Snooze is on sale at $0.69 on iTunes now. Perhaps a push for #1?

I hope it gets there, it's such a good song, and Cruel Summer and Snooze both getting #1 is the ideal scenario for me.

Taylor gaining TWO chart-toppers (cruel summer and slvt) in the span of three weeks 17 years into her career is TERRIFYING. she’s gonna tie Whitney Houston and surpass Janet Jackson. 
The day she surpasses Rihanna many people will be shambles. The music industry will tremble at her feet. Her reign will be absolute. 

Everyone was convinced Enchanted TV would go number one, and it didn’t even go Top 10. I want nothing more, but the TV’s are a crapshoot on performance

anyone knows the hype for 1989 TV is inasane. it re-entered the top 10 on BB200 after it’s announcement and even if it doesn’t hold up in the log run it’ll be big for few weeks at least. not even the devil could stop her at this point 
but I wonder for how long will she be going… likeeee if she’ll ever get bored 😐

Lets be real they'd be lucky if that added more than 1 point to the song, and it's losing more than that from its radio collapsing.

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Sza has never been much of a pure seller. It won't make much of a dent for it, considering the song is currently #41 at iTunes.

[fridayteenage]

out of curiosity, 21stc women, lead top 5s with 0 #1s:
Missy 3 (including one from 99)
Ice Spice, Ellie, Bebe, Dua, Eve, Natasha Bedingfield 2

Wonder which will eventually pull it off.

[whaleblubber]

Early days, let's see how that +2% for Cruel Summer holds up...

Also at Water potential surging into the top 20.

[fridayteenage]

If that drop repeats the following week for Paint the Town Red, only Taylor(s?) would be at 200+ points.

The following week has 1989 (TV) coming out, and given how I Can See You opened with ~180 points (iirc) 200+ for its "lead" single shouldn't be out of the question.

Cruel Summer blocking it would be hilarious though-- a suffering from success moment.

[KeepDeanWeird]

^ Great example of TOTC giving false *dog whistles* to Swifties by making them think CS is *safe* so they become complacent and SZA surges right past it.

The Power of TOTC! lol

[jja2389]

How would snooze surge past cruel summer? It’s bleeding on radio and its streams are nothing to write home about. Additionally, its discount won’t really aid in its overall sales… it would be lucky to pass PTTR.

i said this a few times and ill say it again: there is even a chance of another #1 after slvt, if swifties refrain from buying blank space TV or style TV (or whichever having the 2nd most streams) on itunes, and then mass-buy it the week after slvt claimed the top spot. 

with the charts being so weak right now, if taylor's team were to drop a remix/instrumental version and it gets ~30k downloads then it could totally happen. not sure if theyre cooking this up or not, though.  

You have said this over and over and it's not happening unless there is an actual push and focused effort from Taylor's team. All of the standard re-recordings / non vault tracks typically peak first week in streams and then collapse after. That's the pattern established with the first three re-recordings. I'm sure 1989 will still hold better than the others but it still will follow that I'm sure. You really can't "mass buy" with just iTunes. You can only buy one copy per song unless there's multiple versions, which why would Taylor do all of that for an old song? It just doesn't make any sense. If she decides to do focus on pushing any song - it's going to be a new one

It was a joke related to posters who believe TOTC conspired to boost CS this last tracking week. Snooze's days are over.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

It's tragic that after all those album bombs 124 points is enough for a #10...

the way Never Really Over would've been a top 5 single if released today lol.

[korbel16]

have the charts ever been this low in points…i get that there’s no hits but damn

[Choco]

I think Snooze's chance has passed.

[85la]

Damn, In The City by Sam Smith and Charli XCX is TANKING!!! Nowhere in the Spotify top 200 or Apple Music top 200, currently only #111 on iTunes, and no airplay (though probably not being pushed). And too bad, because I really like it!!

Charli is not a name that's going to automatically do numbers so I'm surprised you had the expectation it was going to chart in the top 200 on either. Speed Drive is a one off hit for her in the US.

I have to also be honest in that it's probably her worst single release of the decade. Everything else has been great or even amazing but this song is just not as good as her other recent material.

[laislabonita]

this album will define Rihanna’s career to this generation and I really hope from the bottom of my heart she doesn’t end up like Adele. EVERY comeback that had a big hype didn’t hold up and it’s becoming a pattern. she will either establish herself again or get another 30.
I’m very excited for her like I miss her so much.

Well, I respectfully disagree. Plus Sam Smith is also on it, so that could've boosted it as well.

[jayhawk1117]

Oooof looks like 200 pts is “all” a 1989 song needs to debut at 1. If anything even matches I Can see you, it’s already number 3 THIS week. A Taylor sweep is more than possible tbh, charts are crazy week lol. It would be PEAK comedy if Cruel summer holds off the tidal wave 😂

Yeah… snooze has run outta chances sadly. Barring another remix, it was never gonna catch cruel summer anymore. The airplay had peaked and the streaming peaked, even if it held steady by the time Doja and Taylor were beatable…. Boom it’s Christmas and no one can compete with Christmas.

God I hope this Rihanna rumor is true

With 4 TVs and 4 post-Big Machine albums, it's interesting to see if Taylor's team will try to break Billboard 200 (maybe not with this release) records like they did with Midnights in Hot 100. 10/10 doesn't look possible but maybe full top 3 + 3-4 other entries in top 10?

come to think of it, getting 10 out of 10 on the albums 200 chart could actually be doable for her with a proper marketing strategy.  she can do some kind of special 'the end of eras tour' promo and release special Live Vinyl / CD her past 10 albums, make it known that they are all limited production items with only 100k copies available to gin up hysteria. all it takes then is to announce it during a weak moment in the chart where #1 is about 70k units and bam, she could take up all 10.

yea im obviously kinda wishfully wishing it, but if something like a "style TV ft. harry styles' were to be released then im sure it could happen. will depend on her team though.

You can expect even higher points for Christmas songs and lower points for non-Christmas songs this year.
