I like Taylor Swift and Panic! at the Disco, but LOL that bridge is traaaash

So is the one for “SIO” but it was still a huge hit.

[chanman]

The Me! song is a #1 smash.

This week will be gearing up at being the strongest top 2 we've had in while.

I thought it did! And I checked it today precisely because of "Me!" but if she did have that credit, it's not there anymore.

I can't help but find it amusing how ''Reputation'' and ''Everything is Love'' eras have shook Taylor and Beyonce to their core. Taylor is now releasing Disney music, while Beyonce is acting like an instagram baddie.

13 million plus in 2 hours. Well ummm at least BTS held the record for a week or 2

Technically it's 13m in 3 hours... go by East Coast time.

I'm not even sure if it can break youtube record or whatever. But there's a chance it can catch up with people who don't stay up at night after a few hours so it can reach 100m in one day... But I care more about sales at this point. 

It was only able to garner 27m views in 14 hours... Probably not gonna break youtube record. In this area it's not gonna outshine LWYMMD or even thank u, next (43m+ views in first day).
TS's still a hardcore salesperson, tho, it's so hardcore that's it's almost baffling.
Now I see it has 45:1 lead over #10 song on iTunes right now. Hello's biggest lead over #10 song on iTunes was about 22:1.
So read into that if you will.

It's normal for pop stars to course correct/regress after polarizing eras.

See also:

• Kelly Clarkson going back to bubbly pop for All I Ever Wanted after My December relatively tanked. (Got her a second #1 hit!)
  
• Britney going way more generic and safe with Circus after Blackout.
• Rihanna getting three #1 hits from LOUD and a fourth single in the top 10 after Rated R underperformed (Biggest hit that era? The most poppy track there a.k.a. "Rude Boy").
• Most people don't actually want Lady Gaga to carry on with the Joanne theme because it'll mean diminishing returns for her chart-wise.

[Deleted]

Can't believe ME! can't even beat thank u, next's first day on YouTube.

Then why won't it just fall off iTunes chart also and give OT Road the reign back? But it just had to break a sales lead record.

Feels messy and cattywampus.

[jtd Thee Stallion]

Some people are so damn dense

[irice22]

It's been stuck at 27 mil for quite some time. Wouldn't count anything out yet.

[Lux ◢ ◤]

You know someone is in a league of their own when it's disappointing that she "can't even" beat a Streaming record

This is the most unnecessary critique of these two women but ok

A good mix of Joanne + A Star is Born sound is exactly what people want from Gaga. 

Returning to DJ White Shadow's nonsensical, electropop/eurodance trash, on the other hand, is guaranteed diminishing returns.

It’s not breaking a record doesn’t mean it’s not a huge release

Also OMG you’re literally the only person that cares about iTunes Charts at this point Tay could sell 5,000/day and be #1 tbh

[Naos]

I don't see why the iTunes chart doesn't matter. Sales play a big part in success on the charts still.

It's not that it doesn't matter at all, it's just that it matters far less than Mr. Brightside's been portraying it. Like, around the time when Hello was #1, the 2015 formula divided sales by 12 and they typically composed 30-40% of points. Now, the formula has them divided by only 6, and yet said point composure is more like 10-15% depending on the week. It can give songs the edge they need to secure a lead, but it's not the driving force for hits by a long shot. It says a lot when a #2 debut on Digital Songs (Blue on Black, 33k sales, much more dominant on that metric than the 3.7m streams it accrued giving it a no-show on Streaming Songs) could only get the song to #66 on the Hot 100. The kicker? Those meager streams account for about 1/3 of the song's chart points by my estimates.

The funniest thing is that this is after a week where we'll possibly have the weakest #2 of the streaming era (Wow. or Sunflower: ~27k points).

Mr Brightside also implied some sort of cheat/mess and compared two very separate metrics. First off, the 24-hr record is global. Secondly, sales are weakening week after week, so it is easier for a big release to break this “lead” record (I don’t even know who tracks it other than this forum), whereas YouTube views are rapidly increasing with more and more people starting to use it (especially globally) so it makes sense a Kpop boyband has the record now. Messy comment overall

[Gary]

Hypothetical example on the digital sales thing.


If Me! Or Old Town Road or whomever is #1 sells 1000 copies and no one else moves more than 20 then that is a 50-1 lead and hence the biggest sales week in digital history.

The lead over #2 or #10 obviously most of us know, doesn’t tell the whole story.

[Deleted]

I can’t believe everyone is ignoring the REAL #1 contender that is Bon Appetit by Katy Perry.

[iHype.]

What’s surprising to me is that Taylor still isn’t #1 on Apple Music. The song has every single banner on the main page (5 banners), is at the front and center of the New Music section, and her playlists are getting promotion too.

Smash
After the spam in youtube, they should spam spotify and the radio stations which in 2017 refused to play the song

OK no but I don't understand what's happening with this song.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

ME! and Bon Appetit most watched videos rn. Lol

Taylor ain't really a streaming force. They can try and push all they want but it's never gonna do, say, Ariana's numbers there.

(The song is also radio bait but I'm fairly sure streaming won't be so kind to it).

[Au$tin]

I'm certain it'll be huge on Spotify. Apple Music's demographics don't seem to be as invested in Taylor's music.
