I giggled at “projected” … look at the gap 😩it’s literally not even a competition. She very much so is in a league of her own. She deserves all her crowns and trophies
This will likely be the end of the 11 week streak. Next week is Zach Bryant who should be able to pull 200k and week after is Eminem who’ll probably get 200k+ as well. So probably be week starting 7/19 that she’ll have chance to go back to number one and grab a few more weeks.
She has the anthology still that she can utilize to gain back some numbers. Release the anthology physicals, and that is an easy 100k+ boost, she’d have to use that next week/this Thursday. After next week they might start focusing on repTV announcement efforts
honestly she could pull those numbers if she just released a bunch of signed CDs. it’s not technically new content but they sell out instantly and i’ve yet to get one but would love one. i can’t imagine too many fans would be upset if she released more of those rather than releasing those weird “acoustic” ones.
Those would certainly pull numbers, but I don't think it can do anywhere near enough to block Eminem, who hasn't had an album debut lower than #1 since years before Debut, especially when his latest album is way more hyped than any of his albums in years.
Anthology has to be completely ready to ship by this week, not just buy. Vinyls and CDs count when they are shipped, not purchased. Nothing is shipping on Thursday due to 4th of July. I also kinda don’t expect an Anthology vinyl to be released. From a business side, yes it could pull album numbers, but that’s only accessible on streaming helps those numbers stay higher even if the streaming doesn’t count for as many album units.
I forgot about the July 4th weekend, maybe she can release some more signed CD’s instead? She’d need something to release soon tho, and the warehouse would need things in packages ready to ship, just a label needed to get things sent away?
They just have to be scanned in to the shipping company iirc?
Like they could easily have them all prepackaged rn and ready to ship. Just needa sticker and send, plus the new warehouse is way more efficient right now.
I’d assume that would’ve been leaked by now if so, since I imagine for the Anthology numbers to count it would have to have the original tracks too, so vinyl orders would be 2 discs/4 sides instead of just the 1 disc/2 sides…not sure that could physically be kept a secret for so long
She could just do cds now and vinyl later. She released the acoustic songs and voice memos and the fortnight single on cd only as well. Cds are way easier and more important faster to produce
She could! I guess we’ll see. I’ll personally be really amazed if she ever releases Anthology in physical formats, whether it’s this week or next year. Hell I’m still right where she left me waiting on the 3AM drop…lol
Post release singles for Taylor don’t tend to boost her much. 15 million US stream boost is only about 10-12k album units. So unless there is some kind of digital album trick, it looks like Taylor will probably let Zach and Eminem have their weeks. Maybe in 3 weeks, there’ll be some kind of album based promo to boost her for a few more weeks.
As a massive Eminem fan as well if she drops the anthology at the same time my wallet is screwed but also lowkey I’ll be annoyed. I think the top of the billboard game is just getting tiring imo why couldn’t you have released physicals when it came out like normal? As much as I want a physical of the anthology it makes me feel like a pawn in the game when stuff drops seemingly timed to also have max impact on the charts (outside of initial release of course) which I really don’t enjoy.
The video of her breaking down on stage absolutely destroyed me. I hope she has a good support system right now - I’d read somewhere that a couple of pop girlies reached out to her to kind of mentor her but idk how true that is. I hope so.
Have people been reasonable about any of it? It’s been proven that even if she didn’t do anything, she would’ve still gotten number 1 instead of Billie. But all people can focus on is that she puts out new variants.
Fwiw the album sales shouldnt be weighted so lightly. I feel like she should really be at number 2, but with streaming the rankings will never truly have that much meaning again
I don't understand this thought. Do the artists/fans of artists really want participation trophies? Either you really beat Swizzle or you didn't. ......
Answer: You didn't.
TS<3!
Wow @ Morgan
This is the kind of stability we wish Midnights had.
As for ttpd... that's probably it. 11 weeks at #1. Well... it is the longest female #1 album consecutively and overall too so it probably will be very hard to beat for the rest of the decade so we can just leave it at that
I think next week there’s the big release and the week after Eminem. I expect Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, and Bruno Mars to have big weeks too.
And I expect a big first weeks sales for Sabrina. She has 2 big hit singles already.
Gaga and Abel don't have a set date, same for Bruno.
None of them are going to Crack the 250k mark. Abel has no physical activity at all, gaga has no streaming power. None of these people are going to score bigger first weeks than Billie did, including Sabrina.
That being said, taylor won't double her sales for each week just by releasing more digital versions of acoustic songs. Most fans are not interested anymore. And anthology cds will need to be ready to ship before they sell so they'll need to be up for sale weeks before they're shipped.
Today they announced they started shipping those cds from 3-4 weeks ago so she's looking to block that country guy. Let's see how that goes. His biggest day of release will count towards week 1, the other 6 days count towards week 2. Idk why he did that but if taylor plays her cards right, this might cost him the #1
I absolutely expect Sabrina to debut at number one and hope she does, she’s having quite a year and her tour sold out super fast. Eminem will have a huge first week, he tends to sell a lot of physicals. Will see what Luke Bryan does next week.
113k in your 11th week…insane 👸 Taylegend

The secondary market for these is crashing if it’s any consolation. I regularly see them on sale for $50-60.
$50-60?! Reeeeaaalllly now??? /slinks off to eBay
True, she could even do a whole different signed variant, big time numbers from that
Those would certainly pull numbers, but I don't think it can do anywhere near enough to block Eminem, who hasn't had an album debut lower than #1 since years before Debut, especially when his latest album is way more hyped than any of his albums in years.
Imagine that chaos if she blocks eminem
“It’s anti-feminist to block a man from his deserved #1!” lol 😉
A man does something, it's strategic, a woman does the same, it's calculated.
You can not be as smart as her and not be calculated. The Mastermind is always steps ahead. This is not a bad thing. TS<3!

