Alright. This did what it had to do. Release Down Bad/So High School/My Boy with a killer music video and vinyls.

[balletgirlmom]

If they put out a mix-up/mashup of Down Bad/So High School/My Boy with a video and actually sold it, it could be Taylor's 13th number one on the Billboard Hot 100.  Who knows, maybe they have plans to do something?  It would just be nice to wrap up TTPD with the Anthology and another official BB Hot 100 #1!

Back in the top 10. The gap between #10 and #12 is 28 spins, so things can and probably will fluctuate day by day. The #9, "Good Luck, Babe!" is also only 128 spins ahead. It also looks like a push for #1 on HAC is underway? Only 55 spins from #1, it might get there tomorrow.

Thank god for the tour because aside from that this Poets era has been so boring lmao. Even the chart run of this is boring, much like Fortnight couldn't really pick whether it was gonna smash or finally die for like the last 30% of it's run on radio.

[balletgirlmom]

The chart run has been a bit frustrating, but we still hear this in the mainstream all the time.  It is a face for her album, and it works that way.  I wonder if she will do anything in conjunction with the Black Friday Anthology release.  Yes, we know THAT will sell crazy numbers of albums, but it would be fun for her to push another track or compilation, just to get a new hit of some sort. Taylor sure knows how to market, so you never know.  

[Juanca]

I like the production and the verses but I hate the chorus sorry but the melody sounds like a nursery rhyme to me. I like Fortnight, My Boy and So High School much more…

We’re seeing exactly what happens when the most popular artist on the planet releases something that isn’t very chart friendly. CHR especially doesn’t know if they should just play them because it’s Taylor freakin Swift, or drop them because they wouldn’t be playing these songs if it was literally anyone else right now.

[👑 Eloquent ™]

This was never gonna be the era for pop radio girlies (and I think most everyone knew that when they first heard the album). lol This was an era personal for Taylor herself and for the fans who love her/the lore. I really see it as her, albeit much more successful, My December. It just so happened it successfully reached beyond its target audience (in terms of album performance). Besides she literally just gave the pop girlies Midnights and a row of bigger hits and she'll be back again to deliver another high-octane, radio-driven album again, if not for TS12. I don't mind a more muted era every now and then. She certainly doesn't need huge era after huge era culturally, especially when a lot of people are tired of seeing/hearing about her all the time and overexposure is always posing a threat. That's in part why I think she released this album (other than personally needing to) and has handled it the way she has (barely any appearances, keeping a low-profile, even staying backstage for most of the VMAs not to be featured on camera etc).

[ificanthaveyou]

I REALLY want Taylor to have one more era of massive pop hits. Midnights fell short IMO and was overshadowed by Cruel Summer.

I want her to come for the MJ/Katy record of 5 #1s from an album.

[👑 Eloquent ™]

The way people covet single success as the "be all end all" these days is crazy to me. Over album success (even when the album is monstrously successful). Over touring. Over like...any and literally every and any accomplishment. "Cruel Summer" overshadowing a 7x platinum album with its own succession of hits (including her longest-running #1) is a wild statement and is vastly undermining the success of said era. "Cruel Summer" overshadowed "Anti-Hero", but not Midnights as a collective. No single could trump a near diamond album in my opinion. People idolize single success to the point you can have a what will surely be 7x platinum album (especially when the 2nd half is released) like Tortured Poets that some will still call a "disappointment" or "bore" only because it didn't have a huge #1 single to track. lol This new obsession with needing every song to be #1 or it's a bust or every album to produce multiple commercial anthems or it's a bust is so tiring. It will always be much easier to obtain a hugely successful single than a hugely successful album or era, yet some people will still treat it as if it were the inverse. Having a #1 hit is special no doubt, but do people have any idea the real prowess it takes to shift millions upon millions of albums, especially in this climate? Apparently not. How many #1 songs did we have this year compared to albums that sold over 2 million copies SPS? This laser focus on single performance being the only "true" measure of success is ridiculous and is diminishing the era as a whole. Did people forget artists want a successful single to boost its parent album? That's the whole point? Before long "eras" and albums will be dead and people's attention spans will be so dwindled that all artists will be releasing are stand alone singles. lol

