Both singles were expected to hit #1 on the Hot 100, but both ended up peaking at #6 with heavy AirPlay and decent sales/streams.

Would you say that Style is Taylor's "Team"? Will Style re-peak? Discuss.

[Jeiboy]

YES!

Wildest Dreams = Glory & Gore
Bad Blood = Tennis Court

In fairness, I don't think expectations were as high for Team as they were for Style.

They have very similar chart runs though. Weak streaming and sales prevented both songs from becoming huge.

Style had better expectations and definitely would have hit #1 if it was the second single/if she wasn't such a strong album's artist. All the people who bought the album weren't going to rebuy it as a single, considering they already owned it. On top of that, they were probably starting to get sick of the song by the time it became a single, because they'd had it on repeat every day for four months straight.

[Lights and Waves]

Maybe if she gave a **** about the song and didn't go out of her way to sabotage it. I don't get why the Lord would do this to the best song of her career.

Also, they released it WAY too early. Blank Space was still huge. It still gets insane amounts of airplay.

[Wonderland]

Well if Team had Style's streaming it would have smashed and gone close to #1.

My fave's boring ass video stopped it from going higher.

But then the video gives her indie-hipster cred, so it's probably a good trade off in the long-term

[Rico Shameless v2]

Yes, except with 4.5 mil attached!

[Rei]

No, Style comes from an album that already sold more than 4m so they aren't comparable.

[Cupcake.]

Taylor came from two huge hits and 6m people already bought the album by the time Style was released, there's no point of comparison.

is this the new excuse?

[jose168]

[Ger-55]

They are pulling almost the same numbers, OMG

[Tristan]

Style was blocked by 5 songs above it. ;(

[avi]

my favorite lorde song better slay, style is one of my favorites from taylor as well

[Dark Horse]

its been months since 1989 came out and everyone bought it . plus everyone was already listening to style before so idk how a 5 month old song can go #1.
