[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

... Ready for It? is already #1 in iTunes and I see you can already stream it in Spotify. So the other thing that remains to be seen is radio support. I guess it is possible we could get #1/#2 Taylor songs in a Hot 100 chart soon and it could replace Look What Make Me Do at some point.

Hits Daily Double wrote this about it:

"READY" FOR MORE NEW TAY?
Sunday, September 3, 2017

Taylor Swift released a second track off her 11/10 album reputation early on Sunday. The new song, "Ready for It?, is now #2 at iTunes (where it's rendered …Ready for It?), while her mega-smash "Look What You Made Me Do" remains #1. The second track, snippets of which were heard during commercials for the Alabama-Florida State Saturday night game on ABC, extends Taylor’s relationship with ESPN and sister network ESPN, where “LWYMMD” has been used widely during sports broadcasts. “…Ready for It?” will also be used as the theme song for ABC's fall TV season.

The track continues the first single’s eerie electronic vibe in its grinding verses, but transitions dramatically into a Technicolor, major-chord chorus payoff.

Taylor teased the new track via Twitter before beginning the next stage of her offensive on prime-time TV.

Are you #readyforit?

Day 1 streaming is gonna determine if there's any real chance of it at number one but I think top 3 is pretty likely

I don't think so as Look What You Made Me Do is still smashing records everywhere, but it will probably debut high. Top 3 seems like a definite.

Though I don't think it's gonna be around for long, as it's just a promotional single and usually promotional singles don't get a radio push. And without radio support the song won't thrive, unless sales or streaming stay up. With the former being unlikely.

We'll see what happens, maybe she'll actually release it as a second single and to radio depending on how well it does.

The take from HeadlinePlanet for ... Ready for It?:

Taylor Swift’s “Ready For It” Will Receive Radio Airplay This Sunday

A montage for Saturday night’s Alabama vs. Florida State college football game featured a Taylor Swift song.

The song was not her new single “Look What Made Me Do.”

It was instead “Ready For It,” another track set to appear on Swift’s forthcoming album “Reputation.” In addition to scoring the college football montage, “Ready For It” appears in a commercial for ABC’s fall schedule.

“Ready For It” will continue to receive attention Sunday. According to the official iHeart website, mainstream iHeartMedia stations will begin playing the song at 8AM ET Sunday morning.

“‘Ready For It'” isn’t an follow-up official second single to “Look” but the track is set to invade radio airwaves as iHeartRadio stations will start playing the song on Sunday morning starting at 8 AM ET,” clarifies iHeart.

“Look” has been receiving mammoth airplay since its launch last week. It is expected to claim a Top 10 position on this week’s Mediabase pop chart.

[Golden Bluebird]

It's worth noting that tomorrow is Labor Day, so the Top 10 won't be revealed until the day after.

KESHA DISCOUNT PRAYING WHILE YOU STILL CAN!

Praying should hold up pretty well in the Top 40 because it has decent airplay and sales, but unless it gets discounted I don't see her getting that Top 20 peak. Discounting it now while the song is still gaining on airplay is a great idea.

[Normi]

Isn't it a bit too deep into the week for '...Ready for it?' to debut at #1 (or even Top 3 honesstly)

Despacito peaked and this song will probably outsell and outstream it and it is bleeding airplay. Bodak Yellow is raising slowly, +100k and good streams should be enough to debut at top 3.

[chartfreak]

And I thought sales was the weakest component of the Hot 100 formula. You think with 5 days of sales that it can debut top 3? Wow.

Oh thought it was sales

[85la]

^ On average, it's probably airplay actually, but there's no set percentage. It's an a la carte point system, so it depends on how much sales/airplay/streams each individual song gets. Technically, a song could be #1 from digital sales alone if it sells enough.

[chartfreak]

Got it. Been out of the loop with formulas.

[Rose "Payola" Nylund]

Any component that gets a high enough number can do well with just that.

[Deleted]

Aren't sales technically the strongest part of the formula? A single sale generates a lot more money than a single stream or radio listen. However, this results in fewer sales per song, and that number is getting weaker by the day. 100k sales would probably be enough to break the top 20, but 100k streams wouldn't get close.

[badrobot]

This makes me wonder -- what are the songs that have been most disproportionate in where they got points? (I.e., which got the highest percentage of their points from sales, airplay, and streaming in a single week?)

I don't know about all the 100 songs, but in the top 15 the song that's been most disproportionate is Bank Account with ~86% of its points coming from streams.

I'm guessing the Harlem Shake must've been the biggest streaming giant with over 150k points from streaming and almost nothing else. Prince's Purple Rain was probably the sales king the week it returned to #4 when he died (due to not being available anywhere else). Not sure about radio.

Well, apart from the monetary aspect, 100k in sales also represents 100k different people, whereas 100k in streams represents far fewer (well, on the reasonable presumption that many people streamed it more than one time). It's a subjective thing as to whether that matters.

The thing is 100k sales is A LOT and 100k streams is nothing. You can't really compare 1 sale with 1 stream, of course 1 sale have more weight than 1 stream but people stream a lot more than once.

Glee swarmed the chart usually for a single week at a time almost entirely because of sales

[forg]

2002-2004 charts were pretty much airplay driven with the death of physical sales and digital sales were still too low

[Enigma.]

At this rate (LWYMMD is at 0.4 on Kworb) Ready for It will not challenge top 3 unless its streaming numbers are gigantic.

I'm a bit annoyed that both Niall Horan and Liam Payne with his lame Timberlake rip-off have scored far bigger radio hits than Harry Styles' epic Sign Of The Times. A clear chart injustice.

While I prefer Styles' song over the others so far, it's interesting than Liam's is a ripoff of JT while Harry's isn't considered as such.

You think Harry rips off JT?

[deepston]

Ready for It sold 84k on the first day while LWYMMD sold nearly 40k in the last 24 hours.
I can smell top 2.
