1. What will finish at #1? -- "All Too Well" and "I Knew You Were Trouble" will be the top 2, so one of them. 2. What will finish at #19? -- "All Too Well" or something like "Starlight".

1. What will finish at #1?-- "All Too Well" and "I Knew You Were Trouble" will be the top 2, so one of them. 2. What will finish at #19?-- "All Too Well" or something like "Starlight". 3. What will have the highest standard deviation (most polarizing)?-- "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "The Last Time". 4. What will have the lowest standard deviation (least polarizing)?-- "All Too Well" and "Girl At Home". 5. Other tracks you think will do well/poorly?-- None of the bonus tracks is gonna make the top 10 even though they deserve it, "22" might miss the top 10 due to a lot of tankers. "Begin Again" and "Holy Ground" will hopefully reach the top 8 or something. 6. Any guesses on the best performing single (although this may or may not overlap with the #1 question)?- "I Knew You Were Trouble". 7. Any other random comments/thoughts if you have any?-- Out of my top 8 songs (which I named 'All time favorites tier') I can see 3 or 4 of them leave outside the top 10. -- People are gonna hate me for my #19. -- They're also gonna hate me for having their precious *overrated* song in my bottom 3. -- My #15 was one of my most hated Taylor Swift songs for a long time. I kinda love it now though and I'm glad things turned around. I wouldn't mind if it escaped the bottom 5 but it won't. If Begin Again and Holy Ground both miss the top 8 due to Everything Has Changed I will flip a table. Otherwise I can't imagine both of them missing top 8. My prediction is 1. All Too Well 2. I Knew You Were Trouble 3. Red 4. State of Grace 5. Begin Again 6. Holy Ground 7. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together 8. Treacherous 9. 22 10. Everything Has Changed 11. Sad Beautiful Tragic 12. Starlight 13. Come Back Be Here 14. I Almost Do 15. The Moment I Knew 16. The Last Time 17. The Lucky One 18. Stay Stay Stay 19. Girl At Home

1. What will finish at #1? Probably "I Knew You Were Trouble" 2. What will finish at #19? It had better be "The Last Time," but it'll most likely be one of the bonus tracks like "Girl at Home." 3. What will have the highest standard deviation (most polarizing)? "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" 4. What will have the lowest standard deviation (least polarizing)? "All Too Well" 5. Other tracks you think will do well/poorly? I think "The Last Time," "Stay Stay Stay," and the bonus tracks will flop. The singles should all do well + "All Too Well" and "State of Grace." 6. Any guesses on the best performing single (although this may or may not overlap with the #1 question)? I'll be shocked if it isn't "I Knew You Were Trouble" 7. Any other random comments/thoughts if you have any? I really hope "Begin Again" does well because it's a gorgeous song and one of her more underrated singles.

I mean Martina's had hits after 2006 too... just not as many as Taylor! I love how this all started because I posted a Reba gif Okay tho, wait a minute. Apparently this exists!

Interesting that so many are predicting #1-#2 for I Knew You Were Trouble considering people here have said the dubstep made it sound dated/age poorly (not that I agree).

1. What will finish at #1? All Too Well or cancel the rankdown now. 2. What will finish at #19? Girl At Home, but it should be The Last Time. 3. What will have the highest standard deviation (most polarizing)? Stay Stay Stay 4. What will have the lowest standard deviation (least polarizing)? All Too Well 5. Other tracks you think will do well/poorly? Well - Holy Ground, I Knew You Were Trouble., All Too Well, We Are Never Ever Ever Getting Back Together Poorly - The Last Time, Girl at Home, Sad Beautiful Tragic, The Moment I Knew, The Lucky One 6. Any guesses on the best performing single (although this may or may not overlap with the #1 question)? I Knew You Were Trouble. This, but GAH does deserve to be last and add State Of Grace to the list of songs that will do well. 7. Any other random comments/thoughts if you have any? Hoping my 4 does well, since it doesn't seem to be a fan favourite.

bboat11 I just realized, the week after that, Martina fell 4-7 on MB while Taylor moved up 8-5. "Ours" would become Taylor's sixth #1 on country radio, which is one more than Martina has (although I think she has too little, she's come pretty close a lot I think). So in more ways than one, Martina made way for queen Taylor, lol!

Somehow I managed to go that entire period and not hear "Ours" on the radio even once... Lmao it's one where I've always heard the title, but had never heard the actual song until I went out of my way to familiarize myself with it later. IGLYTI definitely seemed like a bigger hit, at least on my stations. Damn ageist politics! Lol

Yeah, Martina is one of those artists who has way fewer #1s than you would expect based on the impact her songs made. I mean, everybody knows "Independence Day", "A Broken Wing", "I'm Gonna Love You Through It", "My Baby Loves Me", "Anyway", "This One's For The Girls", "Concrete Angel", etc., but none of them were #1 hits Some of those are so much more iconic and better remembered than the majority of songs that people like Blake Shelton have taken to #1 repeatedly for the past decade...

She has 11 more top 5 hits (with 3 of them being #2 peakers) Taylor's #1s are: "Our Song", "Should've Said No", "Love Story", "You Belong With Me", "Sparks Fly", "Ours", and "Highway Don't Care" It's really weird to think about Martina only having 5 #1 hits (idk how many hit #1 on MB/R&R though), she seems way bigger than that.

As far as I know she doesn't have any songs that went #1 in other places that didn't go to #1 on Billboard too. (Except for "My Baby Loves Me" and "Still Holding On" being #1s in Canada and "This One's For the Girls" being a #1 on AC). She's just one of those artists who always seemed to consistently get hits that felt like #1s, but hit a wall in the top 5. And very few of her songs ever peaked higher than it felt like they deserved. (Although it IS weird that "Wrong Again" is one of her #1s, because it seems so obscure and forgotten compared to the majority of her other top 10s!) Tbh, 6 #1s feels like way too few for Taylor on country radio too, with how huge she was! With how remembered her songs are, you would think that she had at least twice that!

Taylor also has a lot of songs that got close too, and some of the songs that missed #1 on Billboard were #1 on Mediabase ("Begin Again", "Back to December", "Mine" etc.) and then there is "Mean" which just got unlucky getting stuck for multiple weeks at #2 behind "Honey Bee" which was huge.
