7 months ago, Taylor Swift released Blank Space on Vevo and so
far, the music video becomes the fastest video to reach 1 billion views. That’s
right, Taylor Swift’s Blank Space video, which was released online via Vevo
last November, has hit one billion views and become the fastest to do so.
The pop star took to Twitter to share her excitement after
hearing the news.
Blank Space was released late last year as the second single
off of Taylor Swift’s massively successful fifth studio album, 1989.
Taylor Swift has tweeted to her 60 million followers on
Twitter.
The cinematic music video was directed by Joseph Kahn (who
also directed Bad Blood music video) and made available on Vevo last November.
Taylor Swift is currently in the North American leg of her
1989 world tour to support her first pop effort. The tour opened last May in
Japan and is scheduled to finish in December.
It’s nice to see Taylor Swift’s Blank Space hitting 1 billion views. Pop music sure loves Taylor Swift. But I want Taylor Swift to have the best of success of her entire career, not making more pop music. Seriously, I’m sick of her pop music. I want Taylor Swift to bring back crossover by putting in other genres like country because she is capable of making music with other genres like hip-hop. She needs to stop making pop music but I have to wait until she’s getting older though. I miss her crossover country career. It helps me getting interested in Taylor Swift’s career. I hate Taylor Swift is a pop artist appearance. Taylor Swift is a pop artist appearance ruined her career since 2012 and never stops. But hey, at least we still got her music videos. Well let’s move on.
Forget Red's pop songs like I Knew You Were Trouble, 1989 is
my jam. So far, I’m loving the 1989 era and I don’t even like her pop music
like We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together. Duh. First Bad Blood gains 20
million views in the first 24 hours on Vevo and now Blank Space took the
fastest to gain 1 billion views on Vevo in 7 months. That’s why I’m loving
Taylor Swift so far because she is different compared to other artists when
listening to music alone. Even compared to late 90s/early 2000s music. Now, if
only Taylor Swift needs to stop making too many pop music and tackle new genres
like rock, that would be great. It would nice if all Taylor Swift songs (pop or
non-pop) are pop songs. Taylor Swift’s career is turning 10 next year. So I was
expecting to see her releasing her first pop greatest hits album for
mainstream, not crossover. Also, take a look at this.
It appears that Nielsen Music has revealed their mid-year
report and six months into 2015, streaming and vinyl sales are up over their
2014 numbers while overall album sales are going down.
Also, 6 months into 2015 where only one albums has sold over
one million copies so far which is Taylor Swift’s 1989. The latest fifth Taylor
Swift album has added 1.3 million copies in 2015 to its already- impressive
2014 haul as soon as 1989 sold more than 4 million copies in the US in 12 weeks
earlier this year. In addition to selling the most CDs in 2015, only 1989 has
been the year’s top-selling vinyl with 33,500 units sold.
Wow, talk about streaming and vinyl as well as Taylor Swift
dominating the mid 2015 music left and right as streaming is the king of the
music industry this year as downloads are fading away. Soon, music listeners
will have to give up radio and movie to streaming so they can listen to
streaming music like Backstreet Boys and Katy Perry. So if you want to listen
to something like Britney Spears, Carrie Underwood, Rihanna or Demi Lovato,
head over to the streaming department like Spotify and listen to something like
Linkin Park and Selena Gomez. Now then, let’s continue.
If streaming music continues to show up, soon, Billboard
will be making a new chart designed for streaming music like Avril Lavigne and,
what’s worse, Taylor Swift will have to move to streaming music for good as she
gets older by the end of this decade. Maybe if music can do stream exclusive
singles, then radio will never beats the power of streaming. Streaming music
should not be a thing in the past. Streaming must stay and dominate radio.
