What's the record for largest drop from #1?
Fun to see folklore, evermore, Lover and Fearless all in the top 50.

It's pretty! I like it, she sounds great obviously, but it also just kind of sounds like any other Adele song. It'll do well for her but I hope she has some tricks up her sleeve for the second single/rest of the album.

Both visually and sonically, it kind of seems like a retread of Hello so far, but hoping it takes a left turn after the intro...

We suggested on Saturday that Taylor Swift’s Fearless (Taylor’s Version) could be a roadblock between the latest release from Drake or Meek Mill for the top of Friday’s HITS Top 50. It’s no longer a suggestion. Fearless (Taylor’s Version) will easily take the #1 spot—and give Republic its 19th week at #1 so far this year. The only question now is how big will the number be? As of today, a total north of 130k has been reported, with most of those units coming from Swift’s online store. This week’s rollout is similar to what propelled Swift’s Evermore back to #1 earlier this year with more than 200k in total activity. Of that, 102k came from vinyl sales, setting the modern record by more than double. Will Fearless (Taylor’s Version) break 200k, and will Swift beat her own vinyl sales record? Never bet against Taylor Swift. hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=328539&title=NEW-RELEASES-UPDATED%253A-TAY-ON-TOP

After a squeaker for #1 on last week’s HITS Top 50, the first chart of Q4 could be shaping up for a similar race. First-day sales and streams have MMG/Atlantic’s Meek Mill projecting to about 90k with his 18-track Expensive Pain project. Last week’s runner-up, Drake’s Certified Lover Boy (OVO/Republic), would need to fall by one-third to give Meek a path to #1 based on today’s projection. The real fight, however, may not come from a new release but from Taylor Swift’s Fearless (Taylor’s Version), via Republic. Vinyl pre-orders are shipping for this week’s chart, along with signed CDs that were offered for 72 hours last week. While info is still forthcoming, a similar rollout was executed for Evermore’s vinyl just three months ago; the album soared back to #1 with over 200k in activity and set a single-week vinyl sales record for the modern era. Will Tay repeat this stunning performance? Stay tuned. Meek Mill (MMG/Atlantic) 85-95k total activity, 1-3k albums Tony Bennett & Lady Gaga (Interscope/Columbia) 35-40k, 33-37k Lil Wayne & Rich The Kid (Republic) 12-15k, <1k We might add that Love for Sale, the re-teaming of Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga on a set full of Cole Porter gems listed above, is the week's only release that makes us want to day-drink martinis. hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=328538&title=NEW-RELEASES-%28WITH-EXTRA-OLIVES%2C-PLEASE%29

Fearless (TV) already dropped off the Billboard 200. Re-entering at #1 will be great but I'm also afraid that it will be dropping so hard after that. She's coming for the record for biggest drop from #1 on the BB200. Wig. People said this about Evermore but it ended up staying in the top 10 a second week and then lingering around the top 50 for a few weeks after that because of continued vinyl sales. We'll see if this can manage the same.

Is she still doing Bullet Train movie? No, she had to drop out due to House of Gucci. Sandra Bullock replaced her, lol.

Will A*my continue mass buying a song that BTS is only featured on? Curious on if they'll push for numerous weeks at #1/top 10 or just let it die (we can hope).

Is this the first “beak up” Christmas song? "Christmases When You Were Mine" by Taylor Swift comes to mind, although that's a ballad.

I could see Bieber sneaking in for AOTY -- he has the name recognition and numerous hits from the album, despite the mediocre quality. And the committee doesn't exist to filter him out this time. The Academy nominated for YUMMY last year, after all.

It's always nice when actually good/deserving songs go viral on TikTok. This almost helps balance out them unleashing Astronaut in the Ocean on the world.

Who else are releasing on October 1st? I can see Drake doing around 100k so the #1 spot might be possible for TonyGaga with great sales. Cheek to Cheek did 131k. This is obviously Tony's final studio album so very interesting times ahead. Vinyls and signed CDs of Fearless (Taylor's Version) are shipping on October 1. I expect digital albums to be discounted that week too.

That cover doesn't scream Christmas to me but she looks great.
Excited for the album!

The bridge to Shake It Off is currently going semi-viral on TikTok, and there's also this:
Maybe she really should just drop 1989 TV this Friday!

Signed albums ship the same day as the vinyls, naturally. Gunning for #1 again.
Worth noting the price of the signed albums is $19.89, even for the international store.

Floor was $200 in Toronto. I got section 104 for $125, which I'm not mad about.
I miss paying $50 for her GA concerts though. 😭

Interesting to note that this version was produced by Shellback and Christopher Rowe, not Max Martin.

The horse movie came out in June and flopped. She dropped the song 'cuz the original was going viral on TikTok and being streamed a ton as a result, and she said NOT ON MY WATCH!.gif.

I still want Wildest Dreams (Taylor's Version) (From the Horse Movie) though. That version sounded amazing.

^ she basically confirmed on TikTok it's because the original version was going viral and she wanted people to use her version instead.
