album Taylor Swift - 'THE TORTURED POETS DEPARTMENT'

[Migs30283]

I hope Billie takes AOTY and Taylor wins Pop Duo and SOTY at the 67th Grammys.

Her album selling power in Japan kinda fell off, but she still managed to sell out shows there?

She's clearing her peers there, it's just that western music is kind of dead on the charts. The only western album in the top 100 yearly chart last year was The Rolling Stones' Hackney Diamonds at #76 (54k sales). The next best performing ones were two best-of albums by The Beatles at #108 and #118, then Metallica's 72 Seasons at #142, then Rush! by Måneskin at #250, then #258 which is 1989 TV by Taylor and then the final western album in the top 300 at #285 which was Subtract by Ed Sheeran.

 

Outside the top 300, there's Six by Extreme at #364, Songs of Surrender by U2 at #372, Midnights by Taylor at #373, Council Skies by Noel Gallagher at #387, Doo-Wops by Bruno Mars at #402 ddd, Guts by Olivia Rodrigo at #410, Speak Now TV at #426

 

tl;dr, only 14 western albums charted in the top 500 of the year end chart last year and Taylor was the only woman in the top 400.

TTPD has sold nearly 40k (physical+digital) pure copies so far which is EXCELLENT for a western album in 2024

The "oh oh oh"s during the bridge of My Boy... almost ruin the song for me.

So the chorus didn't ruin the song for you already?  I'm still 50/50 with it, but the outro is soooo good

[PoisonedIvy]

Just going on record in here that my 3 recent threads are the result of me dozing off and wanting some entertainment to wake up and read. Like throwing a firecracker into a dumpster. 
 

OT: announce a second single or Puta TV, Alison. Or the Anthology vinyl. Please. Anything.

 

also my (2nd) Eras tour show is 32 days away, I'm excited to see the TTPD set live

I feel like international radio pulled Fortnight off of rotation due to the "I wanna killer her" line 'cause I haven't heard it since April

 

[Souvenir]

Who is STILL consumming the Beatles's music like that in 2024? It's not like they released new music

People are so dumb these days it wouldn't even surprise me 

 

The real issue at this point is the absence of a second single.

What OTHs will say about people still consuming Taylor's music in 2074.

the sad thing is that there are so many options worth picking: Down Bad, Guilty as sin?, I Can do it with a broken heart, My boy only breaks his favorite toys, So High School and imgonnagetyouback are all great singles

[Dear Reader]

This is becoming one of my favorites

And it's the fact that you can toss up between Side A and Side B one week or another and they sound fresh every single time

Yes!

[selena_lavigne]

So i still don't like the second half, but the first 16 songs have completely clicked with me.  It's no Midnights but it is a great sequel. Even though i woulda loved her to have more sex scenes in the story, it still slaps.

Or Taylor should pull a Mariah and tweet something about Em, then pretend her account was hacked.

It's so lush and soft and lyrically gutting and relatable in the worst way
