Does anyone think The Anthology will push the album back into the spotlight enough to get back to #1 to break the record?

For albums among solo women, I think it all comes down to whether she wants it. If it's only exclusive to Target for like a week and she then releases it via her web store and other retailers, plus maybe a digital variant or two, she could get pretty close; Q4 isn't as competitive as it used to be and she's the one to beat any given week. But that would take nine more weeks - and that's a tough push. I'd be more than happy to see it just get five more.

For most weeks at #1 on the BB 200.

It's hard to know, the longest #1 album in the Soundscan era is 21 with 24 weeks, TTPD needs another 9 weeks to make it, it's not impossible tho.

6 months later and this is still her best album for me. I've never related to an album more in my life 

 

You see I was a debutant in another life but

Now I seem to be scared to go outside

 

So many lyrics I feel personally called out by 

[Mr. Duff]

Damn this is amazing! Do we already know why 35 tracks? Are there new songs or just remixes?

according to Billboard 

Quote

The vinyl version of the 35-track album, including four bonus acoustic songs ("I Can See You," "You Are In Love," "Death By a Thousand Cuts" and "Maroon"), will also feature a never-before-seen poster of Swift and come on four marbled, translucent discs.

so the Eras Tour movie bonus performances

I would understand the choice but So High School is the least representative song on The Anthology and I'm mad about it if it's the supporting single. 

 

Radio plays be damn, release I Hate It Here or The Prophecy Blondie. 

if she rlly wants to go on that route she should release How Did It End? then

Well that would also be ok for me. 

[Michael196]

LET'S GO 

My greedy ass was hoping for four new songs, but queen continues her streak of never tucking songs out of nowhere post release, deluxe and surprise editions hours after release don't count since they're planned ahead...

The acoustics are four of these... loml , peter , MBOBHFT , GAS , HDIE , a WIN no matter which combination she picks, but loml better be there. I have yet to spend anything for this entire release (outside the AM subscription) since I wasn't able to get a signed cd, but this is a must

That would be a much better choice. But The Prophecy is right there!

[Achilles.]

The way I said I'd only buy the album if she put out Anthology physicals and now she is but I'm still like… why bother? I don't use CDs for anything, ever, and it's not like I have a complete collection of her catalog anymore anyways.  IDK we'll see.

I love this project so, so much… it's my favourite thing she's put out since folklore.

Yes, it's too long - yes, it's overstuffed - yes, she needs an editor… and yes she needs some BANGERS on TS12…

 

BUT in terms of appreciating Poets for what it is - I wholeheartedly adore this record and the base album is top 3 in her whole discography alongside 1989 and folklore.

152 shows? They still including Vienna dates?

Can someone explain WHY she added acoustic versions of Maroon, YAIL, DBATC and ICSY though? 

Ok i'm glad this is wrong because i was REALLY confused for a moment 

[Kyle-x]

I need this to go up for pre-order, I don't want to go to war to get this

I've genuinely never been that obsessed with a new Taylor album before, this is insane. 6 months later and i'm STILL listening to it more than the rest of her discography

Not a photo book...

I had finally grown out of spamming TTPD like it was release last week... and here we go again. A mere vinyl announcement made me obsessed with the album again. 

[Cruelest Summer]

a new single with the physical copies and the era will be safe

I've already informed my family that they'll be drafted. Buying supplies this week, planning the location, prepping for battle - I'll be damned if I'll walk out of that Target without my legally mandated copies of this album

 

[PoisonedIvy]

I'd almost kicked the hardcore Swiftie disease and here she goes bringing me back again

The ******* scalpers will have a field day year with these, I'm scared to check the mess on ebay
