And in the time since she's had Is It Over Now, which was a successful single by any metric, and one comparatively mild underperformance that's still done well on streaming, and you're questioning her status as a hitmaker? See, I thought it was a hit from 2019 that just lingered on the radio. And I'm a casual listener.

UnusualBoy Posted July 22 Posted July 22 But Cruel Summer was literally smashing early this year, the dramatics and even Fortnight could be considered a hit since it's been ligering in the top 20 for all of its chart run. 2
JorgeM Posted July 22 Posted July 22 …ok? She got two consecutive smash hits with Anti-Hero and Cruel Summer last year. Does she need a smash hit every year? Still fornight is bigger than any song release by any Beyonce, Ariana this year 5 1

And I'm a casual listener. nnn okay even if you thought that (I'd have thought an ATRLer would know better but sure), Anti-Hero happened 18 months ago and that was just as big Even if you won't consider cardigan a hit because it never got huge radio play, which is a restrictive definition for the streaming era but is at least justifiable, there's no ******* way you can exclude Anti-Hero and it's 8 weeks at #1 and 29 weeks in the top 10, nor the fact that it's one of the most successful songs of the 2020s so far in the US 2

ForgottenSoul Posted July 22 Posted July 22 (edited) Fortnight was a hit but people can live in their own worlds. Its also better for an album to stream well over just 1/2 songs. Anti Hero was also a hit Edited July 22 by ForgottenSoul

There's way too much significance assigned to a 3 minute teaser compared to the full body of work from which it originates. You ate that. Louder for the people in the back People really forget the importance of albums. They give us the whole picture of an artist and what they're all about. The singles are just supposed to be the highlights of something bigger. Or at least that's how it should be. 3

Trent W Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Honestly if you wanna drag Taylor there is a lot of material right now, like the quality of her latest 2 albums and the unnecessary promo tactics But she is a hit maker, let's not make stuff up, she is definitely a hit maker. Cruel summer could be her last big hit, but I think she will pass Rihanna and Mariah with quick #1s like Fornight, Willow or ATW at the rate she's releasing and dropping albums, which will spark a massive conversation in a few years 1 5

SinnerCity Posted July 22 Posted July 22 Is there some sort of competition going on between @Lagerfeldand @vale9001 to find out who's the stupidest poster on ATRL or what? 1 1

There's way too much significance assigned to a 3 minute teaser compared to the full body of work from which it originates. Katy, for example, probably has a larger quantity of "bigger" hits than Taylor, but Taylor is about 10x bigger an artist than Katy is. Because Taylor's main focus has always been albums and tours. The things that actually make a legendary artist legendary. Singles are much more relevant culturally than albums. 1
