base talk Will a Taylor album ever debut with 100M streams on Spotify?

[Carrie-is-no-1]

We need 20-25 tracks for 1989 TV. Maybe adding another 4 vault tracks ft. Indie/country artists and 2 remixes: bad blood ft. Drake, style ft. styles

[Devin]

Doubt anyone will surpass Drake or Benito. She is one of the female artists I could see hitting 100M tho.

[ariananext]

This record is just a competition of who releases a longer album, there's no way an album with 10-15 tracks can make it. Harry is the only one maybe.

Not to discredit any album getting over 100 million streams in a day, cause that will always be much, but the amount of Spotify users has grown about 20% each year the last couple of years. If that trend continues, it's becoming more and more likely for artists to break the 100 million mark (or any other previously set record, for that matter). Getting 100 million streams in 24h in 2019 would be 'more impressive' than it is now, for example.

 

I already think she's big enough now to do it, tho 

This, I fear the current records will be nothing in 5-10 years. 

[brazil]

Could be when is she planning on releasing 1989 TV?

[WildHeart]

Folklore did 80M in 2020 so i can see her next album (TS10) doing 100 million with same amount of(or even less) songs. 

 

1989 TV will probably break the record before TS10 tho

This alone is enough proof that 1989 TV will do it, idk why people think it won’t 

 

she IS the biggest female artist of all time methinks

But will the trend continue? Streaming probably reached their maximum capacity in most markets so it won't keep growing that fast and it will slow down at some point. 

 

That's the prediction for next few years, 

2026	959	695.3
2025	913.2	694.1
2024	857.6	691.5
2023	791.9	686.7
2022	717	680.1
2021	635.8	674.2
2020	552.8	670.6
2019	433	609.6
2018	368.4	606

1989 will probably do it, and TS10 is likely to do it again.

 

folklore did 80 million with 16 tracks two years ago, and she’s grown immensely in streaming and popularity since then.

[wastedpotential]

Are the people in this thread forgetting that she came really close like six months ago, and in the mean time has only gotten more popular? Assuming 1989 TV is the 16 original songs + Sweeter Than Fiction + 6-10 vault tracks, I think it's highly likely that she will. I also think that Blank Space alone will debut over 10M streams given the insane popularity the original is having right now. 

[xfreshkidxx]

1989 could or her next album for sure. Folklore did 80.6M. It depends on the material. 

Edited May 7, 2022 by xfreshkidxx
Red did 91M.. so yeah, her next album definitely doing it.

[Mr. Duff]

Yes she can definitely. Red TV made 90M so it is doable.

[UnusualBoy]

She might but it will depend on the playlisting and the tracklist length.

It might slow down, but it'll at least keep rising for quite some time, I think. Especially when they keep releasing their service in new countries

[saintspice]

i see 1989 doing it if she doesn’t pre release too many songs. also reputation will debut with 200m so we don’t have to worry either way

Exactly, like how selling 300k pure singles or albums in a week was the norm back 2010 for big artists but doing it now is impossible. 

 

If "tHe mUSiC iNDuStRy" can't after releasing 4 projects and countless singles in the last 2 years then

Imagine saying Taylor releasing 'COUNTLESS' singles . If you can't count a few singles, you should probably go back to school.

Yes, soon enough. She's a monster.

According to Wiki, she has released 18 singles since 2020. that's more than a few

That list includes promo singles. Of the "18 singles", only 10 actually got a radio release, and only 5 got released to pop radio, which is by far Taylor's biggest format (The Man, Cardigan, Willow, Message In A Bottle, and The Joker and the Queen). 5 is still probably more than a few, but if you can't count to 5 then you should still go back to school. 

[Ribs]

She came really close with a re-recording, she will obliterate 100M
