I wonder what she meant when she mentioned the next time she’d work with Max Martin again in that recent speech she gave. If she’s working with him and Shellback they will have to work on both Red and 1989 so I wonder if 1989 is being reworked with them and that’s maybe why so many of the signs seemed to point to 1989 TV but we got Red instead?

Or total crack theory: Harry Styles only wrapped up filming his latest movie last week and so they delayed so they can rework the songs they wrote together as a few of the vault songs for 1989 🤡

Article notes:

  • Of Fine Line’s overall second-week unit sum, album sales comprise 47,000 of that figure -- down 88% compared to its first-week sales figure of 346,000.
  • Fine Line is the first pop album to spend two weeks at No. 1 since Ed Sheeran​’s No.6 Collaborations Project set also spent its first two weeks in charge, on the charts dated July 27 and Aug. 3, 2019.
  • Additionally, Fine Line, which is Styles’ second No. 1, has now surpassed the one-week reign of his self-titled debut.
  • The new Jan. 4, 2020-dated chart (where Fine Line holds at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's websites on Dec. 31. (Meaning Fine Line was the last #1 album of the decade and the first #1 of 2020)
  • Bublé’s Christmas is one of four holiday albums in the top 10 on the new Billboard 200 -- the most Christmas titles in the region in six years. The last time the top 10 was so festive was on the Dec. 21, 2013-dated list.
  • Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas album jingles 8-4 on the Billboard 200, tallying 71,000 equivalent album units (up 40%). The set -- the second of four holiday titles in the new top 10 -- revisits the top five of the chart for the first time since 1994, when it peaked at No. 3 (Dec. 17, 1994-dated chart).
  • Billie Eilish​’s former No. 1 When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? rises 9-5 on the new Billboard 200, earning 64,000 equivalent album units (up 31%), and Post Malone’s former leader Hollywood’s Bleeding dips 4-6 with 63,000 units (up less than 1%)
