Ya, IF this uh...'pattern/trend' continues through the week (remember TOTC early predictions were like at 2 am on Mon.) at best, they're accounting that 3rd week at #1 for ALL the remaining physicals that have yet to be shipped tomm., I believe. But streaming is what I think it's solely at the mercy of now. With the physicals they at least basically have a grasp on specific #s. Streaming is all unknown. A 6 point lead don't think isn't exactly durable lol.

Oh my. Ouch. But...happy for Taylor goal was achieved lol. I want her to get the all time #1 record. But PLZ try to chill, gasp for air, refresh, re-invent (like from 2017-'19/'20) & create the need vs oversaturating. Atp, prob. not even wise to drop 20 yr old self titled TV. *Any new drops shouldn't be until spring '27 at the earliest sorry not sorry. Until X-mas (after this week) we're highly likely gonna deal w/ another multi week IKIIKY-esque logjam (Ella #1, Taylor #2 for many weeks). Taylor will likely have the radio support by then to keep her stabilized.

With the steep daily declines in streaming P0 (even w/ the final physicals being shipped Tues. 10/13) it still may not be enough to offset CT. We'll see the next few days #s of Spotify, Apple Music etc...but P0 is now really starting to fall quickly now. I still feel Taylor/her team will make sure they eke it out. But unless an unexpected Adele, Beyonce or Rihanna lol single drop, Ella has #1 (another ~4-5 weeks) until Mariah, Wham, Brenda or whoever. Also, wasn't Ella very receptive to dropping an 'acoustic version' of CT? If she drops that this this week she very likely exceeds the ~6 point difference. Maybe she didn't feel they needed to but a bit surprised Ella/her team haven't dropped more versions to try to get closer to 30 weeks instead of 'just' 25 lol.

Soo...what's left far as what her team has left & preserved in their not even semi subtle chart crazed bag of tricks? lol The vinyl dump/shipping next week? Then (basically like IKIIKY) all she'll have left is radio as CT returns to #1 until X-Mas? Maybe MJ gets a week w/ Thriller. Keep saying I def. want Taylor to get the all time #1 record but not feeling these desperate tactics ESP w/ universally agreed utter gunk-mid songs at best. When we all know she could do waay better! Love Story, You Belong W/ Me, I Knew You Were Trouble all missed #1 but Is It Over Now, IKIKY, P0 etc...are multi week #1s? Hmm, K.

Ya, I would luvv better quality but also want Taylor to get the all time single #1 record. We all know it's not just when but not even being subtle about it atp lol. She's coming like a freight train. Fast & furious before the age of 40 yold. Highly likely a key factor in the sense of urgency w/ singles (vs albums in the late 2010s-early.'20s) She & her team have the system down to a science w/ ruthless precision (flawless timing of what gets released & when it drops). So who in their semi same mind thinks anything is gonna stop them? Lol.

But is she even able to? Like I said, (who the hell knows if what I'm reading is legit, bots, click bait) but seeing quite a few people on X etc...insisting & some even showing screenshots of it saying 'shipped'. Dunno if it's a possible glitch w/ the mailing carrier & if they're even able to 'move up' all those pre orders a week early.

I'm seeing quite a # of people claiming Taylor's CD singles of P0 actually are actually shipping/shipped now (instead of next week or whenever). Dunno if Talk Of The Charts calculated that or not. Not just the risk of physicals being moved up but also various digital versions etc...being dropped at any moment.

^ but the fact she is about to turn 37 aka closing in very quickly to...FORTY I actually think she's only gonna accelerate more w/ all these abrupt/out of nowhere singles (or at the min. super short notice like she gave w/ the deluxe). Esp. when she sees still able to get 4 #1s in 1 calendar year. She simply needs to do what she's done the last year over the next 1-2 years max. She reeally wants the all time #1 record and is def. feeling the heat of that very big b-day. No, 40 isn't 'old' but it's absolutely not young in the pop world. Just leave it at that lol.

Ya, that 'cr*ppy' Chart Prediction site (so many people called it) lol I def. think was onto something. CT highly likely back to #1 on Spotify today (will post tomm.) and back to #1 for the week of 10/17. Unless Taylor drops a ton of remixes, variants etc...this week asap. CT also thisclose to #1 again on iTunes rn and ahead on Apple Music. I'm thrilled Taylor has the 16th #1 locked up. That was key. But you gotta look at the trends. Only 2-3 days into the tracking week. Ella still has a huge radio lead. Still actually gaining. I think Taylor's physical pre orders aren't getting shipped (as of now) until 10/9?

Ya, thinking this is mostly if not entirely due to the music video premiere? How much did Opalite fall the day or 2 after? Happy she's got the 16th #1 absolutely on lock this week. But CT seems to reeally be itching to come back next week.

I'm in the camp that this was a last minute 'deluxe version' NOT a brand new album. But barely a year ago didn't she insist no more new/additional songs from this? The GP doesn't break it all down/overthink like that lol. They're simply well aware Taylor has new music out so by default look at it as a 'brand new album' whether it's deluxe, EP or whatever. I def. want Taylor to break the #1 singles record, continued mega success but NOT at the expense of artistic integrity. She really should've tried to listen & respect to what the gp (esp. her hardcore fans) were truly hungry for. Not this lol but Taylor's 20 year old TV w/ ya, a new or reworked single from *that.

Ugh...ya Taylor very luckily locked in/padded her #1 debut & 16th #1 (great) that 1st and 2nd day. But, ya, I think Ella is lassoing #1 again next week if these declines continue?

Def. wanted her to get that #1 debut (and obv. another #1). I want her to get the all time *record! lol She's clearly churning in the Atlantic in 90 degree bath water for it, obviously lol (level of hunger) the fact this will be her FOURTH in 1 year. This will put her at 16. So at the min. just duplicating the same effort (regardless of how people feel about the quality of the songs). By 2027/early '28 4 more 1s= 20 (simply doing what she did in the last year). Who in the actual F thinks she's stopping until IT happens!? lol That all said, I'm still not at all ruling out Choosing Texas returning to #1 maybe next week or the week after or just whenever. Ya, Taylor's physicals are coming but CT just isn't simmering down much. Many are only first connecting w/ it now! lol.

^ exactly! If not end of Sept. someone big was very highly likely coming in Oct. at the latest. Adele, Drake, Billie, Beyonce etc...ESP w/ the charts & state of big new releases so stagnant. I refuse to believe all the record companies were gonna just let Ella & Stella coast w/out at least attempting to drop something from someone else. But it's less about 'Ella' lol & the timing of the year. It's almost a given *something big drops in Oct.

But you think Mariah is thrilled that Taylor will then be just 3 #1s from tying her & blatantly coming hard for her AND the Beatles? lol Ya, 'longest #1' is big but *most #1 singles ever= a way more BFD.
