If she wins her first ever SOTY for “All Too Well” tonight, it’ll be her lucky 13th Grammy. The fates are saying some huge things

So happy she already won something for ATW10 <3

Hopefully i'll wake up to some good news. If not, there's always next year or the year after

[cjay]

Wish ATW had won SOTY. Nevertheless, music video Grammy was nice. And TS looked amazing! Can’t wait for her to win AOTY next year.

Agreed! While SOTY woulda been perfection, this was literally a TV year and she still came out with a VOTY at the VMAs and the Grammys. Some people spend their entire careers without either of those accolades and Taylor did it with a re-release. Anti-Hero and Midnights have a good awards season ahead of them as long as Taylor continues to promote.

I need these as vault tracks on Reputation!!

[taylor]

^^ I NEED those two songs immediately.

[munx]

Little trip down memory lane
And now they have two of the biggest songs of the last 2 years!

I couldn’t agree with this tweet more

Anyone have all the weekly US numbers for midnights since the release?

Not sure about US Spotify but it's been pretty much stable for the last five to six weeks at 110m-100m on Spotify Global

I want her to attend the Brits again this year. I know she’s not gonna perform but I still wanna see her there. She has two nominations this year and she has a fair chance for both.

Midnights US Chart Run: 1 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 1 - 1 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 2 - 3 - 2 -

SPS Units Breakdown:

Week 1 - (#1) - 1,578,000
Week 2 - (#1) - 342,000
Week 3 - (#2) - 299,000
Week 4 - (#1) - 204,000
Week 5 - (#1) - 177,000
Week 6 - (#1) - 151,000
Week 7 - (#2) - 143,000
Week 8 - (#2) - 139,000
Week 9 - (#2) - 155,000
Week 10 - (#2) - 106,000
Week 11 - (#2) - 117,000
Week 12 - (#2) - 81,000
Week 13 - (#2) - 73,000
Week 14 - (#2) - 67,000
Week 15 - (#3) - 68,000
Week 16 - (#2) - 62,000

kind of ironic that after declining for a couple weeks, Midnights gained in the latest tracking week (albeit only 1k units) but fell to #3 for the first time -- due to the No. 1 debut from TxT. predicted to rebound to #2 this week, though SZA's got a lead of over 30k units.

[Forever Winter]

It's kinda crazy that 1989 is #20 on Spotify Top Albums.

I know it technically doesn't count but it's #16 with the re-recordings of WD/This Love

if I recall correctly 1989 only did 15 (consecutive from release) weeks in the top-3? 

[ificanthaveyou]

Some of those 120k weeks at #2 sting when sometimes #1 is barely 70-80k

SZA hasn’t been below 90k so I’m not sure what you’re talking about.

In previous years 🙄 don’t be brand new

[AvaBrooke™]

SZA's streaming strong and she has good timing. No one big is really releasing anything (not much competition). Accumulating weeks there is a timing game for sure and the timing happened to fall in her favor. Good for her!

Meanwhile Midnights is nearing 4 million SPS (nearly 3.8 with this week's projection) domestically. It could hit 5 million in the long run. Who would have seen THAT figure coming pre-release? Not I for one. lol

[Forever Winter]

Isn't 5 million basically a given by the end of the year? That's 26k SPS weekly average.

I don't see any scenario where that doesn't happen tbh

[Rhythm Nation]

Yeah, especially with the tour coming up.

How many albums have passed 5m SPS in recent years?

Scorpion, Beerbongs & Bentleys, WWAFAS, WDWG?, Divide and Dangerous come to mind. I believe Hollywood Bleedings, and reputation should be close too.

Un Verano Sin Ti and Midnights will join the list before the end of the year and Lover needs around 500k

I made a list this summer of albums over 5 million in the SPS era and I think there were only a dozen or so. Post Malone has 3, Drake has 2. For some reason I can't get a good grasp on 'Reputation' but that and '1989' should both be over 5.

Billie and Morgan Wallen are the most recent examples, while Bad Bunny, 'Sour' while join this year, too. 'Lover' and 'Midnights' will both hit that mark this year, making Taylor the only artist of the SPS era with 4 albums over 5 mil ('Folklore' will only need another year to get there, too).

This might be a stupid question, but are the booklets all the same inside Midnights CDs? I’m curious because I’m going to buy a hard copy, just not sure which cover I want. I may go with the green one.

The booklets are all the same, except for the pages at the very middle where they put the staples in. There’s a different photo at that point for each of the four editions.
