There have been whispers of a Post collab since the Lover 2019 era. With his profile dropping down a bit from the huge heights he reached then, it makes absolutely 100% sense that he'd be onboard since the track is likely an easy #1 peak.

I wonder who got the idea of Post Malone being on Taylor's album. They share a label, yes, but cannot see their fandoms cross under any circumstances. I mean, I am a huge fan of both so I am excited lol |

Well yeah it could be label's request to add him to raise his profile. What I've read that his contribution is fairly low-key.

They have different styles, yes, but they are both mainstream pop acts (Post definitely more pop than hip-hop, with a lighter sound) who are hugely successful (Post at least until recently) with huge top 40 and adult airplay, the type of artists liked especially by females and also gay men. |

Her label couldn't convince her to stay off TikTok but you think they had a say on the opening track and lead single to the most anticipated album of her career? Could be but sounds far fetched. I personally think Taylor wanted to work with him. |

On the US Spotify chart today the entire top 17 is above 1 million daily streams and there is *zero* album bombs. Damn it’s crazy competitive right now.

Taylor is the biggest singer in the world with a ton of power in the industry. She's already sparce when it comes to having features on her albums and of the ones she's had recently, they're all people she wants to prop up or ones she likes.
If she didn't want Post Malone on her album, she would've just made it so. Whether or not it works, she likely wanted it.

I do not think anyone here believes that Taylor was “forced” to put Post Malone on her album. Just that her label would like it if she did in-order to help Post Malone out who appears to be struggling compared to his past success. (Gotta say putting his last album out same day as Utopia wasn’t the smartest move..) And perhaps she is just okay with it? Like, she’s cool with Post Malone and maybe is even a fan of him, but do we really think she was just specifically dying to make a song with him? I think she could not be FORCED to do it, she’s just willing to help his career.

Maybe or apparently Taylor is secretly running a business ala "Help My Career Back on Top" with Post Malone, where the payment depends on which track the song will be on the album. Who knows.

Based on what is being said here, if any song from the album is going #1 in the opening week then it is “Fortnight” …
I know she’s T-Swift but I sincerely think Drake could take that #1 with “Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50)” given its context and quality, as well as being a high energy banger.
But you guys might be right that he won’t drop this Friday.. I think he should though! 😉

I think the fact a Rick Ross song got that many just shows how massive the Drake would be especially considering how big the Like THat with Kendrick was. Drake really missed out on another #1. Not sure if he can still take it now down the line

All this makes me think of is how I’m On One remains one of the best Drake songs, no question.

If you haven’t already you should check out “Trust Issues” by Drake cuz that’s the whole song that Drake originally had the chorus for. Which itself was originally created by The Weeknd and can be found online. All three great. [EDIT] Allegedly “I’m On One” really was made first, then Drake made “Trust Issues” riffing on it, then The Weeknd covered “Trust Issues.” … I do not know that I personally believe that but that is what the internet alleges. |

Dang, Drake really didn't drop it... Guess it really is gonna be near two whole weeks between it coming out on the internet and getting an official streaming release - and that's if it even does on 04/26.

What's Drake suppossed to drop? A single? An album?
He knows better than to go against T Swift in 2024; maybe when her hype dies down a bit in a few years lol. He wants the #1 and he knows timing is very important.

I'm not familiar with his recent feud or whatever, other than knowing the recent Metro Boomin project contains some sort of diss to him. Apologies if it came off as some sort of shade. |

I'm not familiar with his recent feud or whatever, other than knowing the recent Metro Boomin project contains some sort of diss to him. Apologies if ti came off as some sort of shade. I'm just overly sensitive. But basically I earlier stated that based on people's discussion that this album's most likely highest earner is the first track "Fortnight" and it doesn't seem like it is necessarily guaranteed to be an especially huge smash. Just like an album bomb related #1. But I was making the case that if any artist can come out and take the #1 spot from her it'd be Drake and Drake happens to be in a situation where he made this song "Push Ups (Drop & Give Me 50)" and it is online but it is not officially released yet and it is a major response track to "Like That" someone linked the lyric video for it earlier here. But given the success of Like That with it being a massive major number 1 for three weeks in a row, and this song responding to that by Drake and the song happens to be a high energy banger type of thing. I just figured that if he wanted to be ballsy and take a daring chance he could have put that track out officially today and let it go against the Taylor Swift album and maybe he could make it happen. Or could've, but clearly he is not going to take the chance and I guess it won't be until 04/26. If that.

Oh. Taylor Swift got automatic #1s with "Is It Over Now?", "willow", "All Too Well" and "cardigan" and none of them got physical singles or radio support on week 1 like "Fortnight" is about too. If Drake couldn't beat "Anti-Hero" I wouldn't expect him to easily beat Taylor right now either. He's wise to skip this week.
Taylor Swift will not do this forever and someday her lead is not gonna be a lock for #1 debut. But that decline is not here yet.

Taylor Swift will not do this forever and someday her lead is not gonna be a lock for #1 debut. But that decline is not here yet. All due respect, I am not talking about Drake dropping some random track. The context of this song matters a lot. "Like That" is a FIRE song but there's more reason to it being at #1 for three weeks than that. So that Drake not beating "Anti-Hero" example is just not the same thing, and I never said anything about him easily managing to do it. I just thought there was a possibility. I admit it would have been risky, but this is not just some random Drake song so I'm not out here ranting about him possibly getting number 1 just because he is Drake or something.
