Holy crap, now THIS is an update! Are we def seeing top ten this week, or are Olivia/Lil Uzi going to prevent that? We'll definitely see it the following week, potentially with a track or two from SNTV and maybe even 'Karma'?

Wow crazy how quickly she could rack up two additional #1 singles on CHR. Great momentum going into Midnights single #4

It may have a 1-2 week promo push with MV but a full fledged radio single I highly doubt. And Taylor is proving rn with CS and Karma that she can push two active singles and have success!

Although if she does manage to pull off the #1 with 'Karma' tomorrow then Republic could begin rolling back on their radio promotion for it and switch to something else as the 'second active radio single' next to this.

just because she might be able to get away with launching a second concurrent single doesn't mean she should. the last thing she wants to do is become the weeknd, who despite being one of the biggest artists in the world right now (really not that much less successful then taylor), hasn't had a new single properly smash in OVER TWO YEARS because of how stupidly overexposed he is
yes, die for you has been huge and he's had a couple moderately successful songs that he was featured on, but i'm sure if he had his way he would've liked to have at least one big hit off dawn fm (quite possibly his best album and one it sounds like he put a lot of work into) or his new show that he not only created music for but acts in and was heavily involved in writing
anyways, im not saying taylor is to that level of overexposure but between this AND karma AND antihero being a popular recurrent AND speak now tv's single AND a possible new album coming within the next year or so, trying to throw another single in the mix is a lot of risk for minimal payoff. i like midnights too and there are tracks on there i think were missed single opportunities (coughBEJEWELEDcough), but at this point i'm just happy a third midnights single and cruel summer were both able to get released and do well

Radio ignoring her post lover singles didn't really harm her album performance. She's able to get album tracks to smash without radio. But I agree it would be counterproductive to heavily push a third single from speak now. I imagine that they might push for some radio play for the first week and then leave it at that. Also there's a good chance that the vault song with a music video is a country song. So they might do a light push on country radio through that song won't anywhere.

Do we really think radio is gonna play Enchanted though? They didn't even care that much about Message in a Bottle and I Bet You Think About Me and those were actual new songs. I think the best scenario here is to drop Karma the minute it goes #1 and move on to this as I feel it has the most potential to become a huge hit of all the choices.

Yeah I don't think the Speak Now songs will do much on radio even if pushed. They are all too long for radio. I think her team might do a little push for the fans then going back to promoting Cruel Summer. If she doesn't release another TV, I could imagine her team trying to push Midnight Rain in several months after Cruel Summer has fallen off.

I don't see why we wouldn't get a 4th single from Midnights. I can't see them not trying Midnight Rain or Maroon or possibly even a surprise like Question..?. They'll probably just hold off until September.

Midnights as an era is over in my opinion. Remember the clock hitting midnight in the Karma music video? There is nothing left on the album that is that desperately screaming to be a single, and she risks being overexposed. Push Karma to #1, drop it like a hot potato and then put every resource into Cruel Summer to have it smash all summer long. Speak Now TV can have its own little thing for a week or two, and then in autumn/winter they can focus on the next TV

Speak Now TV can have its own little thing for a week or two, and then in autumn/winter they can focus on the next TV If they want to keep the music coming, I think 2023 would be a good year for a Christmas release. I don't want her to do another studio album TV, at the risk of overexposure. She could release the re-recording of The Holiday Collection, add "Christmas Tree Farm" and a couple of new songs and quietly drop it as a "gift" to the fans during her break from the tour. Still, I think between Midnights, Speak Now (Taylor's Version) & the resurgence of "Cruel Summer", this year is already full. No need to do a lot more. I wouldn't mind a winter single though, once the current ones die down. I would honestly love to see a song from Speak Now getting a push (with a video/short film). If only the album came out in September/October.

Back up to #5 on US Spotify, with Olivia’s song and one Lil Uzi Vert’s song still ahead of it. Ella Baila Solo also managed to get ahead of it again

A monster indeed! I’m loving these updates.
Also. Unless TS11 is coming this fall (not impossible, but very unlikely) there is no reason not to push a 4th and even 5th Midnights single this fall and winter. The Grammys are coming and Midnights will benefit from an active single campaign. Also, so what about a coffee cup scene in a music video. Maybe the coffee cup clock just struck Midnight because it’s from the album Midnights. As Cruel Summer has proven, the era isn’t over until…never.
I think Cruel Summer would set up Maroon PERFECTLY. Midnight Rain, Bejeweled, and Vigilante Shit are also all sitting right there. Midnights has legs and has at least one more smash hit in it.

It’s pretty impossible that she will drop TS11 while on the eras tour, which extends into 2024. Expect TS11 Fall 2024. This tour gives her the perfect reason to drop TVs instead. Also, the clock struck 12 at the end of the Karma video and Cruel Summer is smashing now. Midnights is done, IMO. She’s more likely to release 1989 TV or a Christmas album this year than another Midnights single. Just my opinion.

She is so close to a #1. All she has to do is time it right at this point.

This could be her most streamed song by the end of the tour! And hoping Lover can challenge for top 25/30 of all time on Spotify.

Karma was the only song left I could see big hit potential and they (correctly) went with that.
I say push Cruel Summer and move on after that. Midnights will continue to stream and sell well with or without an active single.

Can we talk about how this is #18 yet has the largest audience outside of the top 10?!? That’s what’s crazy to me

I swear to God TN better be working on vinyls, remixes and a MV for this as we speak (and a possible $.69 discount). It’s performing like a lead single and it shouldn’t be very hard to get it to #1. Lover deserves a #1 single

I don't think a fourth single push from Midnights would be too much for this year or would risk overexposure. The album still has several radio-friendly songs to choose from that could give it a little more juice (I would add Mastermind in addition to the songs already mentioned). Not sooner than late September/early October though, when the full push and likely peak of Cruel Summer will be comfortably over, and I don't see them giving any sustained pushes for songs from Speak Now TV up till that time that would get in the way either.
