Taylor Swift - 1989 (Taylor's Version) [Oct 27] + Re-Recordings

[RUNAWAY]

It might not be the first song that comes to people’s minds, but (anecdotally) I have found it to be one of her more well-liked songs even amongst people who don’t usually like Taylor’s music. I feel like it occupies a similar space to Delicate in her discography, in that sense.

Violet Chachki found stanning.

Wildest Dreams wasn’t a hit in the UK?

It was. It was just a late single in the campaign from an album that was already multiplatinum, and was only relying on pure sales as she wasn't on streaming then

 

[Babyface]

Maren angling for that feature spot on 1989 Taylor’s Version and hopefully getting more than just backing vocals this time.

 

[VICTORsaurio]

Will she release Wonderland (Taylor's Version) now?

 

[chromatica]

Nope. She is massive here, but not in the same way she is in say, the US/Australia. I think some of the GP would know Wildest Dreams despite its low chart peak, but Shake It Off, Blank Space, Bad Blood and Style feel like the songs from the 1989 era that most people here would know.

In the US, despite charting far lower, I think Wildest Dreams feels like a bigger hit than Bad Blood. I remember it lasting longer on the radio and I still hear it more in public, on my mom's stations, etc.

 

[RMK]

I definitely think the locals refer back to Wildest Dreams more than Bad Blood or even Style. The latter deserves to be recognized more than most songs ever made, but that's a conversation for a different day.

 

[VivaForever]

Just drop the album, Taylor. Call it a fall gift for the pumpkin bumpkins.

 

[xOJakeXo]

Been a 1989 day and I sometimes think Out Of The Woods is her best song. At least one of, and a highlight of her pop era. I don’t think the re-record is going to have the same effect as Fearless but I’ll take anything that let’s me revisit this album in a fresh way.

Target and Amazon haven't shipped my vinyl or cassettes (respectively) yet, but Amazon says the cassettes should arrive on Tuesday. Which would be annoying, but I'm taking a weekend vacation, so I wouldn't be able to enjoy them till Tuesday (TM Aimee Mann) anyway!

 

[Cowboystyle]

Wildest Dreams was definitely a modest hit in the UK, it only originally made no. 40 but like someone said earlier she wasn’t on streaming back then so that really hampered her single sales. It definitely feels quite well known here and better known than Out of the Woods or Bad Blood even, I think this is shown by it making number 25 this time round, obviously TikTok has helped too.

Fearless is back in the U.K. midweeks at no 7 so I guess the vinyl is being counted for this week’s album chart - even though mine hasn’t been dispatched yet.

It could be the signed copies, no?

 

[maverick_79]

It could be the signed copies, no?

Potentially, although current sales are around 3,500 so…that’s a lot of signed copies.

 

[MrJames]

Hoping to get the Fearless vinyl at some point this century.

 

[VivaForever]

Target shipped mine (the standard gold, not their awful exclusive red) today! Arriving on Saturday when I'll be out of town.

 

[Florencia.]

Wait, what why? Is Adele releasing on the 19th or something?
