Hit Me Hard and Soft at #4, wow the longevity

Her gradual ascent to the top in every key market is probably the main reason why she'll still continue to dominate in the next decade.

Shes now entering peak Rih/Madonna territory in Europe but is yet to truly solidify her both album and single presence there, Europe is finally waking up to Taylor Swift after nearly 14 years of little to no noise outside of Red and 1989.

I wonder what it was about Midnights that captured the European market badly, it doesnt sound at all like whats trendy over there.

The album was released in October!

@Doctor Dick assured me that Taylor would never match Gaga's peak (Born This Way) in European countries.

Not hard to turn on Germany with the current far-right government. Save us

So we can safely add Germany to the list of countries that she's local to?

Frontloaded album TTPD two years in the top 10? Above the new album from a certain "global" singer?

not surprised since far right party AFD has been rising lately. it makes sense.

What kind of absolutely disgusting comment. You all need to stop using serious issues as a "joke" to feed fan wars and your hate on a pop star.

So I guess Abracadabra being Gaga's first solo top 10 hit there since Applause is also due to the political climate? Idiot.

The list of uncool things is ever growing! The entire general public of Germany, the rest of Europe, North America, Asia and Oceania, the Grammys, Time Magazine, Paul McCartney, Dolly Parton, Bruce Springsteen, Zohran Mamdami. Good thing you're not on this list, that makes you so unique and cool!

I think some of you are being incredibly foolish and letting this stan thing go way too far.

OT: It's been incredible to see Taylor gain such success in Europe over the years. She went from a minor popstar to the biggest international act there in a span of like four years.

Telling someone to calm down when you came in here enraged, comparing Taylor Swift to the ******* AFD

This is why people feel how they do about Little Monsters

it seems like Showgirl is doing that though, Ophelia is doing super well and Opalite has great peaks. Cruel Summer didn't get a true moment but seems to be collecting certs. She may not have the GP support of Rih/Madonna but the fanbase is on lock. Next she needs to conquer France imo.
