Blank Space is perfection.

 Re: Taylor Swift's 1989: oh fuck this is gonna be huge
No real true standouts. Bad Blood is anthemy and Blank Space is pretty catchy but there is no 'Trouble' or 'Love Story' mega smash, IMO.

Magnus wrote: it's a solid pop album, not a great one. The problem with her "pop transformation" is that she's not really doing anything different. She's making very standard pop songs with no real twist. It's all going to be forgettable in a couple months.
I imagine she's doing all of this now to set up an eventual "return to roots" in a couple years and go back to country. Her career just seems very planned out. Well obviously. She's an extremely smart person. She knows exactly what she's doing.

18 albums have sold 1+ mil in their first week (since 1991). Tay has 2 already. Could she be adding a third?

Billboard has confirmed that the album is set for a 1 million+ debut. She's a beast.

 Re: Taylor Swift's 1989: oh fuck this is gonna be huge
yeah, I agree, it's a very solid pop album. I've listened to the whole thing a lot more than all of Red, which probably has higher highs than 1989 but has several slow boring tracks that I can't get through.

 Re: Taylor Swift's 1989: oh fuck this is gonna be huge
it's her best album tbh. Red has higher highs but this one has no real clunkers besides maybe I Know Places.

Your country bias is showing.

 Re: Taylor Swift's 1989: oh fuck this is gonna be huge
Even though this is her most consistent and enjoyable album her best songs are still Love Story, You Belong WIth Me, All Too Well and Sparks Fly.
The first week sales are projected at 1.2 million. Stunning.

 Re: Taylor Swift's 1989: oh fuck this is gonna be huge
She wasn't going to slay it on her first pop album. Even if she knew the songs were good yet not groundbreaking, she would probably prefer to do a lesser album first.
That's just me.

Magnus wrote: idk, it just seems soulless to me (moreso than usual). I didn't love TSwifts stuff pre-Red that much but it felt authentic. She wasn't trying to be someone else. I really think most of these songs could have been Katy Perry songs.
Ten years from now, I don't think we'll be playing songs from this album. But we will still be playing Love Story. I agree.

 Re: Taylor Swift's 1989: oh fuck this is gonna be huge
sales projected at 1.3 million now lol
She has a chance at beating Britney's Oops I Did It Again's 1.3 million first week, meaning she'll have the biggest selling first week by a female artist in the US.

Adjusted for deflation, this might be the most impressive album debut ever.
