TS coming to literally save the industry, we stan legends. You mean after her previous lead single dropped 5-20 on Radio Songs and broke the record for biggest fall from the top 5 in the chart’s history? You've seen what happens when she puts out a very radio-friendly single like "Delicate", right? She's technically coming off of a sleeper hit. |

oldbloke:
Some good news - after 5 weeks without updates kworb have digital sales estimates for week 14 (week ended April 11) on their site.
They have "Old Town Road" at #1 with an estimated 141,000 downloads. If the official number is anywhere close, it will be the highest weekly total since the multi-version "Perfect" topped the list in the final week of 2017.

Old town road might have a lock for the next three weeks at No. 1 until Taylor's new release.

Taylor Swift has been charting for basically a decade and a half. There was a little dip in singles performance last album. Not saying it will happen this time but at some point - Taylor Swift releases a single = #1 debut(Or #1 at all for that matter) is not necessarily a sure thing

It's hard to not see Taylor debuting at #1. She's non-problematic; the only people who don't like her are the Tennessee hicks

Even if it's not a crowd pleaser like LWYMMD, we have seen what the fanbase is capable of doing. Now that she's with Republic, embracing streaming, without drama in the tabloids and coming with a softer more likable persona, I just can't see her lead single not doing exceptionally well unless it's crap. |

Like LWYMMD? Jokes aside I think you're right. People are forgetting that time when her accidental release of "Track 3" aka 8 seconds of white noise went to #1 on iTunes. |

Delicate was a multiformat smash and one of the biggest TS songs on radio ever. |

In the history of #1 debuts, Taylor Swift has only done it once "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" debuted at #72 with 2 days of airplay and then jumped to #1. "Shake It Off" debuted at #1. "Look What You Made Me Do" debuted at #77 with 3 days of airplay and then jumped to #1. Obviously, she hasn't had 3 #1 debuts because radio played them so much that they entered the chart solely based on airplay. |
