Both seems mega smashes, like you can't get any bigger than that.

 

I prefer Shallow

BS

Shallow has a very big chunk of its Youtube views in the Oscars performance. It's got like 650M streams there.

 

Overall, Shallow feels bigger to me and more global. And it's more acclaimed, too.

Both are mega smashes. Shallow is a gorgeous song but Blank Space still has my heart. 

Shallow for all 3 but both are obviously acclaimed mega-smashes

Shallow sweety

Shallow. Blank Spice was very local and bad.

The one that was a hit outside of the Anglosphere.

Blank Space TV is coming to SMASH 

I might get heat for this... I never liked Shallow Always Remember Us This Way is the better ASIB soundtrack song, imo. For that reason I prefer Blank Space, though Shallow is probably bigger.

Blank Space

3B YT + 1B Spotify - 4B

 

Shallow 

1.4B YT + 2B Spotify - 3.4B

 

I know you are 

I like both but I feel like Shallow is better

Blank Space has more overall streams (and is gaining more daily streams) and obviously has more pure sales. It objectively wins I fear.

good for the YouTube era hit Blank Space's standards, we all know Spotify streams (Demand streaming) > YouTube (Non-Demand) streams anyways and we'll wait 39 years for Blank Space to surpass Shallow on Spotify!

Shallow is bigger than any Taylor song.

We indeed do, this is why i made another post for you in another thread with these weightenings 

 

Shallow is and will always be bigger than any song/remix/RED BLUE LGBT version song Taylor Safe will ever put out.

Shallow wins 4 me
