charts discussion Cruel Summer challenging for #1; threatened by new racist country song

[Bethenny Frankel]

america never fails to disappoint me

[Fitzswiftie]

Do the right wings folks actually enjoy listening to this. Politics aside It’s such a pile of sludge on a musical composition level. 
 

Like Zach Bryan (a veteran too, since repubs love military pandering) is literally right here.

[FreeXone]

 Not Taylor’s base blocking her lol

#9 Spotify

 

It‘s lOver I fear ugh where are the remixes

[NMG19]

Honestly I have a feeling this song won't "happen" just in the US, I have a feeling this will be one of the biggest country songs in Europe ever.

Lmao no. Most Europeans won't understand the lyrics and it's not even catchy.

The literal tie for #1

 

Every stream can make the difference y'all 

 

Use a focused playlist to stRihm: 

 

Wait - putting a song on repeat doesn't count as multiple streams? Damn

[NMG19]

If it hits the top, when was the last time it had three #1 country songs on the hot 100 in a year?

John Denver - Thank God I'm a Country Boy (June 7)

Glen Campbell - Rhinestone Cowboy (September 6-13)

(And for good measure, CW McCall's "Convoy" hit #1 on January 10, 1976, making it 6 country songs in 9 months.)

 

Any 12 month period, 1980-1981 (actually 4 months, between November and March):

 

Kenny Rogers - Lady (November 15-December 20, 1980)

Dolly Parton - 9 to 5 (February 21 & March 14, 1981)

Eddie Rabbitt - I Love a Rainy Night (February 28-March 7, 1981)

Oh NOW she chooses to not be a capitalist...

 

[truthteller]

where are the signed copies, alternate covers, explicit, clean, sped up and slowed down, acoustic, EDM mix versions?

[lukascharts]

#1 on Apple Music, yeah it's probably going #1.

[Jude]

Is the country music punishing Taylor for ditching them?
