There’s only one Taylor Swift song in the iTunes top 50.
Two weeks after Taylor dumped four new unreleased songs into the world, only “Patient Zero” remains — at number 4.
The others — “Cleveland,” et al — have all dropped away. Taylor’s only other big chart song remains “I Knew It, I Knew You.”
None of those four songs are still on the Spotify top 50.
Also, her “The Life of a Showgirl: Encore” is fading fast. It’s number 9.
On YouTube, the various “Patient Zero” videos ad up to around 40 million views, which aren’t a lot in that world.
I gather a lot of fans have grown tired of the same old, same old. Taylor’s next album is going to have to be startlingly different. Now that she’s married and settled, it’s enough of the “you dumped me” songs. Time to take on mature subjects.
At the same time, Taylor was a big hit Saturday night at the Motion Academy Museum gala. Here’s a clip from the Academy of Conan O’Brien introducing her.
