Yikes, garbage aka Thunder won. Talent lost. Surprised?

 

Hope Taylor, Cardi or Post snatch the #1 from that song again  

Why was half of the "Camila/Fallon" thread draggin' the performance?  

Fallon usually have a tragic promo effect but this is surprisingly good. She clearly made an impression that exceeded expectations.

Happy for IM, but Believer >>>>>>> Thunder!!!!   Perfect really coming for the #1 spot

The song just screams smash and is slaying pop radio.

Anyway, Taylor is fighting.

Taylor is #1 again, wow. They're all so close.

Wonder where taylor would be without the discount though?

 

she's dropped to #13 in the UK. Maybe they should try a discount there & everywhere else its plummeted.

 

In other news: Ed sheerans lead in Kworbs artist ranking is astonishing(I never usually notice)

1. Ed sheeran 5092 points

2. Taylor swift 2653

YAS TAYLOR snatch the #1 from that uglee song 

Not Taylor losing #1 with a discount. Truly no popstar is immune to underperforming/flopping.

If 3 weeks at #1 is flopping/underperforming I want Alessia Cara to FLOP HARD.

Has a commercial ever had an effect like this before? Thunder is just exploding on iTunes 

I guess Marian Hill's Down had a similar boost when it was used in an Apple commercial last year

We Are Young was 10x bigger in commercial effect

Back in the day Apple commercials would shoot songs straight into the t10

It's underperforming given the circumstances. Of course, if it was Alessia, Meghan, Ariana, Miley or Gaga it would be seen as great success. However, if LWYMMD was Adele's song, 90% of ATRL would be saying she's over and a flop by now.

 

Taylor is coming back from the 1989, which is, by her own fans words, the second/third biggest era this decade. She could have released a track of her singing "Happy Birthday" and it would have hit #1 regardless. What I mean is that she was 100% going to smash during the first weeks, no matter what she released, because the hype and success from her brand and the 1989 era were enough to secure a smash first week.

 

  LWYMMD is only comparable to Born This Way and Hello, because those were the only eras that matched /surpassed 1989 success. And even Born This Way, a song that did underperform, managed to spent 6 weeks at #1 before dropping like a rock. Hello was, however, a legitimate smash hit.

 

So,  even if the song was 3 weeks at #1, it is underperforming, because the song isn't even being  blocked by a huge monster like Despacito. It has been dethroned by one of the weakest #1 of the year. And a month after release, the song is #2 on itunes WITH A DISCOUNT, when according to swifties, Taylor is the queen of digital sales and she doesn't need cheap gimmicks to outsell everybody but Adele. The song is also underperforming on radio, even when it's slowly increasing. SIO, BS and BB had 160+ million airplay audience  by their fifth week of release, while LWYMMD has  barely 114  million.

 

The song is dropping hard in youtube views, and even harder on spotify. It's  out of the top 10 already, and it is being outstreamed by Demi Lovato's 3 month old song. Furthermore,  the song isn't top 10 on spotify in any big market, except the UK, and is not #1 on iTunes in any country anymore.

 

Conclusion: The song is underperforming. It's not flopping á la CTTR or PI, but the success it had so far can be attributed to the comeback hype and her strong fanbase. And I'm 100% certain it won't serve any kind of longevity.

Happy to read that =)

 

Also a fun fact that I just caught: There's no one single big  market (US, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Netherlands, Mexico, Brazil, Ireland, Itay, New Zealand, Sweden)  where LWYMMD is top 10 in both iTunes and Spotify.

Other pop girls wish they can peak with Taylor's underperforming single

Every pop girl has their peak, underperforming, and flop eras at different times. In 2019/2020, another girl will be having her smash era and Taylor will PROBABLY wish to have half of her success. That's how industry has worked for everyone who is not The Beatles/ Madonna and maybe Rihanna.

 

Of course, Taylor can be the exception to the rule, but who knows. Time is the ultimate truth teller.
