This topic is kind of hilarious - the horrible Jessica Simpson talks about this at length in her trash book. She basically blamed her relative lack of pop success on coming in last after Britney and Christina, and no matter how hard Sony pushed her, nothing she ever did could compete with those two in the early 00's. 

 

Who knew back in 2000 it would be Beyonce that would the one to emerge as the pop culture icon that can still have relevant success (though she's morphed from a singles artist to an albums artist in her career)?

Yes! Those are great steps!  Now get rid of the remix tactic where every remix is added together with the original. 

 

Hopefully this will mean there won't be anymore of these one-week-wonders that fall out of the top 10 the next week.

Awesome for Taylor. 

Please register in order to view this content

    And congrats to Aaron Dessner.  It's always cool getting your first #1. 

 

So I wanted to compare the numbers with Taylor's "ME!" and "You Need To Calm Down" to "Cardigan" because those two songs hit #2 and were blocked from the #1 spot by one of the biggest songs of the decade, "Old Town Road."    "Cardigan" had less numbers than "ME!" and "YNTCD" but it was able to get #1. 

 

U.S. Streams

Cardigan: 1) 34 million | Rockstar: 3) 32.9 million

ME!: 2) 50.7 million | Old Town Road: 1) 104 million

YNTCD: 3) 39 million | Old Town Road: 1) 91.6 million

 

 

 

Downloads Sold

Cardigan: 1) 71,000 | Rockstar: 7) 10,000

ME!: 1) 193,000 | Old Town Road: 2) 78,000

YNTCD: 1) 79,000 | Old Town Road: 2) 59,000

 

 

 

Radio Airplay

Cardigan: 12.7 million | Rockstar: 2) 67.9 million

ME!: 13) 54.1 million | Old Town Road: 6) 67.7 million

YNTCD: 50) 24.2 million | Old Town Road: 3) 95.8 million

 

 

The streaming numbers for "Cardigan" and "Rockstar" were pretty close, so it looks like the number of downloads was how "Cardigan" got #1.   To think if Taylor started the Lover Era, like her previous eras, in the summer, I think "ME!" would've gone to #1.  And then "YNTCD" also would've gone to #1 in late fall.   To go even further, if she didn't release "Ready For It" two weeks after "Look What You Made Me Do," I think "Ready For It" would've hit #1 when the video was released in October - I believe the song peaked at #4.   To me, those three were Taylor's missed opportunities at getting #1 songs.   But hindsight is 20/20.  LOL

This one surprised me......but I can't think of (a big artist) debuting a song and album at the same time.  Are there any other examples of this?   And does the debut song have to be the first single or it can be the second or third single (etc) just as long as it debuts at the same time as the album?

    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.
