Ok, I was kinda unfair to This Love. As an individual track it's legit a 9. Even a 10 when you're in the mood.

Taylor Swift's '1989' Has Outsold Her Last Two Albums
After just 19 weeks of release, Taylor Swift's 1989 has now outsold both of her last two albums.
(It seems the pop music thing is working out just fine for the diva, eh? 1989 is her first all-pop album after four country sets.)
1989 sold another 44,000 copies in the week ending March 8, according to Nielsen Music, lifting the title's total sales to 4.505 million. 1989 already surpassed the sales of Swift's last album, 2012's Red (4.160 million after 124 weeks), a few weeks ago, while 1989 now jumps past her earlier album, 2010's Speak Now (4.480 million after 228 weeks) in the latest tracking week.
1989 was the top selling album of 2014 (3.661 million sold that year) and remains the top seller of 2015 so far (844,000). It famously debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 1.287 million sold in its first week.
Selling millions of albums is nothing new for Swift, of course. The new twist to her sales story is 1989's sales rate. In merely 19 weeks, it has surpassed the sales of what was her third-biggest seller, which has been on sale for 228 weeks.
Next up on Swift's personal hit list: her self-titled 2006 debut (5.492 million) and her biggest seller, 2008's Fearless (6.909 million).
For those keeping score, Swift's cumulative album sales (including her five her studio efforts, and other assorted live sets, EPs, etc.) now stand at 27.67 million. In terms of album sales, she is the seventh-largest selling female artist since Nielsen began tracking sales in 1991.

Fearless almost 7x platinum 
& I just calculated that her average album sales is 5.1092 million as of today

I want to give Treacherous a 10 but I don't think it's on WANEGBT/IKYWT/ATW level just yet (It's still growing on me )

I don't think so. The 4 songs above it are still increasing and Sterile is about to peak. But it has a slight chance next week if doesn't starts to fall on radio and its sales and streaming are stable.

And sales are weighted more than airplay on hot 100 and since FFS currently has a huge lead of sales over Sterile, we would have to wait a week or two for FFS sales to drop and Sterile sales to be stable for it to pass FFS.

Britney praises 1989!

On show nights, she'll spend an hour getting her hair and makeup done while rocking out to Taylor Swift's 1989 ("It's so much fun -- 'Out of the Woods' is a good one") before heading downstairs for a prayer with her team

FFS sales are dropping faster than Style's though, at least last week. The sales gap between Style and the top selling track is smaller than it has ever been as well. Style at 0.5382 on latest kworb update. As you say, if Style maintains it's sales and shows continued longevity it could outlast the songs above it to rise a few places. Uptown Funk and LMLYD are already dropping in the UK, their time may be coming to an end in the US too.
Style has massive airplay, and airplay is the Hot 1000 factor that is often the slowest to rise and fall than the others, and can really maintain a song's longevity on the charts. A recent example is Animals, which still was charting really highly when it's sales had long since declined due it's airplay.

BB has changed the rules for weighting sales, airplay and streaming since Animals was released though. I don't how much they changed the weight for airplay but they increased sales weight and decreased streaming. So if you see the hot 100 now, most songs in digital top 10 are higher than on hot 100 than when Animals was having its run.
For me the worrying factor is Pop radio, its very fickle. After Style peaks on Pop which may happen this week, they may drop it like a rock or drop it more than UF and TOL since both still have hihger callout scores than Style.
I think it will stay at #6 this week and if all the components are stable, it may very well go top 5 next week
