this post confused me

I meant it in the good way. ATRL tries to drag Swifties for mass buying and pushing songs to #1 but I'm sure there won't be lashings this time if they organize in order to block those MAGAs 

[hungrymuffin]

when she does push for #1, atrl drags her

when she doesnt do anything, atrl wants her to do something

 

pick a side, regardless of the current competitors

[Angelo]

Omgggg myyyy brain goess ahhhhh!!!

 

C’mon Taylor!!!

[youreyesgocold]

Wow despite ME!nopause and You Need to Pull the Plug, maybe Lover (alberm) is pretty after all 

 

[joannna]

its literally THISCLOSE

 

US streams last week: 

 

2. Cruel Summer 9,129,895 (+40k)

3. Last Night  9,126,121 (+14k)

 

Radio:

 

3. Last Night  77.18 (-1.31)

4. Cruel Summer 76.58 (+0.64)

 

 

with CS gaining on Spotify and Radio while the MAGA-singer is freefalling on radio, the music industry is taking it

The funny thing is that Swifties rarely mass buy anything, we're just a really massive fanbase

It's like she's determined to have this hit #1 100% organically

I mean a mv isn't inorganic, it's standard

I NEED YALL 24 HR STREAMING WE NEED TO TAKE DOWN MORGANA

[Taylucifer]

i desperately want this to go number 1 

[Green]

Cruel Summer is obviously going #1. She doesn't even need to do something

[TrieLz]

If she didn’t get the #1 this week, she will hit #1 for sure next week

I hope you're right!!

Her only competition is that random BTS member if the army decides to push him

V doesn’t have a chance to hit #1.

he will debut in the Top 40/50 because his song only has 1 version, and it seems Hybe/his label didn’t interest to push him on hot 100.

I’d love it for her but Morgan is going so strong. Allthough I read somewhere streaming and radio is dropping him significantly so maybe she has a chance?

We shouldn't count on  #1 but from all accounts Taylor is a moderate favorite. 

 

Last Night is finally starting to fall significantly on radio while Cruel Summer is still growing.  On Monday's chart, Cruel Summer should be up 12% points and Last Night down 6%. If the same percentages holds for next week, Cruel Summer will surpass Last Night with points to  spare. Fast Car could also take it instead but Fast Car's points are also decreasing.

 

Even if it doesn't surpass it next week, it should the week after.  I am more worried about another artist swooping in for the #1 such as Olivia, Drake or V (BTS).

 

I hope she has a music video (tour or otherwise ) to cement the #1.

She should drop a tour video just to secure it. It would still be an organic #1, especially since it would be the perfect way to commemorate the end of the US leg. Also, never know if her streaming drops later in the week

[4Real]

Drop that tour mv girlie

[Gaia]

An organic Taylor Swift #1. Almost figured that was impossible in this day and age. She can follow up releasing Afterglow as a single next

Kill the men, Taylor

She just doesn't care about this song  It is the ugly stepsibling to her favorites ME!, YNTCD and The Man. Taylor is like Laura Dern in the Bejeweled music video with her Lover singles

[Raspberries]

I'm so sick of these random MAGA artists coming out of nowhere because of manipulated sales

The lyrics, especially the second verse are something huh
