I have come to a conclusion that she better put ONLY her upcoming singles to spotify, leaving the album tracks of 1989 out of streaming. In that way, the record is promoted through hearing the singles, but people interested in buying the record will still buy the album, and not just stream it.

Yes and she can get those #1s

Welp, guess Shake It Off won't be going back to #1 after all

The streams from last week still count though, so SIO could still notch one more week at number 1 before going the way of GaGa.

It will. Her entire last week was accounted for Spotify streams

This makes the most sense too. Especially considering people can "legally" listen to the song on YouTube with the music video.

But what about previously recently released singles that are still charting like SIO? Missing out on extra weeks high up the charts? People can still watch it "legally" on YouTube with the music video etc.

When I wake up I want a press release saying that this is to pressure spotify to increase their royalty payments or whatever it's called and that she urges others to do the same (and no one will do it lbr) or else I'll just be lost for my whole life

THIS, but she should have kept her past singles too

Music not the bling indeed

[mikeyace16]

So she'll have the number song and the number one album simultaneously yasss

[Bentley13]

Just wait for other acts to start following suit

Taylor at the start of the revolution

Lord always one step ahead of the game. Add that to her ever-growing list of titles. Trendsetter

[swiftie13]

Ugh, music shouldn't be free period. Music artists are paid dust the most tbh. Every other type of artists, hell just worker overall, gets paid for what they do. Yea, she might be rich as hell but this is a statement for the industry as a whole and she's powerful enough to make people listen.

Even a professor in my class for Survey of the Music Industry said something about it. Artists have the right to demand more but they never do so the industry is dying.

Wait. That 'Slay, Slay, Slay' promo, though.

[eddytws]

The only thing that bugs me is, how is she going to promote herself more in global markets?

The radio in Europe were not that supportive for her,

and people are not going to buy your albums or singles if they don't really know you

and she's not having a major tour there until 2016

Thanks for the support lol. Unfortunately, Taylor and her team ain't smart enough to think of it. They must hire me tbh.

And I don't care about her previous record. She can basically release it to Spotify for everyone to hear it. They're done deals already. She ain't losing sales from her previous records.

So if I were them, I will release Blank Space (ONLY) on spotify on November 10. And definitely won't remove SIO there too. Singles are meant to promote the album, and that's they will do on Spotify

[materialboy]

we still dont have the stats?

im glad it went platinum in its first week anyways

The radio here in Spain is a big fan of SIO, they play it all the time.

But it's true, a lot of European charts are based on streaming alone

Then it's their loss.
