200M+ for Labyrinth, we love to see it. Deserves even more 

[DeepEnd]

August still going strong . How long did it take last year for people to stop streaming it?

I might be wrong but I think it was already below 2M like the 2nd or 3rd week of August. 

[Enrique523]

Yeah i'm surprised August i still going that strong, the Eras Tour really made people more hungry for her music than before

I just saw that Fearless (song) is outstreaming every song on Red besides ATW .

 

Did it go viral recently?

It’s top ten in her discography, people are finally waking up.

I think I Don’t Want To Live Forever was her #1 song because it wasn’t removed from streaming like 1989 was, even though it was obvi a hit itself. Love seeing BS take the throne

Oh I love to see You Belong With Me (Taylor's Version) shitting on End Fame 

Plus Bible Space crushing I Don't Want To Listen Again under its heel 

 

Yes, kick a ***** while she's down

It wasn't long ago that haters would use IDWLF to drag Taylor and say her biggest streaming hit is a featured soundtrack song

[Peak Now]

Talent won 

[byzantium]

Blank Space should have always been her biggest song.  The world is healing. 

[LastKiss]

Blank Space is THAT song

Which is not entirely deserved if i'm 100% honest. Yes it's a great song but i'd rather see Blank Space at the top.

If august gets single treatment in 2024, it will organically pass all of them and have extremely strong recurrent streams  

 

CS and August being new classics as she approaching mid 30’s truly a legend. I think August is more iconic and recognizable than CS 👀 

[naval23]

damn "Blank Space" is truly one of her best in terms of pop excellence though, so deserved

[Theluckyone]

With blank space TV coming, cruel summer will probably top blank space in due time.

Unfortunately yes (love Cruel Summer but Blank Space deserves that top spot).
