Have yall seen those ATT TS NOW things? All I've seen are screencaps of the transcripts of two videos where She talks about Best Day and Mean. I assume all of the videos are out, though, because they're numbers 8 and 13, or something.

Yes, all the videos are out. Nothing special tho, mostly just random videos from years ago. There are behind-the-scenes from Mean, White Horse and 22.

During Speak Now era we're not even top 20 on iTunes so this is soooo much better..

Oh boy... That sounds way less good than I hoped.

I can't be bothered finding ya'll a link but the new New Zealand Prime Minister Bill English just quoted Taylor in what I think was his first speech as PM at parliament. If you want a cute little "but ATRL said she had no impact" thread for some cheap kiis, go find it.

#2 in 2016 is probably selling less than #37 in 2011.

I also think they havent filmed it
But the video must come before the movie to build the hype
January release makes sense the most, also it's after the radio freeze

Ya'll are so extra with IDWLF and its slayage. Like, it's doing miles better than all ha other soundtrack singles. Stop it.

People are being extra with the performance of this song. First, bruno did the voice finale and carpool and I believe has a ton of airplay. He is doing the absolute most he can as far as promotion goes. He's not sitting back doing nothing making these gains.

Second this is a Zayn song. She is only featured on it, they are using her name as Zayn & Taylor instead of featuring her because they are trying to get more sales. If you listen to the song he sings most of it, he sings forever before she even comes in with her verse, then he even joins in with her. It is clear by the radio interview he did she gave him this song solo and he asked her to join him on the track.

Saying all that to say this. This is not going to sell as well up front as a solo Taylor track or as a track where she is lead. Plus its a 50 shades song another knock against the sales from her fanbase.

Essentially she is getting one of her biggest sound track debuts in one of the worse sales climates and as a feature only. That is doing amazingly well.

She has helped with the sales because imo, zayn would not be doing nearly 200k with a soundtrack single in 2016 on his own.

Could be worse, have you seen where his buddy Louis (who released only one day after) is sitting on itunes.

I'm still kinda disappointed with the sales. Ngl. But of course the lack of promo and music video hurts its sales. But i guess the song is not performing well beacause that's what taylor wanted it to be.

Her lead singles sells so much because of huge hype and promo. This is just a quick little single. I'm still hoping she can still sell even on this climate. I want to see those 200k weeks again with her album.

It's a soundtrack single. Did y'all expect it to smash like Shake It Off?

180k is a fantastic number. iTunes performance just seems a bit better than that.

We didn't. It's her 2nd highest selling soundtrack, 4th highest selling single this year (and highest for a female). Delusional ATRL members whose favs barely sell 99k with their lead single did though or at least pretend to have expected it to sell 500k just to post some dumb comment.

I was looking at this top songs decade end predictions and how are IKYWT so low, below songs that it clearly outsold like Stereo Hearts, Raise Your Glass, Like a G6, Just a Dream, DJ Got Us Falling In Love, etc

WANEGBT is not even there when it outsold songs like Mirrors, The Monster, Only Girl in the World, Rude Boy, etc

it's so unfair

[alltoowell13]

Green update but Hallelujah is coming. All of those "chart exceptions" (Voice, Bruno with 73238 promo events and now Christmas songs) preventing her from going #1 again. However, considering IDWLF didn't really have any promo (except for Zayn's radio interviews where it was mentioned in 1-2 questions) it's doing extremely well and it has been #1 WW since the release.

[Ribs]

Any predictions for the opening week of the TS6's lead single ?
My bet is 323K

What if she hasn't tweeted about her birthday yet because she'll do it on Friday and will be like "Thank you for the birthday wishes. I've got something for you: IDWLF YT link"..
