Didn't Taylor used to have a bunch of singles that would debut really high due to big sales and then fall the following weeks? I don't remember if this was one of those cases.
Well, her other #2 songs were Love Story, I Knew You Were Trouble, & You Belong With Me, but they are some of her biggest hits. She has had several non singles make it into the top 10 on BB 100. Jump Then Fall #10, If This Was A Movie #10, Speak Now #8, Change #10 (although this was an Olympic theme song, not necessarily a single from the Fearless era). TWAF benefited from the Valentines Day movie, which she played one of the actresses, and TWAF was one of the movies soundtrack singles. It also went # 1 in Canada. Jump Then Fall also got some exposure because it was included on the soundtrack as well.

we have definitely been getting major releases; they just can't take down drew.
That's cuz all the major releases ( except for Gaga) never had a single blow up out the gate. Closer will most likely get knocked out by Starboy in the next 3 or so weeks.
Hmm. Looking at only consumption and doing a straight equivalence,

I'd say 5+ is amazing, 4 is great, 3 is good, 2 is okay, 1 is bad. Closer has 4 of the T6 consumed weeks this year.
