NoOneDiesFromLove Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 I literally cannot force myself to like The Story of Us TV I don’t know what it is it kinda gets worse as it progresses and the final “like it’s killing meeee yeah” is just not right

Yea these songs are long and wordy, I don’t see that playing well with a lot of international audiences. Well, then again Phillipines loves and worships Speak Now OG so But yeah this might have a bigger first day than RTV (a stretch, but possible) but I don’t think it can have a bigger week
HappierJealousy Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Someone said it has already pass 50m on Spotify after 3 hours

They feel really prominent in the mix and it gives me a headache The first verse is botched. They overdid the reverb. The rest of the song is fine 4 minutes ago, onewillowsilk said: 800k-1M first week with 7-8 top 10 debuts? Not you trying to set her up.

touchofmyhand Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Hayley on Castles Crumbling Sorry Lord, but I need Hayley’s Version.

She's a different beast in 2023. Not to mention the top 10 being very weak right now. I can see her doing 700-850k easily. 3 minutes ago, fridayteenage said: fearless had 0 rtv had 1 Taylor wasn't the streaming force she is now when those projects dropped. I can see all 28 songs charting and I can see multiple top 10 debuts tbh. I think this will be her only release of the year and her first since Midnights, I don't see how it doesn't outdo both RedTV and FearlessTV on streaming, considering how much stronger Taylor is on streaming right now compared to say even just last year.
@michael Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 The drums on Haunted are distracting the hell out of me. Actually the drums on several tracks are off…
VampireGrin Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 This was the most magical TV for me so far. Got in my feelings so hard. Especially during Mine and Long Live. But I legit ugly cried during Never Grow Up. My only complaint is the lyric change in BTR, everything else is flawless. Electric Touch, I Can See You and Castles Crumbling are so ******* good. I cant stop playing them.

She’s a force but her streams divide too evenly amongst all 22 tracks, it’s not like there’s 8 songs that are all hit singles (like what will happen with 1989), it’s a bunch of 5 minute country songs and rock ballads that Latin American and European audiences might not vibe with after hearing them the first day, but I guess we’ll see
touchofmyhand Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Castles Crumbling kinda starts dragging at the end. Issa chop.
NoOneDiesFromLove Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 On first listen: - I Can See You - Electric Touch - When Emma Falls In Love - Timeless - Castles Crumbling - Foolish One
Achilles. Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 I can’t get over Timeless. Her best since folkmore.

We’ll be lucky with 500k and maybe one top 10 Exactly, although 800K is being waaayyy too optimistic I'm not? This should be her best streaming release with the exception of Midnights (maybe it even does as well as Midnights since it has 8 more songs). Physicals are already locked down and Taylor should do at least 500k physicals. Doing 300k from streaming won't be hard considering this has 28 songs, is one of Taylor's most beloved albums and how much stronger she is on streaming today compared to when the last TV dropped. We'll see what happens but I really don't think I'm overestimating Taylor at all. I think y'all might be underestimating her. Mayb 7-8 top 10 debuts is a stretch but I can definitely see 3-5 top 10 debuts off this.
Peroxide Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Now that we have the full thing… I’m going to softball my predictions… just slightly. I still think it’s doing north of 700k. They still seem to be focused on Cruel Summer smashing (the RIGHT call), but the only track to get major play listing seems to be I Can See You? Odd choice. I can’t see anything on here getting a top 3 debut… unless something gets a video and radio play etc…
Disconnect Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Some of y'all just need to chill tbh haha There are some better ones and some worse ones and I think sadly that'll be the rule for every re-recording...
1989 Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 My prediction ever since the announcement has been 650k and I’m sticking with it. I think it’ll slightly outdo Red TV just due to her status and hype right now, but I don’t see this getting close to Folklore numbers, let alone Midnights. Of course, I’d love to be proven wrong, so we’ll see.
touchofmyhand Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 (edited) Timeless and Emma are 10/10. I Can See You is very solid too, might actually be 10/10 as well. The others are definitely vault tracks. Edited July 7, 2023 by touchofmyhand

Either way, I'm speaking specifically about the album's performance in the US. It should still do damage on Spotify globally but I think it'll do even better in the US. 600-800k isn't a reach because of the physicals Taylor has prepared and streaming-wise, with how strong she is today and how weak the charts are, I don't get how me saying it will score multiple top 10 hits is being seen as a reach. The lower half of the top 10 is very weak right now. But maybe some of you just want to temper expectations to be safe and that's okay, I guess.
1989 Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Enchanted TV could debut fairly high because, well, it’s Enchanted, but I feel like anyone expecting a #1 is just setting themselves up.
