I Know Jesus is primed and ready, the radio programming directors are ON CALL waiting to send it to #1

I know places will be such an improvement. I’m sure of it. Her vocals are so much better now.

I didn't know so many Swifties pretended to like this song. It's always been a skip for me.

Could we be getting a wonderland tv music video? The Alice in wonderland reference in the karma vid feels so random 

Wasn’t that more Wizard of Oz?

I was so upset as a fan when Opus Of The Woods was made the sixth single and not I Know Jesus

[19SLAYty9]

IKP is in the bottom 5 on 1989. Maybe bottom 2.

Realistically, AYHTDWS should’ve been the sixth single. Especially when stay by Zedd Was a total rip off of it and a huge hit

Yes, All You Had To Do Was Pray would've been a smash, but there's something incredibly captivating about the I-II-IIII-II vocal run at the end of the chorus of I Know Jesus that the pop radio listening audience would have devoured in Fall 2015 and Winter 2016 

 

Plus, IKJ is so full of imagery already that a video concept literally comes together in minutes

Realistically, she could’ve made them both singles along with Wonderland, HYGTG, & IWYW.

Realistically, this is going to do a million In pre orders. Is 2 million first week possible? 

It won't do 1M in preorders unless there are more things than these 4 variants.

[Obsession]

The covers are getting progressively worse. End this, blondie.

I’m still not convinced we aren’t getting more songs. Either a target deluxe with bonus tracks or some sort of deluxe with remixes featuring other artists.

I want them to do a Target deluxe CD/vinyl with 1-3 extra vault tracks. And perhaps some voice memos, if she has any, for vault tracks. It would sell like crazy. Then those songs can come to streaming some time in 2024.

I genuinely think it’s possible, but I don’t want to overestimate at the same time… I mean, it’s definitely hitting 1M in preorders alone assuming the color variants aren’t the only things left in store. And with her last two releases, she’s more than doubled the preorders in the final pure sales total (including digital sales). Personally, I doubt 1989 will do that since the preorders are just so monstrous, but will still shift many more copies first week. It’s definitely going to surpass Midnights at this rate imo, at least

I'm the audience and I want to

 

Loving all this praise for I Know Places. I couldn't believe it is the second song with less streams on 1989 after This Love  It's literally the highlight!

If the last two ones are as successful as the yellow one, it’s basically 850-900k (especially since pink is anticipated) and with digital not included, 2 months left and potentially limited CD back, it’s totally possible imo

Yeah but I think the yellow one will be the most successful one. I saw more buzz and excitement among fans. This is just my subjective opinion, obviously, I don't know the numbers for this one. With the CDs back, signed copies... I would agree.

Is there any website that sells these vinyls that does wordwide shipping? Can’t preorder anything from her UK store whoch is weird because they usually ship to my country… Someone pls help
