Taylor's likely very close to her airplay peak since she's #1 on two formats. There's still plenty of room for growth on AC, but by the time that format catches up, Pop/HAC will be moving on and negating any audience growth at AC.
Fuck the astro-turfed right-wing plant.

I think this early projection is simply clickbait. CS is still tracking behind FC, so it's not like OAM is the one blocking it.
How many sales will CS need to reach 275 points? That seems like the *safe* number.

Well.. I said what I said. Up to TaylorNation it's time for them to do their part. I'm not gonna get too bent out of shape, because I'm doing my part.. I'll keep streaming...

That seems like the *safe* number. 30,000 — I don’t know what her team is waiting on, they’ve closed much bigger point gaps in shorter amounts of time.

I'm starting to think they don't care if it goes #1 or not. Maybe it was just a radio single, and that's it, nothing else.

I’m slightly happy there is no push. This managed to get to #1 on pop radio, #1 on US Spotify and #3 on the Hot 100 with no (visible) push. That speaks to how strong the song is!

Topping the Hot 100, esp with a non lead single, is VERY difficult these days. I’m surprised they are letting the chance go by…

'I'm going to burn Taylor Nation to the ground.' -me, today. I guess there's a chance we get something tomorrow AM or on Lover's actual anniversary, but I fear even saying that puts me on Clownelia Street. But MAN this sucks. Why is it feast or famine? 'Willow' was frankly a little embarrassing; couldn't we have spared some of that energy on this instead of the pendulum swinging SO hard in the other direction?

At this point, I'm probably going to resent her for this. Yeah, I know no one cares, but I do. She's so close, why not do anything? I don't care if she's never been lazy. This time she is. I hate when artists do that, like when Adele could have pushed 21 to be the best selling album of all time in the UK, but didn't do anything. Why, why, why. Irritating as hell.

I can't believe they aren't gonna try. It's the most frustrating thing ever. But it's still a huge hit none the less.

I got it. She's demonstrating to us how it can be a cruel summer by not pushing this song, which is called ironically, 'Cruel Summer'. HER MIND :'(

I would definitely never say Taylor is lazy lmao but I do agree they should try. But I think she has a plan for a 10th #1 or maybe she wants it to go there naturally, and if it doesn't it doesn't. Who knows? She has a plan for everything.

4th week at #1 on CHR tonight. Just two more weeks for her to tie for her longest run at #1

People holding on to that Lover fourth anniversary theory like their life depends on it lol. I hope you guys are right.
But honestly regardless super impressive performance. I'd probably rank it just behind Anti Hero for most pleasing chart run of hers since 1989. Super fun to follow it's path.
Plus the song is A+.

Well, if there isn't a Lover 4th anniversary thing.. then I guess we can just hope she releases Midnight Rain in October.

It’s semi confirmed that Drake is releasing friday. Welp, I’m just going to have to make peace with #3 peak. But I’ll be angry at Taylor for a while… like b**** of all the times to suddenly stop caring and make zero effort for a single. My only thought it that she was dead set on pushing ICSY and is holding a grudge that CS overshadowed it.

My only thought it that she was dead set on pushing ICSY and is holding a grudge that CS overshadowed it. There’s still 4 more days of the tracking week left. If she drops a dance remix, live version, or any alternate version, she’d likely sell at least 50k copies in a day.

The worst part is she isn’t losing out on #1 to good songs.

Topping the Hot 100, esp with a non lead single, is VERY difficult these days. I’m surprised they are letting the chance go by… Hitting #3 on Billboard and #1 on CHR with a song that is FOUR years old and from FOUR albums back (excluding re-releases, which makes it seven albums) is difficult. I think people need to radically adjust expectations and be happy this did ANYTHING. Of course her label could push something, but she’s on a career defining tour and prepping another album. Their focus is elsewhere. It’s time to be grateful this song got anything.
