base talk Predict: Will Blank Space (TV) go #1?

[Beyonnaise]

As 1989 TV seemingly approaches, that means the return of modern pop classic Blank Spacesus to the charts.

 

For an artist with many hits, Blank Space is the biggest. It was her longest running Hot 100 #1 at seven weeks. The GP can’t get enough of it, it consistently outstreams almost every (or every?) other song from 2014-15, it’s the undeniable favorite Taylor Swift song of a lot of casual fans, specifically men. Assuming the album comes out soon, could it repeak #1 on the Hot 100?

[hector.adriel]

I genuinely think SOMETHING from 1989 will hit #1.

 

Personally I hope it’s the criminally underrated and #1 that got away “All You Had To Do Was Stay”, but I’ll be happy with any 1989 song going #1.

[Blank]

Maybe if it’s the focus, but I’m hoping for Stylsus, as a casual fan 

[tili33]

are we out of the woods?

She should release a vault track with big promo a month before, and then promote Blank Space on album release. If she really wanted she could snatch 2 (quick little) #1 singles

[Hot Volcano]

No

 

All Too Well went #1 cuz it was unknown outside the fandom and she released a high budget music video (basically a short film) that was highly promoted and went viral on all over social medias. The nerve to think one of her biggest smash hits will easily go back to #1 like this x100

[Hunter_13]

Nah I think she'll push a vault track or one the more popular album cuts like she said on Seth Meyers.

Yeah, and I think this is the right call.

[Yog]

Why not New Romantics is better than that overrated track 

[Fruity]

Style would definitely be the correct single for a #1 push.

[Ms. Togekiss]

No, but I would be very glad if she proved me wrong 

[diamondsky]

ATW10 made us cocky  Let's hope for a top ten, maybe top five for the focus single (hopefully Style)

[Jynx]

No, it already went #1  She should try and push Wildest Dreams/Style/Clean to number 1.

[Jynx672]

No we want another song to be a single.

I would LIVE if Wildest Dreams went #1. Truly deserved 

[wastedpotential]

On one hand, it already went #1 so maybe she should let some other song have their moment in the sun. On the other hand, as far as I can tell only one song in history (The Twist by Chubby Checker) has ever gone #1 on 2 different runs up the chart, first in 1960 and then in 1962, and that would be a ******* insane record for Blank Space, so I'd live if it happened. Not to mention it's CASUALLY doing 1M streams per day and is the second track on the album. 

[favorite crime]

No lol. It will go #1 on US Spotify if there are no major releases around but that's it. ATW (10MV) was basically a brand new song for the GP and thee most long awaited song for fans in Taylors career. 

 

Only from the vault tracks might have a chance at going #1 on BB

[enchanted0]

No

[By the Water]

It's not like she will do anything special for it 

[aesthetic bih]

I'll play safe and say no, but maybe one of the vault tracks (given she promotes it) could do it.

This. That’s not how any of this works  She’s not going to go on a full-fledged promo campaign for a song that was already a major hit less than a decade ago. With ATW it made sense because it was able to reach people who hadn’t heard the original.

[Gerardo]

Doubt it, I’d say a vault track or a non single from the OG would be more likely 

[terrorblade]

no

but New Romantics will

[Goaty]

I don't think so. It would need a video and single treatment but I think she'll only do that for a vault track.

[Kiss It Better]

maybe but if any (and only one) original 1989 TV tracks would hit #1 i hope it's Style or New Romantics, also hoping NR gets a video treatment with all 1989 videos looks being in the video (like a mini LWYMMD video)
