Nice selection, and if their predictions are as good as last time, I should probably get Nobody Love soon. Of course, now that I buy every hit as it becomes a hit, these CDs have become redundant for me, but at least it's an interesting arrangement, especially with Ellie, Robin Schulz, Sam Hunt, and Fall Out Boy. (Also, nice to see Taylor's team has loosened up on letting songs into compilations) Also cool to see Banks and Betty Who getting nods; All of You is an awesome track and earned that Club #1.

I'm surprised Taylor's team let one of her songs onto a compilation

Wasn't Blank Space in vol 53?

Nope, it was a rather peculiar exclusion (along with not having Shake it Off previously), which led some of us to theorize that, like the Spotify decision, Taylor's marketing team wanted to concentrate revenue streams from album sales, not royalties from audio streaming and compilations.
