Starting point is 00:00:03 Now, of course, being analytic dreams, you know we have to analyze these dreamlike numbers because Lord knows these are the most dreamlike numbers, dreamlike analytics you could ever have, as Taylor Swift is set to occupy the entire top 10 of Billboard next week. Now, ladies and gentlemen, that is unheard of. Even with my goat putting out albums, sometimes he will occupy the top 10 with, I'm trying to. get the year right i think it was 2018 views maybe it's 2015 no 2018 was scorpion 2015 was was views i believe anyways that was the last time he impacted the charts similar to the way that taylor swift is because that was his most uh analytically that was his most successful album when we were talking about views so when we're getting into taylor swift doing this on a everyday basis when it comes to putting out a project it's just unheard of
Starting point is 00:01:05 So of course, we're back again. Her latest album is out and it's projected to take up the entire top 10 of the charts. Now specifically, you know, with the cross collaborative effort with the Swifties, I've learned what they like, what they want me to talk about. And one of the things is the track Clara Bow, because apparently this is a tribute to, I think it's a person named, clear about if i'm not mistaken it was like an old picture of her and then it was like a picture with taylor swift as person of the year for time magazine i don't know when that was but hey that was the comparison they was making and then also there was oh okay i found it so of course you know shout out to the swifties eleanor glen is the person that was uh conceptualized for the idea of this track and basically
Starting point is 00:02:03 birth this track titled Clara Bough because Taylor was also writing about her and bringing attention to Clara Bough. So yeah. Eleanor Glenn was born in 1864. Goodness, talk about a throwback.
Starting point is 00:02:25 And basically she was a British novelist and that's where the inspiration of this track Clara Bale comes from. So that's what the Swifty's wanted to be uh they wanted that track to be emphasized because of course not only did they want to be emphasized but as far as the masses they're also enjoying that track amongst the rest of the collection of tracks on the album as clara bow is projected to be number 21 on the charts because if you don't know just because taylor swift puts out an album doesn't mean she's going to have like
Starting point is 00:02:58 the top 25 like that's very hard to do even for the likes of the biggest artist maybe ever in history so even though she's taken up she's taking up like 20 spots of the top 25 charts which is insane but doesn't just guarantee that she's going to take up one through five as like that if you want to know you know for the swifties out there if you want to know the people who's taken the spots away from taylor to have the top 25 of course it's the most popular hip hop track of all time well not all the time most popular hip hop track in 2024 currently and like that with Metro Boomin, Kendra Kumar future. And then the other, well, that's that number 11, right?
Starting point is 00:03:44 So that's taking the 11th spot. Projected, mind you. So it could be higher, it could be lower, but it's not going to be off by much. And beautiful things by Benson Boone. That's projected to be at number 12. So that's taking up a spot. Two Sweet by Hosea Year. And number 18, that's set to take up a spot.
Starting point is 00:04:02 19 from Lose Control, Teddy Swims, and then Expresso by, Sabrina Carpenter so of course when you look at that you realize that Taylor Swift's power is undeniable but it's still not enough to get the top 25 uh consecutive consecutively because obviously that's I'm not going to say it's impossible because I mean she basically has 20 out of 25 so you know God forbid somebody gets five spots to top 25 whenever they're have a they also have a successful single but getting back in the clear about right that's basically the main inspiration from it i'm glad i was able to break that down for you because who would have known that who would have thunk that this whole track originated off of a tribute to the
Starting point is 00:04:52 late miss eleanor glenn and her being a british novel just adding to the fact that this uh clara bow track is uh captivating the masses you know so what else and it's basically it Taylor Swift dominating the charts. These are the two tracks that the Swifties was like, how dare you not mention this, right? So I was just like, hey, you know what I'm saying? I guess I ain't doing my job. You know what I'm saying?
Starting point is 00:05:19 So I was like, hey, let me get that out. And I'll give y'all little sentiments, numbers. I mean, it's definitely one of those things where if your artist or your favorite artist was dominating the charts like this, you would probably want most of the Lom Light as well. And especially with me not only mainly covering hip hop, but just analytics in general. I like to talk about certain tracks that impact the charts in a way that makes every top performer from other genres maneuver their release dates.
Starting point is 00:05:49 Like, to bring it back to hip-hop, there's a reason why size 7, for the Swift East who's listening, that's Kendrick Lamar. But there's a reason why size 7 has not responded to Drake. It's simply for the fact that, one, allegedly, he's building up towards an album, right? the cat's out the bag supposedly supposedly supposedly he's supposed to put out an album and made and the disc track supposed to lead up to that pretty weak if you ask me but hey i guess right all type of excuses being made for size seven so anyways also taylor swift dropping with them being on the same label as far as taylor and kendrick well everybody who's a top performing artist is under umg but especially being under umg you're basically co-workers so why step on somebody's release date with uh
Starting point is 00:06:36 disc track that you know is going to have all eyes on it but obviously more eyes is going to be on taylor swift but as far as the totality of eyes more be taken away from your co-worker if you drop your disc track while she drops the album so apparently that's why he pushed back his disc track but i ain't trying to hear that hip-hop is about competition and if you're going to act like you're not in a beef simply because your label mate who's in another genre is dropping an album then what does that say about you as a rapper as a competitive hip-hop musician so you know i had to throw some a size seven slander in there but hey at the end of day you know this is the uh collaborative effort between analytic dreams and the swifties brought to you by the internet you know i'm saying so click my link
Starting point is 00:07:24 tree in my bio let me know one of my social medias what do you think about taylor swift just completely dominating the charts currently and one of those type of uh performances where we probably won't see in our lifetime as far as one particular artist just having this strong dominance over the entire music landscape and i lost my train of thought so i'm just going to redo my outro so click my link tree in my bio let me know one of my social medias for the swifties out there what is your favorite track currently off of taylor swift's the uh the tortured poets department Thank you.
