[LostInStereo100]

Yikes CS already number 4 daily streams in Taylor songs. It's closer to surpassing Fortnight that I expected  

 

I was thinking maybe June it would happen but depending on CS's boosts the next few days the amount between the two songs will be only like 2-3 million already

Blank Space still pulling 700k+ streams  I feel bad for the TV.

 

But Daddy I Love Him should be top 5! It is storytelling at its finest!!!

Cruel Summer is truly immortal. It will be interesting to see if the Eras Tour returning boosts it or TTPD more.

Taylor's 200th song to reach 100M 

[Enrique523]

Fortnight is pretty much guarantee to be as least as big of a hit as Anti-Hero at this point right? It's pretty stable overall and the tour will help too.

No, it's too soon to tell, I think it's guarantee to be a medium smash hit, but big is not guaranteed. Radio that could be its support could drop it anytime tbh given how weird radio has become

I just don't see Fortnight have a massive freefall like that, it's been 3 weeks already, it would've already dropped off if the GP hated it. And the tour should help keep it stable.
