Looks like Disney's "payola" effort to get Lift Me Up to #1 didn't work.   LMU got 48.1 million in radio audience, compared to Anti-Hero getting 37.6 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 17%).   Usually on radio, songs build up week to week.  Also, I wonder if Disney influenced Billboard to start using the new tracking method (that now gives more points to radio) on Monday October 31 (in the middle of the tracking week too!), because the new method was suppose to start in December. 

Anti-Hero becomes Taylor's first multi-week #1 since Look What You Made Me Do in 2017.

Very surprised Midnight Rain did that well in the second week.  It doesn't have the "at the beginning of the album" boost, and it didn't get any promotion, and it's not a top favourite among fans, from what I've seen.  LOL   But it's doing well on streaming.  Weird.

Drake thought he was going to get another #1 but Taylor decided to block him by releasing 6 remixes. LOL  Pure speculation on my part, based on what I know of Taylor, I bet she was a bit pissed off at her record label and Drake for dropping his album so soon after hers. He was suppose to released one week after hers but they delayed to two weeks.  I think it was a mistake by Republic Records to release albums from their top 2 artists so close to each other.   This is like Disney releasing an Avengers movie and then two weeks later releasing an X-Men movie. 

From Chart Data:

- "Anti-Hero" rises to #1 on the Digital Song Sales chart for the first time with over 327K sold (up 1,793%), the biggest US pure sales week for any track in the 2020s decade.

- "Anti-Hero" earns the biggest US pure sales week for any song since her own "Look What You Made Me Do", over 5 years ago.

- "Anti-Hero" earns the biggest US sales week for any song this year, with over 550K units sold in its third week. It's the only song to sell over 500,000 in a single week this year.

    • Wow, do I agree with you. Chelsea is coming off as ridiculous. All she does is look for a woman to date while not caring about her business at all. That she's bi is great, but they're not writing her like she's bi. She seems to be lesbian. Yeah, I know -- "no labels." I just don't find the writing for her story to be anything other than awkward.   -- I hope we get some diagnosis finality with Bill's trip to the hospital. I don't want to see these trips to the ER every other day. -- Naomi is going to blame herself for Bill's health problems? GMAB. -- Ashley doesn't read as a real nurse in the slightest. -- Another day, another rinse and repeat conversation with Derek and Ashley. YAWN. -- Kat is making mistakes, but she's fun to watch and listen to, regardless. -- I still think the Joey/Vanessa/Doug gambling story sucks. I know Doug is deeply in debt, but I don't like him acting this meek and submissive.  -- I'm not sure what Joey's plan was from the beginning, or why he had to seduce Vanessa at all to get his way. I'm not sure what Vanessa ever saw in Joey -- why doesn't he give her the ick? -- I'm fine with a story where Doug and Vanessa take out Joey.  -- The fades to commercials were pretty bad today.
    •   Victoria's house (that she long ago lived in with Billy) burned down (I think Aunt Jordan set ablaze?). Mariah and Tessa and baby Aria had been living in the tack house but they bought a house we've never seen and moved there. Victoria, Claire, and Cole now live in the tack house.
    • Victoria’s previous house burned down.    And I know why characters frequent Crimson Lights 3 times a day for brownies, muffins and empty mugs:   THERE’S PCP IN EVERYTHING. 
    • Today was a good episode, and the week for that matter. I think they've also done a better job with background music. The scenes in todays episode weren't as silent as they usually are in the background and it was noticeable. I think the show has found its groove well and I'm still invested. 
    • Garneau was in the Liberal party and his riding was in Montreal. He was the first Canadian in outer space.
    • I agree. I really have enjoyed this story from the beginning. I feel like it needed the time for us to care about Doug. They've done a nice job of explaining his motives and making me care for him. I still feel like he's doomed and Vanessa will end up being a widow and now I'm invested in that *not* happening now that I've fallen for him. Friday was good but so was the entire week. I think they're doing such a nice job of keeping things moving. We got good movement with Bill's story this week, Chelsea is attempting to date, Andre and Dani are having tough conversations about their relationship, of course Anita reunited with Sharon. There is *so* much going on and I didn't even cover all of it.  I wish all of the soaps would take a page out of BTG book and start rotating their stories. I love that everybody is getting a chance to shine and they don't just sit on one lead story to the point you get sick of it. 
    • Did Jordan Clarke have a departure sometime between 1985 and 1989? I know Robert Newman had three runs: 1981-1984, 1986-1991, 1993-end.
    • 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?