I think her strategy with future studio albums should be to release one single before her album.  That way she'd get a solid likely #1 BB Hot 100 hit out of the box.  At her album drop week she'd likely get the whole Top 10 of the BB Hot 100 but hopefully a different song to enter at #1.  By using this old strategy she'd likely have 2 Hot 100 #1s and then they could see what song or songs her fans stream most and are most popular with her fans.  When there is no lead single, the whole album charts the same week, and it is hard for songs to ever re-peak.

Nah; do like Sabrina did; two pre-album singles (and with her power, Taylor should be able to do what Sabrina couldn't and get both to #1, and then when the album drops funnel everything into whatever resonates best with fans to lock down a third #1 on release week. Chances are nothing else will be able to get to #1 further down the road post-album release, but if anyone could pull off three #1's in the streaming age with any degree of certainty Taylor could.

Chances are nothing else will be able to get to #1 further down the road post-album release, but if anyone could pull off three #1's in the streaming age with any degree of certainty Taylor could.

The reason Taylor opens so huge is that she releases the whole album at once and people are curious to listen to it right away. Releasing two songs prior to the album would hurt the opening streams remarkably and she wouldn't be able to top her own streaming records which I think is always the goal for her.

I think the next album will again have 20+ tracks and it will come out at once.

[Az Paynter]

As if people are gonna skip out on checking a full Taylor album due to a couple of pre-release tracks. That's a lame duck excuse IMO, with her ability to leverage ridiculous amounts of product sales, surely she can sacrifice some week 1 album streams for a commercial era that even catches a whiff of 1989-era Hot 100 dominance.

[Choco]

Yeah; just look at 1989 TV. It still did amazingly even with Wildest Dreams and This Love being out well before.

[Enigma.]

But those weren't new songs, hence they charted only at #19 and #42 on Hot 100. She could never (most likely) top the Hot 100 with an old TV track, although crazier things has happened I suppose.

[Choco]

But assuming we're getting another 30 ish tracks, she can still command record numbers with the 28 new ones lol. She didn't even need that many songs in the past to smash. And the fact that old re-recorded songs still made #19 and #42 that week kinda proves newer material would do even better.

The only reason she hasn't been getting multiple #1 hits per project these days is, honestly, that she hasn't even tried that hard lol. Closest attempt was "Karma" but the competition was strong and the remix literally made the song worse and was widely disliked by the fanbase. If you drop Anti Hero two weeks before the album then push Lavender Haze on opening week she easily gets two #1 hits, although I can't really predict what would have happened after that (presumably Lavender Haze drops to more or less the same numbers it did post album release while Anti-Hero goes back up to #1 for a few weeks?).

[Enigma.]

Yeah, I am just thinking that she wouldn't go that far and release several songs beforehand and be a subject to criticism of them not being good enough or sth. She would never put the hype in danger.

Yeah in hindsight the only era where I feel like that type of pre-album releases would have worked would have been Midnights. Folklore/Evermore just weren't designed to have many radio hits, and Tortured Poets would have definitely burned a lot of hype. As for the TVs so far none have been designed to be very long eras. Radio kinda forced her hand with "Is It Over Now?" and even then that era got no videos.

[balletgirlmom]

For her Reputation TV release, it would be nice if there was one vault song or any of them, SHE felt, or her label felt could be a hit. Sort of like Is It Over Now.  It would be nice to see her get an easy (for her) #1.

With a new album, I still say releasing just one song early to get an easy #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 would be great, followed by her BOMB week, where she'd hopefully get a second song to #1.  TWO number ones off one new album would be a nice goal.

At one point, weeks ago, I thought I Can Do It with A Broken Heart would re-peak.  Obviously, it will not, but at least it has hung on.  Next week is #29 so not bad!
