I’m lowering to 350-400k. The performance of Positions thus far isn’t great (especially in the pure sales department which is important for first-week sales).

77K this week for Taylor. So, I’m not sure how accurate that twitter person was, claiming 56k+ signed cd’s were sold in the US, when only 57k of her 77k figure were pure sales.

This is good since it could mean there were potentially around 5k CD’s not shipped yet and saved for next week which will make the fall marginally less humiliating💀

You guys overestimate Taylor as a frontrunner in AOTY. She has already won twice and the album whether Swifties would like to admit or not, came and went. The only reason it’s still selling well is because Taylor releases the signed version of the album every week. The streams are freefalling and Cardigan had terrible callouts on radio. Both Fearless and 1989 had smash hits and this has none nor it was designed to be. It wil get nominated, sure, because it’s different from what she would usually do and is baity but the frontrunners in this category are Fiona and Abel.

I doubt she wins twice as well but there are some false things here:

1) Streams are not freefalling, they’ve stabilized

2) cardigan’s callouts weren’t that bad, it just struggled due to low familiarity (which means less people had a reaction so a small percentage thought positively because they didn’t know the song)

3) The album was still selling a decent amount in physical copies, so no, that’s not the only reason it’s selling well

Y’all try to make this album out like it’s some incredible flop when it isn’t. You do need to take genre into account as well. This album is not remotely commercial, has no current single and less playlisting than Smile. Despite that it has done very well. Of course it might not be (and probably isn’t) enough to win AOTY but can we not pretend that it tanked?

This says voters are heavy hearted and they might vote with songs that resonate with that, this is good for folklore since it sounds mellow and melancholic. Of course this goes both ways where voters might also go with something upbeat, Natalie pointed out both possibilities. This isn’t really any new information.

I mean, looks like folklore’s run at number 1 will be preserved at least.

Could you explain this? I really have a hard time seeing the committee putting them in since the song just isn’t very liked at all. They could get in BPDGP just from the any amount of ARMY’s voting but I can’t see them doing well with committees, unless the BRP solely wants them in to appease their fans.

Both #exile and #betty have the special emoji. Maybe a double music video release for the pop and country singles? They took away the emoji for #cardiganMusicVideo too…
