Because of her immense number of songs in the Top 30/40, I guess this will go recurrent. Does anyone know? It's projected to land somewhere from 43-46 I think, it was #13 last week so it'll be safe. If her album is stable though, that's a different story. |

Slightly off-topic but tangentially related - anyone here an expert at how the Spotify "recommended" algorithm works?
The first 2ish days after TTPD was released, whenever I got to the end of the album, Spotify would start playing August as my next recommended song. I didn't think anything of it, as I love the song, have played it many times on Spotify, and have it marked as "Liked". But what I found interesting was that August received a larger than normal boost on the overall US Spotify numbers that came out on Saturday. It usually only gets a boost that big the end of July/first week of August. Which made me wonder if everyone listening to TTPD automatically got August played as the first listen after finishing the album.
On the 3rd day, whenever I finished the album, it started playing Is It Over Now? Every single time I finished TTPD, it would start playing.
Now, since the 4th day of release, it starts playing Cruel Summer as the first song, followed by Sabrina Carpenter's Espresso. The 3rd song has a bit more variety (sometimes Too Sweet, sometimes Greedy, sometimes something random). But it's been pretty consistent. TTPD -> CS -> E since Tuesday for me.
Is this something Taylor's label can influence? Is it happening for everyone or just me? If it is something they can tweak, I could see it being an insurance policy to try to save CS from her own album bomb.

I seriously thought I was joking when I said this too  It’s the fact you threw out that “30+” number specifically… what other insider secrets can we get outta you 👀 |

If it is something they can tweak, I could see it being an insurance policy to try to save CS from her own album bomb. I was getting "Houdini" for the first maybe 3 days after each play of the album. I think that song is one of my most played current (2023-24) songs of the last few months, so that makes sense. I think since Monday I've gotten "Espresso" each time after the album is finished, which is odd because I don't stream that song nor do I really ever stream Sabrina's music. It's odd that I haven't gotten any Taylor songs immediately after yet considering she's my most streamed artist ever. What I got after just skipping after "The Manuscript": Espresso Fortnight Good Luck, Babe!

If it is something they can tweak, I could see it being an insurance policy to try to save CS from her own album bomb. spotify paid autoplay was a feature that was released right before flower's release and flower was the first major release to use it. good chance expresso is getting boosted on autoplay since her label paid for nonsense to get that treatment. boosts in autoplay so far have only been happening to new,promoted singles for a few weeks to a few months but not indefinitely there is no way taylor's label is paying for august, cruel summer, is it over now when they fortnight have the currently being promoted single. unlikely that they will use the feature since it reduces payouts to taylor for the songs stream. so that pattern is likely just due to their reccomendation alogrthmin. |

Not easy!~ I really wish they’d throw out the CS (Eras Tour) performance as the MV so it could pick up streams from YouTube. One of the biggest singles of her career and easily one that will have longevity, would be nice to see them promote it again this summer. |

Projected to bounce back up to #28 [+13].
Despite its loss in overall points, there are 7 TTPD songs immediately ahead of it that CS is likely pass shortly:
22. Guilty as Sin (-47%)
21. The Tortured Poets Department (-59%)
20. Florida!!! (-53%)
18. But Daddy I Love Him (-55%)
15. My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys (-55%)
14. So Long, London (-55%)
13. Who's Afraid of Little Old Me? (-49%)
Additionally, we have Texas Old 'Em sitting at #20 but freefalling on radio, so there's always a chance it can pull ahead.
CS just needs to pull ahead of 3 of these to stay on the chart a bit longer. I also anticipate some of the TTPD streaming will slowly be reabsorbed by CS which will help quite a bit.

The fact that this song is still not recurrent on the Hot 100 after nearly an entire calendar year as a single…that’s baffling. We’re looking at a historic hit; and a song that for future generations will be the signature song from TS—something even more recognizable to Gen Alpha onwards than the likes of “Blank Space,” “Love Story,” “All Too Well,” etc.

Amazingly, it is predicted to land at #23 on the Billboard Hot 100 in week #53.
53 Weeks is so impressive, especially with all her new stuff AND allllllllllllllllllll the other new stuff on the Hot 100.

What a stable smash this is. Songs left and right are losing over 100k+ streams (the big ones losing over 1 million) over the weekend, and yet Cruel Summer jumps 23 spots with a gain of 65k.

This is never getting out of recurrency on pop radio, for the record. As per Billboard's (arbitrary) rules - that it can't even seem to follow even in the two cases that set the current precendent - this would need to return to its peak in order to be returned to current status, and there is no path I see for this to return to #1 on radio.

Is this considered bigger than Shake It Off yet? Technically no, but it's getting close. The sus change to the multiplier impacted this and Anti-Hero quite a bit. This will be about 12k points away from Shake It Off after tomorrow's charts are published. If it can survive 3 more weeks in the top 25 (aka get to week 56), it should finally surpass Shake It Off, shenanigans and all. |

But no way to know at this point. |
