also I really need her to do something about Germany and France. she needs to do some more promo there. I think promo works wonders in Germany at least. when Pink, Alicia Keys and Rihanna performed on Wetten Dass the all charted within the top 5 just from that one promo slot. I think she needs to do two shows in Germany. the songs would re chart and the album would pick u in sales. also she needs to take care of her 5th biggest market (Japan) a bit more. maybe a good 2 shows there and an interview can do wonders. she is smashing so hard and I want her to maximize this albums potential on a WW scale

She is actually doing extremely well in Japan. She has 2 Tokyo Dome dates for her 1989 World Tour booked there. No Western act apart from legendary rock acts like Rolling Stones has played 2 dates there this decade. SIO is still 16 in Japanese iTunes and WANEGBT is still 48 (after 2.5 years). BS is at 57. Red sold 300k in Japan, and 1989 is already almost at half that in less than 2 months.
Taylor did actually perform on a radio industry show in Germany before the album was released. SIO and BS have been getting German radio support and BS peaked at no 3 on German iTunes. BS currently now 19 and SIO at 33 on German iTunes. German posters on ukmix are saying this is her most successful era there so far. She has 2 dates booked there for 1989 World Tour. It is a market she is breaking into this era.
France is a market that has been resistant to her. One of the most resistant in all of Europe, only matched by Russia. Taylor has played at a few TV shows in Paris this era but she still didn't really smash there. It did OK but much later than most of Europe. SIO currently 23 (and 46) on French iTunes. It is a market she is trying to break though.
Europe remains her weakest market, but she is really succeeding there in a lot of countries. The UK, Ireland, Sweden, Norway, Demark, Finland. Spain, Portugal, even Turkey and to a degree Italy. So is growing in pretty much every market this era, so that is a positive trajectory. While she is still not the biggest in Europe, she is bigger than she has ever been and growing really quickly in some markets like the UK and Sweden.
Ready for it to smash just as BS begins to die, like BS did for SIO.
