Yeah I also think she will overtake The Beatles but it'll take a while, which is totally expected. The fact that it's even possible is nuts. I'm sure she has one more smash album on the TTPD level (10+ weeks at #1) in her. Plus, even once she stops getting hit singles or being a "current" artist, I wouldn't be shocked if she manages to still have some truly smash albums. Like folklore, lucky timing and some tactics to get more weeks on top. Obviously she'll still have huge albums for the rest of her career, but I'm talking relative to her astronomical standards. 
 

I hope they manage to get TTPD to at least 12 weeks once Eminem's release has calmed down. Jimin and Stray Kidz are releasing the week after, so there's also that. Literally all they need to do is have Anthology CDs printed, it's so low effort and would sell a lot… lest we forget she sold like 200k CDs of Midnights version 73837295 in one city 

Actual weeks at #1 BB200: 79 

We could add: 

- 2 more weeks from TTPD

- 6 weeks from Reputation TV

- 3 weeks from Taylor Swift TV (if she release it on christmas period it could reach even 4/5 weeks ) 

 

So 90 weeks. 

 

I can see TS12 and TS 13 doing the same weeks of Folklore or Midnights so we can say at least 7 weeks for album. We are at 104 weeks and counting other projects, a Lover deluxe with new version, Midnights 3AM and The Anthology physicals we can reach 110 weeks by the end of decade. I can see Taylor doing the 2030s like Beyoncé is doing the 2020s, every 2 years a new album and 2-3 weeks at number one, so reaching The Beatles isn't impossible but we need of a good strategy to secure that more number one weeks

lol all of Megan's projects have gone top 10 since 2019. I doubt Megan's pure sales are enough to dethrone TTPD though

Hopefully she does, but the bar for the top 10 these past few months have been relatively higher than the past few years…

not this the same day as the "flop songs" thread lol

Twitter is saying she's shipping the acoustic version this week, so she's aiming for the 11th week. Do you think she will try to aim for the 12th week?

Your hologram stumbled into my apartment
Hands in the hair of somebody in darkness named Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus
And I just watched it happen

 

Why is this intro so catchy? Ugh, it's been stuck in my head for a month

The Zach Bryan release this coming week looks like it will make things difficult without a significant promotional push. Week 11 will probably be the last consecutive week and the last #1 week until later in July at the earliest.

I really would love if she tried to block Eminem… I don't think she'll even try, but it would be a fun battle.

I doubt it. Eminem will probably do 500k i think. He has a huge fanbase. And who knows maybe a hit single with the album release. Also taylor could have other weak weeks easily...why waste it on a single week instead of spacing it out and get more weeks at number 1.

Her team only tries when there's a chance and it's close. Don't think it will be the case for his release week. Maybe other weaker ones.

Yeah, that's true. I just wish she would release The Anthology vinyls to see its strength  just play the game a bit and make it a fun week with a lot of internet fumes.

Oh for sure, I'd love to have a strategically timed The Anthology vinyl release.  Considering she blew her nose and the internet fumed for a couple of days, I'd say we're soon due another meltdown!

I really wanted her to block Zach ngl since his girlfriend is such a hater it would be funny to see her fume on her podcast

His gf is a hater?

 

What's funny is she could block him if she tried nnnn 

[Tusk]

Where's the TTPD (extended versions) to keep her at #1?

 

We all want more Jack instrumentals on the songs. Right?!

[Klein]

I hope people will give MBOBHFT its flowers in the future because it's one of the most ear-worm chorus on the entire album and top-tier in her career tbh. That thing just gets stuck in your head and good luck getting rid of it.

My two favorite TTPD-related videos that I watched so far are these two:

 

The first was shared in this thread by I don't remember who (but icon behavior)

 

The second is a little 'weirder' if you will, but I think she makes a lot of great points (and actually dabbles into the question of the 'immature' talk surrounding Taylor). She gets too far into analyzing her psychology sometimes imo, but I still thought it was a really great one. And the tracklist re-shuffle she suggests at the end of the video is the one I use whenever I don't feel like listening to the complete 2 hours album.
