Starting point is 00:00:03 I know that ain't who I think it is. I know that ain't who I think it is. No, I know I know they ain't. I'm just saying, like, I know that ain't the biggest musician ever, objectively speaking. And she's at, she's in Kansas cheering on her husband. I mean, her fans probably don't like that. I just don't like it, man. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:00:28 I just don't like that shit, man. I mean, imagine not only is she showing her love to her husband. husband in Kansas at the Kansas City Chiefs game, but what if she actually made a whole track just declaring her love for her husband? I mean, obviously, her fans will love it, right? Shepard. All right, my fault. Anyways, ladies and gentlemen, it's time to get into the one and only Taylor Swift. As of course, all jokes aside, that's just Taylor Swift, you know, of course, showcasing her love for her husband and talking about how, you know, that's my husband, literally pointing to her ring. You get the point, right? That's not what we're here for.
Starting point is 00:01:07 though. When it comes to the actual impact, the notorious mass effect of the one and only Taylor Swift, safe to say she has an impact like none other. Because of course, as you can see right here, ladies and gentlemen, I'm just going to bring this screen. Yeah, just bring the screen up. As you can see right here, Taylor Swift is percolating all throughout the top 50. Now, usually I don't bring up my entire future chart analytics because I like to say as my sources is I made it up. I'm saying. I've been doing this for too long for people not to understand or see the type of predictions we have and they come to fruition because we're looking at the actual analytics. So anyways,
Starting point is 00:01:46 with that being said, this is Future Chart Analytics slated for October 10th. And as you can see, I know that ain't who I think it is. The person that was screaming, that's my husband. I know that ain't who I think of it. Put out four tracks, ladies and gentlemen, only four on a track that already had.
Starting point is 00:02:03 Let me see. On a track that already had 12 tracks, right. So she put out four additional tracks on the album that already had 12 songs, right? And those four tracks are percolating in the top five. I kid you not. So of course, we already talked about Patient Zero, but the main thing I was willing to get into for this particular segment was Pink, uh, what no, was Babylon as that was the other track that we're going to get into them. Also going to get into pink clouding by one to start off of Babylon. Because of course I've already talked about Cleveland, uh, the Swifties, uh, safe to say they ain't like that.
Starting point is 00:02:39 I just don't like it. Man, like that one bit. I just don't like that shit, man. Now, obviously, I'm exaggerated a little bit. Shout to everybody who follows my clip and channel. They wasn't too mad. They was basically like, oh, it's not all Swifties, but they wasn't like super irate.
Starting point is 00:02:52 But I basically pointed out how Taylor Swift is happily in love, made a track title Cleveland, which is literally her husband's hometown, and people just completely trash the track. They was like, we want you to be miserable forever. You know what I'm saying? I mean, they ain't say they're verbatim, but that's basically what, you know,
Starting point is 00:03:07 that's how they got their point across is by trashing, Cleveland saying they don't want to hear that. So with that being said, ladies and gentlemen, somebody lying because it's the third most played track in the world. Now, sometimes I have seen this pattern before. Is it okay? I got my dope on me?
Starting point is 00:03:25 You know, I say all the time that Drake is my favorite musician. Everybody says that, oh, Drake is this, Drake is that, I don't listen to Drake, and then the numbers come out. And I'm like, hold up now. You know, this is not a political channel. But why people say they don't support something? And then that particular
Starting point is 00:03:42 the artist ends up being the most played artist in the world. What in the actual? You guys. You know what I'm saying? See, that's the problem. It's almost like somebody just lying just for public perception. Now anyways, Taylor Swift has the most played track in the world or is projected to Patient Zero projected to be the number one most play track in the world. Cleveland is set to be the third most play track in the world. Babylon set to be the fourth most play track in the world. And of course, pink clouding is set to be the fifth most played track in the world. Now, of course, we're going to go through the rest of the tracks because she has a whole bunch, a bunch
Starting point is 00:04:15 of other tracks that's percolating in the top of 100. I have all of the analytics and of course I only did this for Drake, you know what I'm saying? Is it okay? I got my dope on me? Because of course he dropped like a million songs with the Iceman project released dropping like three albums, right? So he had all type of tracks in the top 100
Starting point is 00:04:31 when that project came. But when it comes to Taylor Swift, not only is her four tracks in the top five, but her four new tracks in the top five but of course her older tracks are re-charting on the charts and we're going to go through the entire one. As you can see right here, a fate of Ophelia as, oh, that went really close. Fate of Ophelia, as you can see, number 13 re-entered into the chart. So the reason why I show that specifically is just to highlight how Taylor Swift is literally in the league of her own.
