Taylor Swift - The Tortured Poets Department (April 19, 2024) Album • Page 111

The fanbase theory is that she’s saving the anthology vinyl release for the Eminem occasion.

 

On cue.

 

she.... didn't drop an album though

 

Oh for fuck’s sake lol. Is it even humanly possible to keep a major vinyl release like that secret only days from its release? Preorders wouldn’t count towards next week’s sales since they have to actually ship the release.

 

Now you're getting into specifics.

She still released something to counter other artists.

 

I just hope they are deranged enough to go and vote in November.

 

Fact. It’d be great if Taylor endorsed someone to further encourage them all to vote in November. It’d be even more great if she knew the name of whoever the hell she is supposed to endorse.

 

Well yeah, but the whole conceit of the tweet is that Taylor is going to see Sabrina and Chappel's singles entering the Top 10 which will spur her to release an album to block them, which first off doesnt make sense because she isn't even in contention for the Hot 100. I'm just saying this tweet didn't predict anything

 

But she still did the thing.

 

yes, but again, nothing about the shared tweet is alligned with that.

I guarantee there were thousands of tweets that predicted "Taylor will release something new to block Zach Bryan this week"

 

The comments on this are hilarious. Dozens of Swifties melting down and crying for the fanbase to “DO SOMETHING.”

Anyway, team Zach Bryan.

 

They should cry harder, she's had ten weeks at the top

 

Team I love both

 

You know I do as well. But man, I hate hate hate her zealot fans.

 

Also, the raw album sales numbers there show 1) how effective Taylor's CD release strategy has really been, and 2) how NOT close this race would be if Zach had physical media ready to go on release day.

 

That chart is fascinating for a lot of reasons. Where is Dua Lipa? Who is still buying almost 5,000 copies of Lover five years later? Do people who stream Zach Bryan only stream Zach Bryan for all three to be there?

 

#StreamZach

 

I've come to the conclusion that there are a lot of sickos who only listen to 1-2 artists. Taylor, Wallen, Zach, they're all proof of this.

 

Without knowing who he is, is Ken Carson just Ben Carson trying to soft launch a pop music career?

 

re: Lover, part of me thinks it might be the fact that vinyl hadn't widely been available outside of Target until recently? could be wrong tho

 

Snap.

 

My numbers aren’t as high… but this is only back to 1/1/23.

 

Jason, we both know you listen to a shit ton of stuff by artists other than just those two!

 

i did it for the lols
