Like 31M or a little less tbh

Taylor's airplay and sales advantage should be able to cover Nicki's streaming advantage. Taylor's streams are quite big too, just not as huge as Nicki's

Did Maroon 5's Maps cross the 1 M mark yet???

It seems to me like a digital flop with good airplay!

[PurrKaty]

I think Anaconda will end the tracking week with 25-30M more WW streams on Vevo. BUT that's worldwide, we just have to wait and see how many are from the US cause the totals and gap will shrink

Also anyone know if SIO is on Spotify and how is Anaconda doing on it?

[Superpower]

Anaconda won't be #1, don't hype yourself. A top5 would be AMAZING, top3 would be just cherry on top.
Taylor got this.

It' LS/Daylight type of smash.

Animals is coming tho.

[M i x]

Anaconda will probably be @ 65-70 mil. by Sunday and 25-30 US.

[PurrKaty]

I feel like the top 5 is already written in stone for this week. I'm guessing:

1 Shake It Off debut
2 Anaconda +37
3 All About That Bass -1
4 Stay With Me -1
5 Rude -4

Bookmark me girls

BTW, if "Rude" slips to #5 it's going to be biggest drop from #1 since Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" who did the same drop in November 2013

Nope, and judging by Taylor's history regarding on-demand streaming services, won't be anytime soon.

They didn't even mention Anaconda... Either it's not a serious contender for next week's #1, or they want it to be a "surprise" "unexpected" #1...

Taylor winning again. She simply can not lose.

[Katy V.!]

I kinda want Nicki to block Taylor so her label stops with this Spotify crap

[Pikachu]

Why don't Taylor's team upload her stuff on Spotify immediately? Is that for more sales or something? It doesn't make sense to me

The stupid label uses that excuse all the time, same happened with "Trouble." and peaked at #2, so they will never learn

[UNNAMI]

they really think that if they won't put it on spotify then sales will be bigger?

I wonder if that "Sales will be bigger without Spotify" claim has any kind of fundament

It doesn't.

Roar debuted with 557k despite also being put on spotify. If you have white America willing to buy your music, spotify really isn't that damaging.

[fridayteenage]

Technically the only real way to test that theory would be time travel.

Release a song for a few weeks without Spotify.
Then go back in time and release it and put it on Spotify, and see if sales are changed.

But that's not possible.
