Frontloaded success? Following the expectation-shattering blockbuster debut of her new album, “Midnights,” Taylor Swift has coasted to a second week atop the charts, earning the equivalent of another 342,000 album sales, according to the tracking service Luminate. Although “Midnights” experienced a 78 percent drop in its second week of release — down from 1,578,000 in sales the week prior — Swift’s follow-up performance was still good enough for the third-largest total of the year so far, topping even the debut of Beyoncé’s “Renaissance.” (Other than “Midnights” last week, on

The obsession is REAL Taytay outsold and you remain pressed and crying and this is coming from someone who doesn’t even care for Taylor

Also let’s not forget the fact that 9 out of 10 tracks hit the top 10 before the campaign for Bejeweled / VS to get then higher with single releases. So even if she didn’t pull that stunt to get all top 10 songs under her belt, she still slayed the sales - and the majority of them are PHYSICAL sales too. Taylor’s fanbase is strong AF.

Nonsequitur.

I will never understand the need to actively hate one of the faves. Meanwhile, Taylor became the first artist ever to hold all 1-10 positions on the Hot 100.

Lovely summer track. Loved Cold Heart and this is in the same vein, memorable classic melody with a catchy modern disco house vibe. glad to see it’s doing well upon release too, can’t be happier for Britney and Elton!

#1 on itunes in 35 countries? girl’s still got that star power

I’ve only recently started listening to Harry’s stuff and am very surprised at the consistent quality of his album tracks. So pleasantly surprised and happy that he’s seeing success, his music is actually great

This was a great read.

Performing worse than her previous albums but to be fair, she set a high fucking bar. She still did well with the album regardless.

Reminds me of Lykke Li during So Sad So Sexy era. I love it.

The OP is about success, not quality; you can be a successful actress without being an Oscar winner if your films sell tickets. JLO has had her share of film flops but she’s also had major box office successes too.

What does that have to do with acting?

Because her music is phenomenal and she’s a better songwriter than Taylor Swift. but curious, if Kacey’s platinum / gold and Grammy wins are not “making it big”, then just WHAT do you consider making it?

Not saying JLO is a great actress… but let’s not forget that she does have a very successful acting career as well. I think Adele could be a good actress if she wanted.