Starting point is 00:05:03 I said from an objective standpoint throughout the whole year of 2026, I believe L.A. Langley is definitely the MVP in the year of 2026 because she put out objectively one of the best performing tracks of all time. And that is why you don't see the four new tracks, one, two, three, four. You see Choos in Texas still at number two, even with all the new traction from new tracks from Taylor Swift, right? So Choosing Texas is one of the most best performing tracks of all time, even the biggest act in the world putting out new tracks can only displace the track by one slide. So it's slid to number two.
Starting point is 00:05:42 We'll see if it ends up going back up to number one. Because I know Ella Langley, probably saying to it, so. I know that ain't who I think it is. Every time the superstar drops and they're having some traction, some all-time traction. Here comes the biggest gangster
Starting point is 00:05:56 in the music industry. I know that ain't who I think it is. Every time Drake drop. Every time bad bunny drops. Every time Kanye drop. All right, that probably wasn't the best example. But you get the point. Taylor Swift will let you have your moment
Starting point is 00:06:13 and then quickly remind you who the top dog in the music industry is. Insane. Because, of course, in the midst of this, right? She did put out a whole collaboration with Disney. Literally, it was Disney and Taylor Swift for the Toy Story track for the Toy Story movie. And it was the main single for the movie.
Starting point is 00:06:36 I knew it. I knew you. I covered that. When did I cover that? that because specifically when you look at toy story i covered that june 10th 2026 we got into all the details so we're not going to do that here but when it comes to this being the 22nd most play track in the world just keep in mind this came out a while ago this could have easily stepped on choosing sexes but of course choosing sexes is in a league of its own so of course it's still popular
Starting point is 00:07:02 i mean it's the biggest artist ever and then disney i mean that's the like a match made in heaven that's like Katie joining the Warriors. Like, it's just hard to beat that team up. So, of course, it did well. But when it comes to Ella Langley's Shoes in Texas, it's still one of the most notorious mass affecting tracks that we've ever seen in the history of music creation. If you don't believe me,
Starting point is 00:07:24 Shoes in Texas, objectively, has beat out every other track for the amount of weeks spent at number one. I kid you not. And I think the Billboard charts has been around since like the 80s and the 90s, it's been some time. It's been quite some time. So, yeah, Ella Langley accomplished the unthinkable, the unfathomable with choosing Texas.
Starting point is 00:07:46 But when getting into Babylon specifically, because of course I did say I'm going to get into some of the newer tracks on these specific segments. So this one is specifically about Babylon. If you don't know, when you look at the actual hook of the track Babylon, Taylor says, quote, you never knew that it was Babylon till it was gone.
Starting point is 00:08:06 Hey, that's bars right there. you know what I'm saying. But then, you know what I'm saying? So basically, this points at the ancient Mesopotamian city. Hopefully I said that right. Famous and then ruined. And of course, the song follows someone who left a small town, kept a relationship unofficial and only later longs for what he dismissed.
Starting point is 00:08:27 And Swift had already used the image on Evermore's cowboy like me with the whole hang my lips like the gardens of Babylon. So Taylor Swift really loves her Babylon references, and here it goes again, which is probably why it's the fourth most play track in the world. So, of course, capitalizing off of that is other tracks. We already got into Patient Zero. We already got into Cleveland. And of course, we just talked about Babylon.
Starting point is 00:08:54 But the main thing that I wanted to get into outside of these tracks, of course we have Pink Clouding that we're about to get into. But then after that, we're going to get into the rest of the future trial analytics, because this is just the top 25. right let's get into the top the future try analytics for taylor swift in the top of hundred let's get into that and pink clouding right now
