I dunno how much 'Hair' by Gaga sold in it's first week, but it reached #12 or something like that, so I guess Taylor has a good chance at debuting high on the Hot 100!

I guess she will debut in Top 10.Begin Again with lesser sales debut at #7.So,I guess Top 10 is locked for now

Oh

I do agree that the lyrics aren't as good as her past albums, but I wouldn't go so far as to call Begin Again or IKYWT lyrically mediocre. Neither rank amongst her best written songs, but I wouldn't go so far as to put either amongst her worst-written songs.

The mediocre people are the hit-makers and she wants hits. Taylor doesn't have the power to smash on pop radio with songs produced by some unknown guy. Besides, Martin is the only producer I have a problem with, and one of his songs is brilliant. I really love Bhasker and Wilson as producers, and I think they'll be among the next big producers.

We said Fearless was a "crucial point" in her career before it was released. We said Speak Now was a "crucial point" in her career before it was released. Based off the huge success of the promo singles, it's obvious that Taylor's not going to drop off the face of the Earth because she made a pop album. Could she suffer a bit critically? Perhaps. Will she suffer commercially? Far from it.

As for why she's making a commercial album, I think it's obvious from the Esquire interview that she didn't want to peak at 18 and be remembered as a teen phenomenon. I also think she's studied Springsteen's career a lot, and it's well-known that Born In The USA was an intentionally commercial album to bring in fans. Obviously, Red and BITUSA aren't on the same level in terms of quality, but the intention is the same: bring in the mass public as fans and then release more artistic albums later on. Taylor's only 22, and after creating 3 mostly serious albums, I don't mind that she wants to take a few years to make and promote a fun pop album. She has a lifelong career as a singer-songwriter, and she can do what she wants when she wants.

You're acting like a little monster during the Born This Way era.

Well said

Hair debuted at number five on the Hot Digital Songs chart with first week sales of 147k. And yes 312k should be enough for a top 10 debut on Hot 100.

My prediction
1. OMN / 2. Gangnam Style / 3. Some Nights / 4. WANEGBT / 5. ALAYLM / 6. LWWY / 7. Blow Me / 8. Skyfall / maybe #9 or #10, compete with Good Time

okay I just listened to Trouble and it s just ...awful how the f*ck it could be a single though it seems like itunes disagrees actually but it s just because of the hype, in the long run, it d flop, and a pop flop is not a country flop, because it can t sell the album....

and the second bad news is Red at #2 I can t , I m mad at this CMT guy who posted that Red had it on lock, I guess he s just a troll or he completly forgot that itunes ain t the only place where you can buy music, even though, Red is only available on here

And what, a Train collab ?! are you kidding me ?! it s just a bad idea, I like some of their songs but really...it s like One Direction with Justin Bieber, she needs an artist with positive critics & integrity like Jack Johnson or Josh Groban, not a housewives' favorite band (it s just my opinion hun, nothing more)

So far

Red (4,5/5)>>>BA (4/5)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>WANEGBT(2,5/5)>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>IKYWT(1/5)

though I m not against Taylor going out of her comfort zone it d ciment her status as a complete artist with artistic values, not a one with the f*ckng same old stuffs.

Beginning this week there will be a midweek Billboard Country Update

HOUSEKEEPING: As noted in the Oct. 1 Billboard Country Update, we’re launching a new midweek BCU email product later this week that will include revised Hot Country Songs rankings, fresh retail charts, comprehensive editorial analysis of all weekly country radio and retail charts, alongside other exclusive content for our readers. In preparation for the introduction of our new product—delivered to our BCU newsletter subscribers every Thursday morning starting Oct. 11—the title of our Nielsen BDS-driven country audience chart changes slightly to Billboard Country Airplay this week. There are no methodology or panel changes associated with the chart’s name change, and it will remain the centerpiece chart in the Monday edition of BCU. We’ll introduce the new midweek BCU with a complete description of its contents and other related changes, and welcome your feedback regarding this exciting new product.

I agree I want singles that will shift albums more than singles. We don't want her to turn into Florida
