So I had a moment and thought it was the end of 2024 for a second...yay me I just gained a year. Question still stands. I think it could be safe to maybe hope for rep and debut tv as well as maybe both ts11 and 12.

I was confused for a second too, lol. I was like wait, 2024 is still considered the first half of the 2020s right? 😂

Definitely my bad haha. The question will just have to have a 4-6 year comparison instead of a 5-5 one now.

Oh no, it wasn't you that I was confused by, lol. I was confused by OP's wording of everyone's hopes for the second half of the 2020s but 2024 is still part of the first half of the 2020s. We won't enter the second half for a while yet. I was confused about why we're hypothesizing the second half of the decade when next year we'll still be in the first half of it.

Oh I am OP I just signed into a different account. Double the confusion for you! Haha

Lmao, no kidding 😂

ok evermore pulling through 😌

One sick fact about Evermore is that it was one of the best selling albums of the year despite being released in DECEMBER!

It really is that good of an album that I'm not surprised. Imagine if Taylor had actually acknowledged it more 😭

It's like that forgotten middle child that channels their neglect into success

Great album, but to be fair that was a shit year

[удалено]

Actually, you're totally right. I was just thinking TS11 and 12. 2024, 2026 and 2028 are all possible if not probable for her.

But I don't think she will keep the schedule. Something tells me that after the tour ends, she will take a break from making new music to focus on her movie, plus maybe something extra.

I do wonder where the rumour of her being Dazzler in Deadpool and potentially making songs for that would fit into things.

If she was on Deadpool her role will be 2 mins. I think even if she made songs for it the entire process won’t take more than one month

What what what? There's a rumor about that? 👀 Mmmm the writers strike probably delayed production long enough so it'd be possible, maybe

Yeah that’s my theory. I think all along her planned schedule was: 2 rerecorded albums a year Then one new album the next year People disagreed with me but I still think Rep & Debut will come out 2025 & she’ll release her next album later next year

I think the re-record will finish anytime before the tour ends. And that she might announce a new album after the tour (my dream is the last night) but it could be a little afterwards. Then she might take a break to do movie stuff and write

The tour ends on December 8th in Vancouver, Friday the 13th of December is 5 days after that and obviously that day is also her birthday so… i think that’s when TS11 will be released

>my dream is the last night Taylor on her way to add more tour dates infinitely so she can postpone her album release as long as she wants too

I used to think that but the rapid pace she’s been putting them out and that the tour has been extended multiple times ruins that plan imo. I thought she’d do TS11 in oct 24, then finish the TVs but now I bet she’ll finish all the TVs before end of tour then take a break and come back with TS11 in October 2025. She’s bordering on being overexposed rn as it is. Another year of touring and being in the media with the Kelce stuff and she’ll need to hide for a bit if she wants to sell a bunch for TS11.

I could see us getting 4 albums before the decade ends don’t forget she could already have one done but is waiting until the tvs are over

it’s crazy to me that Olivia Rodrigo’s *SOUR* has outperformed every Taylor Swift album. Sis just arrived on the scene!! 😭😭

It kinda makes sense to me bc she only had that album out for awhile so people could only listen to that on repeat meanwhile TS dropped multiple in the past few years so the streams are divided amongst those? If that makes sense

I guess it’s just the fact that she literally started putting out music during the pandemic and seemed to be developing a following, but I didn’t realize just how big that following was until now. To surpass other larger acts like Adele, Ed Sheeran, and Ariana Grande is wild to me!!

Ok but like, this is really only the albums since 2020 began and Adele, Ed, and Ari had some of their biggest successes and became household names prior to 2020. I'd be super interested in seeing one of these done for the past 10 years or since 2000 Though I do agree with you. I'm in Rodrigo's target demographic and it feels like she just appeared out of nowhere at the top.

It’s also only around 30 minutes long so I accidentally listen to it like 5 times in a row before realizing

Are these figures actual physical album sales? Or streaming? I’d be surprised if it were physical album sales, there would be a big different I think

Streaming, most likely.

They are equivalent album sales so physical and streaming combined.

whats the first album? Whose it by I legit have never seen it

Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny

Thank you for this, I genuinely had no idea lol. Do you know what the next 3 are by chance? 😂

After Hours by The Weeknd, Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa and Sour by Olivia Rodrigo. Have you not seen these anywhere? They’re huge albums.

I knew Dua Lipa and Olivia, but I wouldn't have been able to tell you the name of After Hours besides "that The Weeknd album with Blinding Lights on it"

It also has heartless and save your tears as #1 singles. Not to mention In your eyes with like 800M+ streams.

Thank you! No I really havent...honestly apart from TS and maybe...Adele...I don't listen to a lot of newer music. I'm still playing catch up lol.

Gurl where have you been???? 😭

Hahahaha I knooooow 🤣🤣

I genuinely didn’t know the top 3 albums but I can’t stand The Weeknd so it makes sense for that one

damn i didn’t know bad bunny was that popular! interesting thank you for sharing

As a floridan that’s wild to me. Bad bunny is so huge!

I have literally no idea who Bad Bunny is haha

i only know about bad bunny from all my florida friends hahahaha

He was the most streamed artist on Spotify for the past 3 years

I had no idea

Bad Bunny was the #1 streamed artist on Spotify each of the past three years (TS was 2 the last 2 years). He’s extremely popular.

