Cleveland is rocking right now. Shout out to Tatei for making that song. Oh, hold on now. Who Tatee? Oh, my fault. That's his nickname for it. Oh, let's continue. Dude, that song is incredible.

That is, Kylie and I have been listening to it so much. Come on, man. There's just like something about it. It makes you feel really good. It's a great song. Hey, man, makes you feel really good. Don't you love to hear it?

You know what I'm saying? You know what else he's going to say? I'm just saying Taylor Swift will get you. Anyway, so what that being said, The main thing that I want to talk about when it comes to Travis Kelsey obviously giving very high praise to his wife's track Cleveland is that when you look at Taylor Swift specifically in the land of music creation, safe to say that particular track Cleveland is the third most play track in the world. But of course, that's not what we're here to get into for this particular track segment because we're getting into the track Pink Cloudin. And when highlighting this track, I wanted to talk about, of course, the title. And if you don't know, pink clouding or pink cloud syndrome is an early stretch of euphoria.

Hold up, now is that side seven? Is it okay? I got my dope on me. Oh, a different type of euphoria. My fault. Some people feel after withdrawal. Before the harder work of sobriety sets in, Taylor Swift turns that into a synth pop apology. And the narrator admits that she was a liar high on the thrill.

You guys. See, that's the problem. And left a good person quote up there on a pink cloud. But then you know what I'm saying? I was like, 10, look at this. So when it comes to Babylon, when it comes to pink cloud and when it comes to Cleveland, when it comes to even patient zero, what are, what do all of these tracks have in common? They are the four additional tracks off of the life of a showgirl that was already 12 tracks in total. But now it's 16.

and with only four additional tracks basically retitling the project, The Life of a Showgirl, The Encore, it is projected to have 150,000 units out the gate. Now, of course, these are just projections. It could be more, could be less, but just think about that. Only four new tracks. And still, the entire project has been reinvigorated to the point where it's about to sell more than most artists will ever sell in a lifetime. Now, the reason why I put it like that is because Taylor's,

Swift is objectively speaking one of the biggest musicians we've ever had in the industry, right? So four million copies out the gate when the original life of a showgirl came out in 2025 breaking all type of records. You want to know what type of records that Taylor broke? Well, let's just start with the biggest first week ever since electronic tracking began in 1991. 4 million units first week for the life of a showgirl has never been done before. In comparison, the second closer, well, the next up as far as the closest when it comes to first week sales was Adele with her album 25 that sold 3.3 million copies first week, which is still a magnificent accomplishment, right? And then you come to realize that Taylor Swift is on a monumental run because not only in 2023 did she sell over a million first week, not only in 2024 did she sell over a million first week, not only in 2024 did she sell over a million first week.

not only in 2024 did she sell over a million first week but of course 2025 as well and i didn't even go to 2022 basically she has had a four-year run of straight dominance i kid you not as midnights in 22 so 1.1 million speak now in 2023 oh no not that one um there was another one there's a tv album was that mean i don't know why it's it just says tv what the world there's an album in 2023 that's Oh, Red TV. Is that what I was trying to say? One of the world? That sold 1.3 million copies.

The Torture Poets Department in 2024 sold 2.6 million. And then a life of a showgirl sold, of course, 4 million units. So when you're looking at Taylor Swift specifically from a musician standpoint, just because I have to say this all the time, because, you know, over here at notorious mass effect, we talk about the gaming and music copies that notoriously affect the masses. So I have to reiterate that, just because, because you sell the most does not mean you make the highest quality of music and just because

you don't sell does not mean you're making just straight up trash just straight up abysmal garbage just straight atrocity to people's ears all right my fault the two just it don't correlate so basically when it comes to taylor swift i wanted to also talk about the four additional tracks to the life of a showgirl but also i did say i was going to get to the rest of the future chart analytics uh analytics because you know hence my name so ladies and gentlemen without further ado analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio because i have the entire top 100 future chart predictions slated for october 10th once again shout to the talk of the charts for this because of course when you look at the future chart prediction safe to say taylor

swift it's all throughout the top 100 mind you this album came out 2025 and just because she's slated Lap four additional tracks off of it, which all are in the top five. Shout to Ella Langley for having, objectively, one of the most successful tracks of all time with choosing Texas. So that's the only reason why her four additional tracks aren't in sequence is broken up by choosing Texas. So basically, Taylor Swift, the reoccurring tracks is a lot of other tracks like The Fate of Affilia. That is the 13th most played track in the world. Let me see. Or no, projected, my fault.

So I have to say projected because it could be a little higher, a little lower, but this is basically the accurate predictions. So the future trial analytics slated for October 10th. You have fate of affiliates slated to be the 13th most play track in the world. You have I knew it, I knew you, which is a Disney Taylor Swift collab that slated to be the 22nd most play track in the world. And then you have Opelite that's set to be a reoccurring track. But I think with Billboard, I forget how that.

works exactly but it's so old that I don't think it's actually going to chart but it would be at number 27 so that's why it doesn't have a number so this this is like a reoccurrant that they just put rc because it's like an older track I think that's to get newer tracks more of a chance so anyways it would be the 27th or projected to be the 27th most play track in the world and then you have let me see and then of course you have Elizabeth Taylor which is one of my favorite tracks off of the album that track is fire to me. That would be a reoccurring track as well and it would be at number 55 and then

of course you have let me see. It's all type of tracks on here from Taylor Swift. If you have father figure that is projected to be the 70th most played track in the world and this is re-entering because I think after like where was this one at?

