Weeks at #1

 

Fearless - 11

1989 - 11

folklore - 8

TTPD - 8

[Enrique523]

Do we think she could pull of 11 weeks at #1 like Fearless/1989 did?

Are there any major releases coming up? If not, she can absolutely do it.

I admit i don't pay close attention to new releases

Guilty As Sin? being her 5th most popular track on Spotify 🥹

 

Are y'all ready to acknowledge how legendary this song is yet - the flow, the production, the melody, the lyrics? Been a fan of her since 2008 and TTPD still ranks somewhere in the middle of her discography for me. I still like it, I just like some of her other works more. It was a little bloated with filler but with some extremely high highs and moments. 
 

But this song, this. song. It's top five easily. It fits the vibe of the OG cover art perfectly, and is what I expected the album to be as a whole. 
 

I would be so invested in her exploring this melancholic / ethereal sound more.

...yeah that should be fine. I just hope Imagine Dragons is not gonna potentially get the #1, i have no idea how relevant they still are at this point.

their last album did 91k in the US. Could potentially be a threat, but I also have no idea of their popularity at the moment. I think they're pretty much irrelevant, no?

I wonder how Gracie's album will do in a post-Eras opener world and the inclusion of a Taylor collab. Her other releases never did numbers but Risk and Close to You have made the most immediate noise out of any of her singles thus far, with the latter to become her highest charting song and only charting song after her remix of a Noah Kahan song.

 

I know I personally snatched a signed copy of the vinyl off her store because I absolutely adore those 2 songs and have high expectations.  If recent releases have proved anything (Charli, Sabrina, Chappell...) it's that momentum can quickly build even after years of middling commercial performance. If by some miracle she suddenly exceeds expectations, I doubt Taylor would make any moves to block ddd.

I mean, after Charli debuted with around 80k copies, I don't think Gracie can beat that. I can be surprised though

The way I was like "didn't their album already come out?" but I was just mixing them up with Twenty-One Pilots  

[Holiest Dreams]

Eminem is rumored to be dropping any time this summer, maybe even in the next few weeks. I just need TTPD to make it to 10 weeks before that happens, and then she can go for a personal best record (12+ weeks) later this summer, hopefully.

She's actually leaving the charts next week, I don't know if you've seen but people are saying this will be her downfall!

At the very least, it'll be interesting to see how much the Taylor affiliation can contribute to boosting her profile  if she does overperform though, I'm sure all the THOTs will be clamoring to discredit her impact anyway ddd

[Kyle-x]

This is probably the biggest grower of the album for me

I sure hope they're irrelevant at this point, i couldn't stand them at their peak 

 

Taylor is NOT gonna be blocked by THEM of all people, i just refuse

Yes, sweetie, spill the TEA

I've come to the conclusion that The Prophecy and The Black Dog are the best songs on the album and both are top 15 in her discography. 
 

The Prophecy is so Kacey Musgraves in the best way possible, but with swiftian lyrics. 

[taylor__fan]

Some of the haters will be buying tickets for her next tour and uploading those instastories. We all know that

[Cleanromantic]

@Kyle-x serving the best taste as usual . I do also like my posts being spam liked by @wastedpotential .

[taylor__fan]

Did she even ship all her variants yet? I know the last ones were shipping before trhe beginning of July and seeing how she hasn't had any threats maybe they didn't even ship them yet, meaning she still has that card if imagine dragons get close.

Down Bad & Guilty as Sin from the second acoustic drop and Fortnight & Fresh Out the Slammer from the third acoustic drop have not been shipped. Only But Daddy I Love Him from the first acoustic drop has shipped

Then I think she has these weeks on lock. I think probably the GAS edition will sell the best

Fantastic taste 

 

The Black Dog was my obsession after listening to TTPD for the first time, i had that masterpiece on repeat for HOURS after that
