The song is very forgettable tbh. Everyone bought it because it's the "latest taylor swift song," and if you haven't heard/own the latest taylor swift song than the kids/adults at school/work will make fun of/bully you. Overall, I feel like this era has been a decline/decay from the RED era since at this point Taylor had like 6 top 20 hits.
You are very correct.

Yes, and that is why it is quite concerning that the song has only sold 3 million copies.

Red had 4 promo singles prior to release. 1989 had 2, and both were affected by Billboard's new rule regarding instant gratification downloads.
Blank Space helped sell the album. It's a song that appeals more to her fanbase than the gp. it's also sandwiched between two MONSTER hits (SIO and soon to be Style)

Okay, so far the song has fallen 1-2-2-3-4. How can this be interpreted as plummeting? If BS falls out of the Top 10 next week, okay, but the current trajectory is far from plummeting down the charts.
I remember in 1988, prior to the Hot 100 using electronic tracking numbers for rankings, when Michael Jackson's Dirty Diana fell from 1-5-15-30-51-77-X, meaning the song was only on the Hot 100 for five weeks after spending its one week at #1. That is plummeting down the charts!
Yes, that was the song that set the record as the fifth #1 from the same album, but it goes down as the lowest ranking/smallest #1 of the 1980s. Dirty Diana spent one week at #1, just five weeks in the Top Ten, just 11 weeks in the Top 40, and only 14 weeks on the entire Hot 100. So I guess getting that fifth #1 came with a price.
Well.... would you rather your song sell millions as a "single" or have that song make your "album" sell a few millions? Were intrigued to know which you prefer...
