That top 10 is an absolute joke. Billboard slides ever further into irrelevance by allowing this.

At least one of the only decent tracks is due to become the big hit

digital sales are still sales, so they would be available to purchase before the album

however there hasn't been many opportunities for an album release day lead to debut at #1 without pure sales, hence why it hasn't happened sooner

but again, who still buys digital singles in the streaming era ...

Thank you for educating those less intellectually fortunate.  

And for all the haters here:

you can't stop talking about her yet for some reason seem so surprised at her relevance.  Does that really make sense?

And the song is actually great songwriting.  It's hard to make a song so cohesive; it's rare to have a song that doesn't have weird awkward moments. It's hard to make a song flow thru sections so seamlessly.  The video is likewise a coherent masterpiece. 

Taylor's secret formula is understanding neurodivergent art and then translating it the creatively impaired neurotypical audience... who are the vast majority. 

She knows how to tickle their boring little brains so that they can get a taste of imagination they don't have.  She takes what Lady Gaga does and then feeds it to the idiots in a way that their little minds can understand.  

Some of your best trolling. Masterful work.

You know, I'm glad someone appreciated.  I came out for taylor strong but then I got her and her fans good in the end and I'm happy someone appreciated.

Why does it feel like  the rules change every time she releases something? Then she becomes the number 1 for this and that ... ?

Taylor's power is undeniable and her fandom is huge. She obviously has a lot of loyal fans who support her no matter what she does. 

But I agree that this particular project, is just not her best. The album has received sub par reviews from the critics and that's how we know it's just not her best work.

i mean she has a wide audience: from MAGA gays to tasteless twinks
