charts discussion Taylor Swift streaming thread: "Cruel Summer" reaches 2.6 billion streams

[Klein]

Her catalogue is rising again in streams after weeks of slow decrease. People are getting excited for the tour to start again I guess. 

[NEX]

Omg I'm a Lover stan, but this is getting out of hand. At this point it will end up being her most successful album and this is not OK. It's still bottom of her discography, only marginally better than Reputation 

[LostInStereo100]

She needs to do something with August once Spring or Summer begins.  She can’t ignore it for much longer with how it keeps getting bigger

14 and counting* for Midnights. It is predicted to be back in the top 10 and I don't think it will stop there.

But they’re both predicted to be in the top 10 next week so the gap would remain the same tho

I’m not concerned with Lover becoming her biggest album. 1989 is way too strong for that to happen.  However I am  a little concerned that Lover will become the most streamed female album of all time. That would be a little out of hand.

How far is it to being the most streamed female album? Is it actually a possibility?

8 to pass Fearless, 10 to pass 1989, 14 to pass Midnights

At this point, I guess Lover will definitely surpass 1989 to be second place for most weeks in the top 10 in her discography.
 

The entire month February is on lock due to Valentine’s season (and resurgence of Lover (song)).

 

I don’t think it can surpass Midnights though.

1	5		Dua Lipa  Dua Lipa	11,862,105,027	3,776,778
2	6		Future Nostalgia  Dua Lipa	11,776,516,805	4,712,595
3	9		Sour  Olivia Rodrigo	11,430,490,250	7,894,433
4	10		When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go?  Billie Eilish	10,591,290,219	3,786,983
5	17		Lover  Taylor Swift	9,004,901,136	11,891,930

 

 

It will probably be very hard to surpass Sour, if it's possible at all. At the current rate (getting 4M more daily), it will need 850 days. 

 

Factor in Olivia is going on tour this year, and the fact Lover will inevitably decline once The Eras Tour is over, I'm not entirely sure it will happen.

Thanks. So it will for sure become #2 eventually

With a rate of 4M daily lead, it would take 606 days to surpass it, which is around summer of next year, and you're right that it will eventually start decreasing, but so will Sour...

Sure SOUR will decline over time, but I fear Lover will decline harder because it is currently benefitting from an active smash single, while SOUR's single run has been over for a long time. 

 

But you know what, I've doubted Lover in the past, so no more. 

 

And thank you for correcting me on the number of days needed to surpass SOUR at the current 4M rate. I used a 3.4B difference when calculating instead of a 2.4B.

Lover is coming so hard right now  

 

Imagine its streams next week  

[liquiddiamonds]

Came to post over Delicate!! Remember when everyone called it a radio-carried single??? oooh that aged badly. a streaming smash!

[Feanor]

Its stability is so impressive.

I wonder how much more gas it has left in the tank, with the Grammys, international Eras shows and summer  potentially keeping it going for some time more.