I love his music and I live in Croatia lol 😁

That ain’t even Born Pink 😭 Born Pink is the one with pink fangs dangling from the top, the one in the post is “THE ALBUM” lol https://preview.redd.it/hxrps8f8qa2c1.jpeg?width=316&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=75a0660a862ed83b30a1df4256af327626fc2496 👆This is Born Pink

So proud of my girl evermore 🍁

What year do you think it is

Haha how is this not the top comment

wait what, 1989 TV is not on the chart?

On chart masters the TV get combined with the originals so it counts as a 2014 album not 2020s.

oh okay i see. Thanks

the first half isn’t even over yet

Cant believe we’re halfway through this decade

Uhhh...no? Or are you being ironic and I deserve a r/swooosh ?

Yes

More taylor-

Taylor in the top 10 *twice*, love to see it!!! I'm hoping for an acoustic album from Taylor!! And really looking forward to TS11, TS12 and THIRTEEN. I think she'll name it that or 13. Oh and I also believe Taylor will continue to top the charts when she releases new music. There will be SO much anticipation for TS11. Hope she can handle the pressure. (And else pull a folklore and be like "surprise, nobody expected this, enjoy!" 🩵 I love a chaotic surprise)

Juice being up there makes me happy

RIP 🕊

As an ARMY Swiftie, I love this. I hope to see Taylor and BTS continue to dominate! 😊

SAME!!!

Makes me so happy to see Halsey there! Well deserved

What do the stars indicate?

Is it something to do with it being the best selling album for that artist? I tried looking it up but I couldn't find this info anywhere else. u/asecretwomenssociety?

Wow pop smoke is a best selling album 😂

Yeah haha it's likely because it was his first posthumous album, so more fans bought it

Shoot for the stars aim for the moon 💫

Feeling the starts of an unexpected jazz revival

I need a Katy Perry renaissance. It’s wishful thinking, but I’m really hoping for her to come out with a new era and for people to stop sleeping on her. And maybe, just *maybe*, we could get a Taylor Swift and Katy Perry collab? It’s a long-time dream of mine!

I don't know, Katy Perry endorsed an anti-abortion republican 🫠

She did? Could you link an article? Because I have no idea what you’re talking about. Regardless, I’d rather keep politics and music separated.

https://jezebel.com/katy-perry-gets-dragged-to-hell-after-voting-for-anti-a-1849758381 >Regardless, I’d rather keep politics and music separated. I feel you. I listen to quite a lot of music without knowing their political stance. It just makes it hard, sometimes impossible, to enjoy the music, knowing the person behind it has made specific remarks. I stopped listening to quite a few bands because I didn't want to support them anymore when it turned out they were actively against my existence as a person, backing Trump, anti-covid measures, etc... it turns into a negative experience for me. But in this instance, I'm not sure if Taylor and Katy would publicly collaborate. I think Katy probably wasn't really considering Caruso's scope when she tweeted her support, but that also reeks of privilege. Taylor wants people to think and vote so it wouldn't be the best look right now. Here's hoping Katy changed a bit since that experience, I don't know, I haven't kept up with it tbh.

Oh, wow, I didn’t know! But it doesn’t change my opinion about her. I love her music and seeing her in interviews and whatnot is always fun. I’m not gonna stop listening to her just because I don’t agree with her, politically. It’s only if she’d make a radical statement that I’d be worried, but it doesn’t seem like we’ve reached that point, yet.

I read somewhere that Katy Perry's recording contract expired and she's not currently signed with a label.

That’s news to me, but she’s literally Katy Perry, it wouldn’t be difficult for her to find a new label, or renew her contract with her previous label. Or honestly, maybe even go the Taylor Swift route and release music under her own name, she could definitely afford that!

I think Manic deserves a way higher placement. Every song was fantastic.

Ngl I kinda thought Harry's House would be higher on the list considering how massive Harry was when it came out and how supportive his fanbase is.

I’m hoping for a lot more country.

I have been wondering what she could possibly do for TS13 and part of me wondered if she would go back to maybe age 13 when she was still obsessed with country and use those influences at the time or something.

And I just got the idea that her thirteenth album will be the ultimate mix of all her past eras.

I've been bumping UBST constantly lately

Whose the 8.37 million one ?

The Kid LAROI - F*CK LOVE

Imagine Dragons on this list is insane

My kids are obsessed with

[удалено]

You’re not my kid

For the second half, more Taylor Swift albums.

What even is the number one album? I don’t recognize the art

I didn't recognise it either haha. It's Un Verano Sin Ti by Bad Bunny

Olivia out sold midnight? That’s crazy! Get it girl! I love sour it’s a great album! I like Guts better tho, even better than midnights, sorry Taylor! I’m not even a big Olivia fan either…

I’m convinced dua lipa is a collective hallucination. Who has ever been like “ah lemme put on the new dua lipa album so I can listen to department store music consensually”?? How is she one of the top grossing artists? Like truly? How is it possible?

You have to remember her stuff came out peak covid and people were absolutely desperate for some positivity/connection/normalcy.

why would anyone care about sales numbers lol

Better music tbh. Most of this list is horrible music from artists that have done far better in their career than this. For Taylor specifically, get away from pop. Midnights was her weakest album in a very long time songwriting wise imo and I don’t want to continue revisiting past relationships. Bring us back to when albums were telling us what has happened in her life since the last album. I’ve heard about Jake or John enough over the last decade.
