album Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'

[bluebirdsforever]

Screaming at the negativity in here when the album was just boosted massively from the first tour date of a year-long leg and is outperforming Midnights / Anti-Hero pretty handily 

We truly have the highest standards of any fanbase on earth 

[Achilles.]

Part of me thinks that WAOLOM ought to have been the opening track of the album but part of me thinks it's too intense for that slot. 

[Peak Now]

Broken Fart is definitely bottom tier on the album but the GP has always been tasteless 

 

Maybe we can have a charts not arts moment 

[itsjem]

Fortnight having 2.3M streams in the US and being 8 is absolutely nuts

[vale9001]

Until now not only It's outstreaming midnights but even bad bunny un Verano sin ti. 

That album 22nd day was around 56M. 

 

Midnights went under that album in day by day comparison after like 12-13 days.

 

Until now no doubt will be the fastest album to get 3B and 4B too.

The album had 3 of the biggest streaming weeks of the year and it's "over"... uhhh

[coney island]

This album really has its foot on my neck. Only one version at a time though. I really appreciate that. I'll go a few days exclusively listening to standard, then the next few days listening to The Anthology, and then the next few days the standard. It's like two different narcotics. Her mind.

Yeah I was (rightly) worried that some Stan's were going to start thinking of last year as her standard and not the historic peak that it was 💀

[vale9001]

the eras tour is like a perpetual Super Bowl. Its effect on charts is like that. Wherever she tours is like this show put people on (or back?) to her catalog and than they stay with it for months...so her daily streams average becames bigger and bigger and bigger. 

With the tour coming now in germany, france, Italy, Poland, Uk, Spain etc... (all these countries combined are bigger than the Us or the latina countries she toured) i think the album will have crazy legs all summer. Like with a proper second single could stay in the 40M daily range for a long time.

WAOLOM is the I Did Something Bad of TTPD and the Picture To Burn/Stupid Boy of debut. I hope Stupid Boy will be a debut TV vault track. She was angry in that one!

[Cloröx]

TTPD has more replay value than Midnights, I've been playing Guilty as Sin, So High School and The Bolter on loop right now  

[Badgalbriel]

Fortnight is such a great song, my god. Just wish the production punched a little harder. 

[Nova_23]

Just coming in here to say that Down Bad is still that song and should be a single 

[Magickarp]

Anti-Zero only smashed harder cuz it was "relatable" in the insufferable TikTok sense. Fortnight is a better song, with smarter lyrics, & a less insufferable instrumental. It's less relatable to most, but it's very relatable to me because i basically went through exactly what she went through with Shawn & Camila.

[4Real]

Down Bad and ICDIWABH > Fortnight

[cruelhprince]

Fortnight will have incredible legs throughout the summer. it's an amazing song and an easy listen + the performance is incredible. today's boost was a great sign

Dead at the description since I couldn't have said it any better, like I can't help but to be pissed off, she delivered over 30 ******* tracks, just for the the tragic gp to cherry pick the bottom of the barrel aka this and that high school mess.

Not trying to shame her here, but people half her age, who were born the year she debuted are graduating HS during these couple of months, and the most frustrating thing is that she's fully aware of the perception towards her, considering the way she behaves and releasing this, yet is running with it instead of doing the exact opposite.

folkmore was a real turning point but we're currently going in the wrong direction, which sucks considering there's SO MANY gems here, but the attention is going to the tracks that encapsulate the way she's viewed, throwing us a decade back where she was mainly known for the subpar part of her discography after the past couple of years where she managed to smash with actual quality...

 

Don't get me wrong, while I worship her depressing ****, a timeless swiftian bop is still my kryptonite, like she always manages to bury at least one banger in every single release, that is both filled and laced with crack, the ones that will never rank that high among her catalogue but I'll still run into the ground for years without getting sick of, these are the ones that actually deserve to get that kind of shine if the gp is looking for the "bubbly, carefree & fun" side of her, without the need to compromise what makes her special, like where's the love for, Tell Me Why/The Story Of Us/The Lucky One/I Wish You Would/King of My Heart/I Think He Knows/Long Story Short/Paris/imgonnagetyouback...??

 

Now Don't drag my good sis So Seminary School into it...

[KarmaCat]

I need radio to get it together and hang on to Fortnight for a while, they continue to be tasteless ugh

[G.U.Y_Del_Rey]

That I'm fearsome and I'm wretched and I'm wrooong

i kinda agree with your post but Fortnight is the first single? I would be disappointed too to have that song as official single so i hope she goes into a different direction.

 

Anyways is not anymore like in the 2012 when only people buying a cd could listen to the whole thing so, especially for some markets, red was like only a max martin kidz bop thing. I think people definitely have an idea of what the whole album is. Fortnight it's still the most streamed, so long london and many others are still doing good so if it that song doesn't became a single but just something some people like on their own i don't see a particular problem right now.

Yes it is such a hot summer song and such an easy listen. Something about the lyrics is also so fun to sing.

It's hot here, and I was just driving listening to fortnight with my windows down, and it hit so good.