I forget how that works but I think after a certain number it doesn't matter how old their track is it can still chart but if it's an older track, they want to give newer tracks a chance on the chart. So, you know, when you see RC, that means it's like recurrent. And in RE, it means like reentry. So the difference between that is reentry. I guess I actually don't know the specific difference between that.

But reentry and recurrent is the little abbreviations right here. So I do with that, what you will. And then you have, let me see, you have all type of tracks in the rest of the top of 100. So. Let me see. Wish list is set to be the 91st most played track in the world. Ruin the friendship by Taylor Swift set to be the 92nd. The Life of a Showgirls set to be the 93rd. Actually, Romantic said to be the 95th.

And eldest daughter said to be the 99th. Now, of course, that is the future chart prediction slated for October 10th for the one and only Taylor Swift. Now, to wrap up my coverage of the encore, because at first, I was going to just talk about the Cleveland track. But then of course, I must have forgot who I was talking about. I know that ain't who I thank you. Because of course, Ella Langley's going crazy. I already said that she is probably, objectively speaking, the MVP of, no, objectively speaking, she is the MVP of 2026.

But of course, subjectively, as far as what's the best album, obviously is up to, up for interpretation. But when you look at Taylor Swift, objectively speaking, she is talking about, or she is putting up all type of monumental numbers. So I wanted to specifically put out a segment for each and every one of her additional tracks. So we've already covered Patient Zero. We already covered Cleveland, Babylon. And, of course, we now just cover Pink Cloud.

And so, of course, any of those particular tracks, you can just type that track in and then type analytic dreams with a Z after it. And, of course, it will pop up on whatever podcast platform you listen on if you missed any of the previous coverage of the new four tracks. The last thing I wanted to leave y'all off with is, When it comes to Taylor Swift in the Super Bowl, I did talk about Travis Kelsey in this clip. When I was talking about Babylon, I played the clip of Taylor Swift basically cheering on her husband at the Kansas City Chiefs game. I think when it comes to Kansas, they just have a bunch of legends, you know what I'm saying? No, I'm just saying for real, though. Like when you really look at the state of Kansas, I mean, we have Patrick Mahomes, we have Taylor Swift.

You know, we have analytic dreams. All right, my fault. um but basically when in all seriousness taylor swift is such a force in the music industry that she doubled back after having uh original track for our new toy story movie which is a significant accomplishment disney does not just partner with anybody and taylor swift obviously is not just anybody but that that basically submits my point on how Taylor Swift could do whatever, whenever she wants. So if she could collab with Disney,

the Super Bowl probably has been begging to have Taylor Swift perform at the Super Bowl. I believe this is my prediction. I don't have any sources on this. This is just my prediction. Basically, I believe Taylor Swift will perform at the Super Bowl once Travis Kelsey retires. Now, I know what y'all say?

damn. Well, dang, that's going to be quite some years, won't it? I mean, will it? But then, you know what I'm saying? I'm not saying he washed up because that would be very disrespectful, right? I'm just saying that he's one of the greatest tight ends of all time. Who's to say if this year doesn't play out like Kansas City fans are used to it playing out? He won't just retire. You know what I'm saying? He just be like, you know what? I want enough. Let me just retire because obviously we tried to. do it for the last two years and our team just falling apart, right? So if he ends up retiring, I believe right after his retirement will be the year that Taylor Swift actually headlines

to Super Bowl. Because I don't think she wants to put the pressure on her husband on the fans being like, wow, your wife made it to the Super Bowl, but not you. Like, you know, people are ruthless on the Internet. Just imagine his wife performing on the Super Bowl stage and Travis Kelsey and the Kansas city chiefs not even being there. So I don't even think Taylor Swift wants that to be a possibility of having that immense pressure on her husband being on the same stage that she is on, right? So I think she may wait until he actually retires. Now, of course, that's just my prediction. I'm open to being wrong, but that's just what I have as far as the future to Taylor Swift. Now, of course, when it comes to her music, I don't think she's on tour right now.

She just was at the VMAs, just accepting all the awards. I think she broke the record because she was tied with Beyonce at the VMAs and I think she broke and yeah she let me see so Madonna has 13 nominations or something like that VMAs so Taylor Swift entered the VMA's tie with Beyonce at 30 career wins she finished with 32 moon purse and trophies what is that is that the VMA like what is that nickname for the VMA award anyways but objectively Taylor Swift became the most decorated solo artist in VM history. Taylor Swift won the video of the year for fate of affiliia at the VMAs. And of course, I don't give too much credence to award shows because I know how the politics is played behind

the scenes. But the main thing, when you look at Taylor Swift specifically as a notorious mass effect, I believe when you're looking at her future, she's probably not going to do too much for the rest of 2026 because I don't even think she's on tour right now. I believe that she's basically just putting out these four tracks, letting the Disney tracks still run. ride because Toy Story 5 is still doing phenomenal. And I think she's just going to keep recouping. I'm not even recouping, but basically reaping the benefits of all the hard work she's put in with all type of success with her previous albums.
