charts discussion Taylor Swift streaming thread: "You Need to Calm Down" reaches 1 billion streams

[Mr. Duff]

Yeah August could be a CS but it already has so much streams so I wonder how it will affect it in the long run especially if Taylor tries to make it a single. At this point I feel like it’s better to be in the running for biggest streams for a non-single. I think Eminem has it at the moment with Til I Collapse?

[Bosque]

I don't think she's gonna make all these old album tracks official singles. Cruel Summer and ATW were special cases. She didn't do anything for Enchanted.

 

Style reaching 1 billion right when 1989 TV is released iconic Style TV next

[Tusk]

closure is reaching 100,000,000 in days. 
 

I never thought I would see the day. I’m so happy.

I’m surprised SIO is getting out streamed by style / BS / WD all these years later, especially 3 days before 1989tv is upon us. The better songs truly won.

I think Shake It Off is her biggest hit, but doesn't inspire the sort of repeat business among fans as others.

SIO and Bad Blood are at the bottom of 1989 for me. So cant complain.

At this point just rename this the Taylor Swift vs Bad Bunny global charts. 

[Peak Now]

So I was curious and figured out what her top 10 most streamed songs would be if OG and TV versions were merged...

 

1. Cruel Summer - 4,813,257

2. Style - 2,372,836

3. Blank Space - 2,325,083

4. Anti-Hero - 2,015,300

8. Wildest Dreams - 1,694,799

9. Don't Blame Me - 1,615,104

10. Enchanted - 1,585,602

 

Wildest Dreams is so screwed over by the OG/TV split that it's not even funny, its streams are split almost 50/50

I just posted the data on this in her base recently. Wildest Dreams has the worst split of all her songs because locals don’t even know the TV is out yet (This Love also has a terrible split compare to her other album tracks). It will probably be closer to an 75:25 split like her other big hits once the album is out

 

Enchanted is her one song that truly has no excuse for how much people stream the OG. People really rejected that TV way more than even WANEGBT or IKYWT

so excited to watch 1989 TV's chart runs

I wonder if WD TV can stabilize at +1.5M, it's doing 900K right now and it has no parent album yet

I'm so glad the stolen version of 'Style' hit 1 bil before TV is released. Another record for queen Tay x

[LCTV]

rip Chart watchers it's about to be a Bad BLOOD BATH

[Jpkun]

So with Cruel Summer being back to #1 on TTH this week will be super interesting to see where the 1989 songs chart vs. Cruel Summer. Also will be super interesting to see Taylor's stream total tomorrow. I imagine it'll be the biggest streaming day of all time, surpassing Midnights release day, but I guess I could be wrong!

Her catalogue was doing 93M on Monday, vs 83M on the Monday of Speak Now TV release week. The day of SNTV release, she did 209M, so she was shy of what, 20M streams to beat the record? 

 

With her catalogue performing better prior to 1989 TV's release, and 1989 TV likely opening with better numbers than SNTV, I would expect her to beat her record on Midnights' release day.

reputa you will never be famous.

MA’AM 

 

 

[simmnfierzig]

Hmmmmmmmmmm. 

Spotify tracking day is over and they didnt tweet. 

I thought there was a pretty good chance of beating Midnights
