I can't see it lasting long going by the mixed reactions from the public. Almost every song from 1989 ****s all over this.

[Smithy]

Has the record for the largest lead ever over the #2 spot on Kworb (94%)

Sold over 100k already

[Nancy.]

Had this been released back in the 80's or 90's, a 100k would've been laughable. The record companies wouldn't have even wanted it as a B-side.

It only gets the streams it gets because it's Taylor Swift. It's dire.

[Jarrod]

Could Taylor finally get UK #1?

Well it's not the 80's or the 90's anymore so that's irrelevant

literally happens with the majority of artists, fans rush to buy/stream the song as soon as it's released

I didn't say it was.

Seriously though what competition does TS have? No-one else is bringing out new music yet, so it's basically a one woman race to the finish line.

Nope, never had a UK #1!

Given the stream-heavy nature of chart music lately, Justin Bieber's new single will still be gaining momentum, Dua's on a hot streak, and P!nk's doing well with sales and climbing in streams too.

It's rare for an artist to debut at #1 lately (within the past 3-5 years anyway)

[Smithy]

She'll debut #1 in the US without a doubt, UK is more uncertain

[lewis111]

If Bieber can get #2 without reaching #1 on ITunes or Spotify I'm optimistic she'll manage it

[Smithy]

Expected to debut with 550k in the US

Absolutely insane

[Jarrod]

I like it more and more each time I listen to it, I cannot wait for the full album.

[Adamw92]

It's been stuck in my head all day, loving it!

[Samm]

AHHHH the dark lord WON

This tbh then i looked it up to find she has 3 #2 with what are 3 iconic songs

I think she is almost guaranteed #1 she has chart ahead of Dua on the daily Spotify charts and has about 60-70% lead over Dua on Itunes

[lewis111]

Dua has already taken over on Spotify as Taylor had a massive drop and P!NK looks set to take over on sales later today/tomorrow
Could be closer than we think

[Deirdre]

i hate it and i hate her
