers she will be physical heavy on the first few days, so might be close, but looking like Gracie will take it as doubt Taylor can catch up 1.25k a day.

Taylor has 7 weeks at number 1 then for the albums.

Hoping fortnight re enters top 10, it’s been stalling at 11 for weeks, and I’m sure people will call it a flop for X weeks in top 10 whilst it’s actually remained consistent in a very competitive quarter (it’d have been top 5 for so many weeks if released anytime in the last year bar Christmas)

I think I can do it with a broken heart and guilty as sin? we’re the only two songs that could become hits, she should have made one the lead. Guilty as sin is the fourth highest streamed from the album despite not being on the eras tour, I wonder how high it’d be if it was included

Who claimed it wouldn’t be doing well without the tour? I think this is aimed at me, I just said I think it will have fallen behind Billie/dropped a bit, as in I imagine Billie would be doing higher streaming numbers (which isn’t absurd to say as Billie was just 1.5K behind on Monday? And a tour is proven to generate loads of streams both before in anticipation and afterwards?). This is because Billie has two hits from her album (Birds of a Feather has been doing large numbers since launch 4-5 weeks ago)

Glad Taylor is touring the Uk during this time as imagine without it she for sure will have fallen behind Billie/dropped due to not really having a big hit (Fortnight is a hit but it’s not big compared to Lover’s Cruel Summer and Midnigjhts Anti Hero).

She should have just farted out 4000 more signed cds as they’d have sold in 4 hours, but not sure if they could ship them in time

Realistically though with just 5 hours I can’t see digital albums appealing to anybody? It’s also not advertised anywhere except in an email to swifties, she might get 500 that bite but can’t see it being more than that? People are collectors they like to collect, all of her fans will want the new physical not a digital album which is not a collected item? But 500 sales might make the entire difference so this is likely all she needs. I guess they are going for every single number now.

What a slay, get that number 1

Exploit me!! I’ wanted to buy the album but it sold out in seconds, she could have the #1 guaranteed if she’d kept it up for an hour

Hoping Taylor snatches it, but interesting if Bon Jovi sell even 2.5K of their signed CDs they could snatch it also if they’re all within 1K, but they’d need minimum 2.5K shipped today as streaming will reduce them further. Looking like Taylor will overtake Charli on final day/streaming figures unlesss Charli has physicals still

Crazy how demand is there, I hope Taylor nation workers can just sign them all for Taylor and she puts up at least 10K

The page is down for me? I was going to buy
