I doubt Megan’s pure sales are enough to dethrone TTPD though 2

But seriously, it is nice to see Taylor so happy and celebrated by her partner. I was at the first two London shows and saw Travis up close. He's even more handsome IRL. Edited July 2 by Mandalore 1
Mandalore Posted July 2 Posted July 2 4 minutes ago, Arrows said: 54 more weeks… Do we think she'll do it? Her smash albums (Fearless/1989/TTPD) average around 11 weeks at the top. TTPD might go slightly above that but still. Doable but a slow process imo. It also depends on how many new albums she's going to release moving forward.
swifthino Posted July 2 Posted July 2 even if TTPD does "only" 11 weeks at #1, it's still batshit CRAZY for anyone this far into their career to be doing double digits numbers at #1 Spoiler not to mention she did this TWICE already 4
Klein Posted July 2 Posted July 2 20 minutes ago, Arrows said: 54 more weeks… Do we think she'll do it? I could see it happening long term but that will take 10-20 years unless she manages to remain at her current level of popularity and productivity which is pretty much impossible. 2
Holiest Dreams Posted July 2 Posted July 2 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 3

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 2

MardinBeksloy Posted July 2 Posted July 2 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?

Do you think she will try to aim for the 12th week? 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.
Dear Reader Posted July 2 Posted July 2 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.

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.

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. 1
