The stability 

[Mr. Duff]

Anti-Hero leaping, almost top 15  If it survives 1989TV  

[Cruel Summer]

Cruel Summer asserting itself as a strong, organic #1 now that it has an opportunity 

 

I’ll scream if it manages to stay on top through November tho 

[Theluckyone]

It deserves to dominate. Spare 1-2 weeks for 1989, then claim back that #1 spot.

Has any artist ever had a #1 hit while a completely different album of theirs goes #1? Because yeah at this rate

 

[Peak Now]

I hope I don't jinx it but Cruel Summer could snag a few extra weeks after 1989 TV, nothing in the top 10 is gaining significantly...

[UnusualBoy]

I'd be fine with CS being a 3-4 weeks smash, cannot be greedy

[ClashAndBurn]

The top 10 is so weak that Mimi could honestly go #1 before Black Friday

[Miley Cyrus]

Miley with 2 songs in the top 20

If greedy's airplay increases fast enough, I could see it at #1 a month from now.

[1989]

The way we were screaming at Taylor + TN all summer to move when this was so obviously planned to get its big push in time for the movie, 1989 TV so she can replace herself (maybe), and Grammy voting season. 
 

A mastermind, truly. 

[brianc33710]

Both 1989 TV & Halloween hit the Hot 100 the next week, not just 1989. I had forgotten about Halloweens impact.

Well yeah, something from 1989 TV.

ohh lol!  I genuinely dont think anything will dethrone Cruel Summer off of 1989 TV tbh. I think the songs will start to fizzle a little midweek but I could be wrong of course. 

[Green]

If the other contender is Sl*t then I hope Cruel Summer stays at #1

[naval23]

Used to be Young being #2 on radio in Canada and top 10 

Calm Down being top 5 in airplay is insane 

 

Top 5 Airplay

 

1. Cruel Summer

2. Used to be Young

3. Dance the Night

4. Vampire 

5. Calm Down

[greeneyedsoul]

CS you will always be a multi-week #1 sing. 

[B-Luke]

[Green]

Kill Bill climbs to #26.  That means it will survive Taylor's album bomb even if all Taylor's 21 songs chart higher. 

 

Also Cruel Summer would be #1 on sales, streams and radio the same week if it wasn't for that Kid Laroi / Jungkook song that will be #1 on sales
