album Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'

[fridayteenage]

most dominant decades of topping the Billboard 200:

beatles 111 weeks (1960s)

garth 50 (1990s)

mj 43 (1980s)

elton 39 (1970s)

taylor 39 (2020s) 

 

One more to get to 40 this decade.

I actually find that line sad.

I mean it is. It just threw me off guard. She was TIRED

Clara Bow is so amazing that I always forget that it isn't from the better half of the album.

it would be a shame if her biggest album this decade, ended up with one single 

 

esp. with down bad, broken heart and guilty as sin sitting right there

This so much  She NEEDS to give us AT LEAST one more single and mv

Agreed like 10 weeks a number one type of smash album and she barely touched Fortnight. I'm fine with just one more single even. To allow this to get to 6-7 million units on Billboard this year  

 

broken Heart still doing its thing on radio and streams, Down Bad, GAS all could be singles heck even some of the ballads to get those album sales maximized 

[LostInStereo100]

If she did multiple singles, this would be a diamond album in no time guaranteed. 
 

Do you think she is relaxing on singles to take a break as the eras tour slows closes its chapter?

I actually like So Long, London.

 

I am guessing she is saving the performance for the shows in August.

[IBeMe]

Cassandra is such an underrated gem I get she isn't a standout thematically or in terms of her melody etc but it just really captivates you if you hear it as a standalone song without even associating it with Taylor. It almost sounds like a song from a Broadway soundtrack or something. It just hits a certain spot

[OnlyManInTheWorld]

01. Down Bad

02. Guilty as Sin?

03. But Daddy I Love Him

04. I Can Do It with a Broken Heart

05. Down Bad (Clean Version)

 

The rest, unfortunately, unlistenable

[Nico Robin]

The tracklist is insanely good the way it is, please stop smoking crack

[IBeMe]

Love Megan but she is actually challenging TTPD this week. TTPD will likely do around 95k-105k this week and Megan's album will actually be within range (prob around 80k). She has the BET awards lined up and her streams increased on day two. She may snatch if Taylor doesn't maybe ship some of the acoustics this week. Even a 5k sales hike with acoustic CDs could help enormously to solidify that 11th week at #1.

[Buffy]

I can't believe she's not going to make The Alchemy or Down Bad singles. What a waste of potential hits. 

[Mandalore]

Now and then I reread the manuscript
But the story isn't mine anymore

 

[Cruel Summer]

My remaining two variants have shipped

11th week is locked, HDD didn't even bother with an article on saturday which means that new releases are barely scratching top 20, let alone top 10…

But with Zack & Eminem back to back and the last variants getting shipped this week, it will take for her to drop Anthology on physicals to get another week at the top, otherwise TTPD will be stuck at a 3-way tie for her longest #1 with Fearless & 1989.

You know, i almost decided to log-out of ATRL for good, due mostly to the fact that Selena has starved the fanbase for 3 years and counting apart from a yearly 10 episodes of a pretty good TV Show and 2 songs a year, but apart from that i listen to You Need To Calm Down because it kept popping up on my autoplay and i thought hey, you know what, i enjoy being on the internet comparing all the girls who are killing it. Sure, do i wish i could get my threadmaking rights back? Yes i think about this often. But hey, maybe sitting back and not being in control of absolutely anything is best. 
Apart from that well hey, TTPD still sorta slaps and i'm waiting for rep TV. 
Let me stream Down Bad and So High School a bit.

[1989]

As a Swiftie and a Hottie, the only person I'd be okay with dethroning Taylor is Megan. However, I really don't see Megan's album being a threat to TTPD, honestly. It's definitely going to be Zach and Eminem that might be the only artists to take the top spot away. 

[1989]

Also, can we talk about how of the 4 original variant tracks:

 

The Black Dog > The Albatross > The Bolter > The Manuscript 

 

Obviously The Black Dog is an all time song from her, but The Albatross is heavily slept on. It would've fit perfectly on Evermore (and is actually better than almost half of Evermore, which is saying something as there isn't a bad song on that album). 

[pinkbowvintage]

oh Clara Bow acoustic is GORGEOUS. it actually sounds a lot like Bette Davis Eyes, I'm just realizing. same chords?
