Unfiltered streams hasnt come out yet, but less than 1.19M since thats #200

I find it odd it already dropped below PF and Just Dance when Mayhem era isnt totally dead yet

 

Those 2 singles truly became classics!

Taylor will end up selling 12M+ units with this one by next year at worst case so yeah... she's not flopping even if she releases 5 more albums as lukewarm as this in the next 5-7 years (and she will ). The drops don't matter much when she'll continue to occupy the top 10.

The thing I've learned to appreciate is that nowadays numbers no longer matter and they're not a sign of quality

In a couple decades, artists like Gaga will be remembered for a more relevant legacy than Taylor Swift while Swift will be remembered for her numbers 

Art >>>>> Numbers

Exactly. She may outsell Madonna but no one in the world can convince me she's on her level. She's not even on Britney's level and she's been absent for ages.

I agree Gaga will in many ways be remembered as more iconic/artistic

 

But neverthless Taylor will be remembered for the numbers and commercial success alone cuz u cant be that huge and not be remembered and considered a generational icon

 

I also wonder if there will be some nostalgia rose coloured glasses effect too. Taylor by being remembered as the female artist of this generation may make people remember her as a more impactful artistic artist than she actually was...

 

Ill give an example... the Beatles were massive AF, still the best selling act of all time (more than Elvis or MJ). I honestly think they were not that talented. Their vocals are mostly sh*t, songs are mid and their live performances were decent but lets be honest even in those days there were a lot better

 

But they created a brand, music that at the time connect to a lot of people and they were a generational phenomenom... and for being that huge and impactful they are not remembered forever as one of the most iconic bands of all time...

 

But im sorry, nothing can convince me they were any good. Even John Lenons solo.... every cover ive heard of imagine is literally better sung than the original yet its considered iconic but it sounds like someone whos dying im a hospital bed with no energy left sung it

Local act and that song has around 3B streams on Spotify and its remix has almost 900M + over 1B on YouTube too

heart radio played TDD like twice within 25 mins earlier! They also were raving about how Gaga took over London and how incredible TMB was

So do we think Taylor is going to occupy the entire top 12 of Billboard Hot100? I feel worst case scenario for her is she occupies 8 out of the top 10 positions, given how Ordinary and Golden are doing well enough to possibly remain, and the other 4 songs end up Top 20.

Either way, DWAS might narrowly escape recurrent status (going down to position 24).
