I'm afraid it won't, Riri is tied with Taylor in % so she's gonna kick her out in no time
I didn't mean Diamonds would stay in the Top 10. But if everyone gets knocked out it's kinda like a do over when they get absorbed back into the top 10 when Taylor drops.
Top 20 on Digital maybe?
I might be being pessimistic, but last time Speak Now debuted, Taylor crushed everyone on iTunes the first day yet she only had 2 T40 debuts (though 10 Hot 100 debuts) and one T10 Digital Song. And with the streaming/airplay formula so biased against digital-only releases, I wouldn't be shocked by just one T40 debut. If you look at last week's chart, Red was the #10 song digitally and couldn't make the top half of the Hot 100.
However, I will be optimistic about Taylor's second MILLION-SELLING WEEK, which matters much more honestly.
I think it was perhaps not bad that the album leaked a bit early since the buzz created has placed the songs mostly properly in order:
Everything Has Changed was my #1 of the unreleased album tracks, I Almost Do/All Too Well are writing masterpieces, and 22 is undeniably super-catchy and instant.
