What if Taylor pulled a Bad Bunny and got most of her songs to make the YE, that might not happen due to the Christmas Freeze coming right around the corner but it would be cool to see.

While i think it's more likely that Midnights post-album bomb performs closer to SOUR, it pulling an Un Verano Sin Ti sounds fun.

[velaxti]

Has Taylor Swift EVER had a hit album track before? Like one that charted for 10+ weeks? I can't think of any, closest might be I Knew You Were Trouble before it became a single.

Technically, All Too Well counts. I know it got the music video, but Message in a Bottle was the song that got radio promotion and is officially considered the single

Define album track. If it's songs that weren't pushed to radio, All Too Well.

The 1 and Exile charted well but I don't remember how many weeks they lasted.

Wasn't "Exile" (my fave of hers) pushed to a format or two?

[Choco]

I can't recall specifics but I think betty went to country and exile went to AC. I think nobody no crime got a country push too from evermore.

All very modest pushes - like New Year's Eve somehow getting a country radio push.

[jja2389]

I believe Exile was pushed to AAA. AC picked it up later on

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

One Taylor Swift song that wasn't in an album of hers, did get a music video but apparently wasn't sent to radio is Safe & Sound. It managed a total of 17 weeks in the Hot 100 with a #30 peak.

[king_billboard_100]

Taylor’s new album is boring. Unholy crowns 9 weeks in

YoungBoy Never Broke Again - Ma’ I Got A Family

again this guy?? it's like a competition between his babies and mixtapes.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

these 5 songs will probably debut in the top 10

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^^Most of us probably can't recall any of his songs from this year and yet:

Already up to 6 songs. All of them appear further down the chart paired with the 3AM version of the album.

Which song is actually the lead single? I am pretty disappointed overall with the album. There isn't anything special, imo.

Anti-Hero. It's got the vid & I think it's being immediately sent out to radio.

And yeah, on my first listen nothing in particular sticks out to me yet. It sounds good as a whole tho.

Lavender Haze is better than Anti-Hero, in my opinion. Many people must agree with Lavender Haze being #1 on AM.

[Choco]

First track placement matters...

[higilo]

"You're On Your Own, Kid" is my early fave. Good to see it in the top 10

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

[Taylor.]

With 6 hours left to go in ET.

[Choco]

Insane album bomb coming.

[NeRD]

Totally coming for a milli first week at this point.

Drake was the last one to occupy the entire Top 5 on the Hot 100 right?

[jayhawk1117]

Well we already assumed she’d be the first woman to crack 100m day 1. Seems she did that and then some Lmao.

Yes. Only he and The Beatles have done it.

[Ｓｏｕｎｄｃｌ🕤ｃｋ]

Certified Lover Boy scored 155M (80,5M in the US), so it's safe to say there'll be a lot of 10M+ songs tomorrow, which also means a lot of 4-5M+ tracks in the US. It should be noted that Drake is a much bigger AM artist, but if Taylor's numbers hold up, I can see more than 5 debuts in the top 10.

It's still early to tell, Kendrick had insane first-day numbers too, but he debuted with 'only' 4 songs in the top 10. It'd be nice to see a female artist with more than 3 songs in the top 10, even tho I'm not a fan of the album.

This is not combined right?

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^No. For example, the 3AM edition of Lavender Haze is at #22.

Sounds like 200M single day artist streams is not out of the question then (perhaps even likely?). Has anyone even done that?

Will be interesting to see how many songs she can land ahead of Unholy on the Hot 100. Charts aren't especially strong these days...

Yeah, Taylor will cross that mark 100%. She had more than 40M streams yesterday with her old catalog, so yeah...

Bad Bunny had the record with 183,2M streams, Taylor crossed 100M only once (123M).
