What_A_Mess Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 When it was released as a single, people were saying it was a front loaded flop and not a true hit. Yet 10 years later it's still charting on radio? Why? https://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2024/08/09/taylor-swifts-bad-blood-taylors-version-is-an-unexpected-radio-smashand-its-only-getting-bigger/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breakdown Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 what's more interesting to me is the fact that when the album came out a big chunk of her fanbase really liked bad blood but as soon as it became a single the swiffers switched like ******* and now they're making it out to be one of her worst songs ever. OT: yes, i guess, i mean it was naturally "frontloaded" due to the event of the mv and remix, but it does surprise me that this is the song radios decided to pay attention to now 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theluckyone Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 It was always guaranteed to be a hit from the start; and her performing it on the eras tour also cements it as one of her enduring hits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popboi. Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I mean, it's absolutely the least liked single of the main 5 in 1989 now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naval23 Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 isn't one of the least streamed of 1989 singles? Radio saved it - even Wildest Dreams had a lower peak on radio but better longevity and outranked it on the 2015 Airplay Year End charts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badidearight Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 it's always been one of my least fav singles of hers but seeing it live changed my mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor fanboy Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 I mean Bad Blood alone has more GRAMMYs like some other eras have in total each. I say it's a WINNER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still can't believe that one didn't make the Top 10, while Bad Blood TV ended up being the highest charting of the 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
