Its performance in Apple Music has been very solid so far, and radio hasn't touched it yet.

Is "FDO" going to be the first big hit of 2026? @Armani.

Ella should definetely be challenging for Top 10, even Top 5.

I'm slightly surprised it's holding up that well 3rd week, because it's 5 minutes long. But regardless, it was probably going top 10 after Christmas. There's no competition

A pretty good song also

Oh, the YouTube thing will hurt him when it kicks in. It's doing well on there

let's go FDO!!!

In the decade+ since Taylor left country, only two female songs cracked the top 10 of both Hot 100 and country radio:
Meant to Be
I Hope
Both had men, and both had a Pop artist.

So Choosin' Texas doing this would be huge. Even Carrie only had Before he Cheats in the 2000s (plus her duet with male artist Randy Travis that was a cover of his song from the 80s).

I hope Where Is My Smash eventually goes top 10.

CMON RAYE!

I am very curious about what the chart looks like after all the Christmas tunes finish their holiday season. Will "Ophelia" get back to #1?

It should, and will probably overstay its welcome.

I'm just glad it's already ACR on the UK chart.

Where is The Dead Dance? Is it back?

Yes

No, I think Golden goes back to #1, and by the time YouTube stops counting on the Hot 100, Man I Need would have already passed Ophelia.

So basically Ophelia would've been at like 12 weeks at #1 by now

Yes.

But we need the audience to get Man I Need to #1 in early 2026. Then So Easy thereafter. C'mon Deans of Taste, come through.

y'all might be overestimating man i need. that song already peaked on every platform but radio…

Hopefully at least 10 weeks for Ophelia, then Opalite is smashing from January till March

Let's go for those 10 weeks

WIMH already going to outpeak Escapism, I knew she could get another hit if she actually put her mind to it

Also I'm not a country music fan but I know how awful the genre is to female artists these days, so I hope that Ella song goes all the way

I don't think the gap will be that huge in final prediction.

well, opalite top 10, let's celebrate that.

hope shiesty indeed staves off Morgan/bieber

Much rather prefer Ophelia back at #1
