Solaria Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 No denying that it is a commercial smash, but judging by the fact that albums like Lover and Folklore are outstreaming Midnights… will TTPD be able to have longevity in the long run? It doesn't have a hit like Cruel Summer or a cult classic like August/Cardigan to carry it. 5 2 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardBambi Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Tbh no, it has no hits whatsoever so it will not be remembered on the long run even though it was and still is smashing the album charts 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

diemoehre Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Commercial success still counts as success, doesn't it? A 2.4mil debut is unheard of these days, as are 12 weeks at number 1, unless you're Morgan Wallen. Yes, she had countless variants but it will still be remembered for the above things and for its smart marketing and Taylor's ability to persuade people to buy the same album multiple times. 1 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrows Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 It's having a really similar reception to reputation, but with much more commercial longevity and popularity. It's probably gonna end up somewhere in the middle of her albums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feanor Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 (edited) Considering how all her albums after her debut album are still charting and being consumed and listened to all over the world, I'm inclined to say yes. Edited July 29 by Feanor 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska. Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Is it even remembered now besides the discussions about the several versions that are avaliable to purchase? I wish critics were even harsher on the album so Taylor could go back to how things were going with folklore and evermore. Either that or an album with well crafted pop songs. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erreur2 La Nature Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 Despite performing really well commercially speaking, it does not feel popular irl and doesn't have some iconic songs/videos/performances/moments so I doubt it. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bosque Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I mean people are pretending like Lover and Midnights aren't remembered albums despite the fact that both are still charting well inside the Top 50 (often inside the Top 20-30) around the globe so I doubt you will get an unbiased answer here 10 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iamanearthling Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 More remembered than anything released this year for sure. Like her normal albums. 🤷🏻♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her debut, Speak Now (unfortunately) and Evermore aren't really remembered by the GP globally, and I think despite their streams right now which are fueled by her peak Reputation, Midnights and TTPD won't be that remembered either. Her remembered albums will likely be Fearless, Red, 1989, Folklore and for some reason Lover. Edited July 29 by CaptainMusic 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peroxide Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I really think TTPD is going to be much more remembered than Midnights and maybe even Lover… because at its core - it's an excellent body of work. People will be much kinder to the record in 10 years or so… wouldn't be surprised if we get a lot of retrospective reviews further down the line re-evaluating the work… similar to Reputation. That being said, once the tour is done I think she needs a proper era with multiple singles… this "one and done" approach since Folklore just feels like she's rushing through as many projects as she can before the hype starts to dip. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 It will. Weather people like it or not it's still the album that smashed many records so just for that it will. Also who's to say that in 3 years it won't be more appreciated in a hindsight. And which Taylor except the first two is not still talked about to be fair? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah she could easily score many number 1 songs on the Hot 100 and in the UK now with her streaming power alone. She should make another 1989 level catchy record again. I would love that.
