Will 1989 slay the chart and sell 300k+ for Black Friday week? or 300k+ throughout December because Christmas is coming? or 500k+ during Christmas week?
Was gonna post in the album thread but it's not in page 1 anymore so I presume you discuss the album in the base ... After getting tired of playing Blank Space via youtube & numerous snippet listening sessions, I finally caved in & bought my 1st Taylor album this morning it's only been a day but i gotta say ... Absolutely.No.Regrets. !! Blank Space is still my favourite song on it but apart from the 2 singles my top 3 would be; Style, Bad blood (i always think of Katy, power of the media) and I know places.
Im curious what the fan favourites are.
Go snatch DLX from Target. All 3 bonus tracks are 10/10, imo.
My current faves are:
Blank Space
Style
I Wish You Would
Wonderland
New Romantics
This Love
^ Red increased from 144,534 in its fourth week to 185,531 in its fifth week (Black Friday week).
BS already increasing and getting green updates on iTunes before the Voice performance.
Thanks for that. So RED increased 30% on Thanksgiving week. A similar increase will but 1989 to 277k. Let us hope The Voice and Macy's plus the Best Buy discount will push 1989 higher.
1. Can Taylor Swift appear on an awards show without getting goofy?
Apparently not. After she opened the show with an over-the-top but entertaining performance of "Blank Space" complete with floating furniture, burning bushes, and a bunch of backup dancers who looked like they were cast at an "Impersonate Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance" contest she held the camera with a long, meaningful stare. But once the show went to commercial and she was walking offstage with her fellow performers, Swift flapped her arms like an overexcited chicken, clearly (and charmingly) pleased that she had nailed a complicated routine.
4. Who got to use the full stage?
Since the show was a cavalcade of hit songs with a few awards shoehorned in, handed out pretty much exclusively for people who actually showed up most performers were allotted one-half of the stage (to allow the crew to break down and set up equipment on the other half). But four acts (out of 18) had enough clout to command the entire stage. Taylor Swift for "Blank Space" well, she's the top-selling star in the business. Pitbull and Ne-Yo for a "Don't Stop the Party"-"Fireball"-"Time of Our Lives" medley sure, Pitbull was the likable if awkward host of the show. Iggy Azalea and Jennifer Lopez with "Booty" OK, it was the much-hyped show closer. Fergie with "L.A. Love (La La)" huh? Say what now?
18. Who'll end up with the greater career, Diana Ross or Taylor Swift?
Miss Ross gave the inaugural Dick Clark Award for Excellence to Tay-Tay so who has the upper hand? Both of them became superstars despite not being vocal virtuosos. Ross made her thin voice into a vulnerable trademark, scored 18 Number One singles (12 with the Supremes, six solo), and set the standard by which all other pop divas are judged. Swift is the most popular live performer in the country, has taken the celebrity breakup song to new heights, and (crucially) writes her own material. Right now, longevity gives the edge to Ross but check back in 10 or 20 years.
I just love Alex. He's just one of the coolest gay guys. Taylor obviously loves him too. I see these two eventually being very close friends/confidents' . I think he's special.
or 300k+ throughout December because Christmas is coming?