It takes too long to ship physicals for that to work. It’s ok. She’s done enough.
They just have to be scanned in to the shipping company iirc? Like they could easily have them all prepackaged rn and ready to ship. Just needa sticker and send, plus the new warehouse is way more efficient right now.

Hahah same! But there’s a record to be broken for here so I have some hope!
I could see her putting clues for rep vault song titles in the ttpd lyrics on Spotify, etc.... would be a way to get more people listening.
Any chance that new streaming for the new single will be enough to a boost to buy Taylor another week at #1?

Chappell 😭😭 I’m so gd happy for her
I really really really hope she eventually gets top 1. The rise and fall of a miswest pricess is SO GOOD
Came here to say this!!! I can’t believe her story. I hope she’s dealing with the sudden stardom okay ❤️❤️
The video of her breaking down on stage absolutely destroyed me. I hope she has a good support system right now - I’d read somewhere that a couple of pop girlies reached out to her to kind of mentor her but idk how true that is. I hope so.
The best thing to me is that she still has Lover siting at 19, just to fill things out
11 weeks you say... ✌ https://preview.redd.it/fu578vtcx6ad1.jpeg?width=810&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=677f638d76c7b6e65fea13be27f2c4795feaca52
Bet she will be accused of blocking MTG.
At #3?!?
She got accused of blocking Charli who only debuted at 3 so I wouldn’t be surprised.
She got accused of blocking Charli in the UK where Brat debuted at 2 and Taylor released some UK exclusive digitals.
Taylor outsold her without the need for those digital, which only did 1k sales.
She was also accused of blocking her in the U.S.
Have people been reasonable about any of it? It’s been proven that even if she didn’t do anything, she would’ve still gotten number 1 instead of Billie. But all people can focus on is that she puts out new variants.
Fwiw the album sales shouldnt be weighted so lightly. I feel like she should really be at number 2, but with streaming the rankings will never truly have that much meaning again
Noooo not Magic The Gathering
Then they better say it about Morgan too, that album is old and also beating hers lol.
Morgan is male so they don't think that's intentional.
Who is MTG?
I don't understand this thought. Do the artists/fans of artists really want participation trophies? Either you really beat Swizzle or you didn't. ...... Answer: You didn't. TS<3!
And people will tell you TTPD is a flop. Lmao.
It is. No one is listening to it and all the songs sound the same. /s Also I can stop listening to it whenever want!
[удалено]
The /s is for being sarcastic and the “stop listening to” line is how addicted I am to the album. 😆
I DIDNT SEE IT IM BLIND ahhh I'm so sorry I'll delete it rn I'm stupid. I love that you're addicted 😍 me too🫶🏻
Chappell is doing so well!!
Wow @ Morgan This is the kind of stability we wish Midnights had. As for ttpd... that's probably it. 11 weeks at #1. Well... it is the longest female #1 album consecutively and overall too so it probably will be very hard to beat for the rest of the decade so we can just leave it at that
Not if I have anything to say about it
TTPD has become my favorite Taylor Swift album, so stoked to see it still killing it after 11 weeks! Well deserved.
Stream and stream!!! Let's get this to 13 weeks!!!! I hope she release more singles and the anthology physicals
Unrelated but: Camila Cabello at #16? That seems very low for her.
For reference: Camila debuted at #1 Romance #3 Familia #10 Looks like she's been steadily dropping 😬
The album is… not great
I’m a Camila fan but this album is not good, she went in a new direction and I don’t think it worked
Lover hanging in there at 19 🥺
3 albums with more than 10 weeks at number 1, one in each different decade. Most impressive
11 weeks secured
And she is still selling albums. Look at Billie. No one is buying her album (no diss to Billie I like her music).
Her power! 😩✒️📖 👏👏👏

Zach Bryan and Eminem will definitely take the #1 spot in the next two weeks. After that, TTPD could regain the spot.
CHAPPELL AT NUMBER FIVE YEAH
Morgan wallen shouldn’t even be up there. 1400 albums. It should be based off sales and streams not radio play- that’s all pay to play. So dumb
LFG!!!
Chappell Roan moving up to 5 is crazy and warms my heart.
Oh no she’s not a girls girl because she’s beating Megan 🙄
Go Meg
I could see her holding that spot for the rest of the year unless Sabrina has a crazy launch week
I think next week there’s the big release and the week after Eminem. I expect Lady Gaga, The Weeknd, and Bruno Mars to have big weeks too. And I expect a big first weeks sales for Sabrina. She has 2 big hit singles already.

how do the already sold singles count towards album sales when the album drops? Are they just ignored?
The Weeknd release will absolutely dominate streaming that’s for sure. Curious how his vinyls will do.
I'm actually really curious to see how well his new project performs after how hard The Idol flopped.
I absolutely expect Sabrina to debut at number one and hope she does, she’s having quite a year and her tour sold out super fast. Eminem will have a huge first week, he tends to sell a lot of physicals. Will see what Luke Bryan does next week.
