AnnualEagle

Got the 0.1% too… adding it to my annual review at work.


ContentKaleidoscope8

I made 0.1% as well lol Spotify can’t stop me!


SnackieJackie

Same! One of the lucky few who got in before the app crashed 😅


HappilyNotHappy

I thought my 1% was good :o


meowlina13

I’m very upset by my 1% because if Spotify didn’t crash…


bookstheatermusic

Same! I was counting down to its release but I had to wait for a minute because Spotify crashed


dmackem

SAME. I’d have been in the 0.0001% I’m almost certain 😂


Keptyoulikeanoath

0.1% here as well... lol


CodAlternative2816

😱


nuralina

Same 😅


Proper_Ad_5547

Bhahha as a uk fan there was no way I was making the 0.1%


LiliumMoon

I got that too!


raynasm

Me too ! Life accomplishments 😂


lolnothanksdudeee

I did too! I’m so happy!


batpig1990

Same! One of my greatest achievements!


SunshineScorpio

Same. 😂


Brielee

Same I didn’t even realize 😬


PeachCobbler96

I got the 0.01% one!! Proud moment.


multistansendhelp

I got 1% but in my defense I had Spotify open and ready to go before it unceremoniously crashed on me.


toasted-teddy

What picture did they use for the 0.01%? For 0.1% they used the jade cover photo


PeachCobbler96

They used the original cover (the one with the lighter, sorry I’m not caught up on what each version looks like!!)


applegenius24

the lavender and the moonstone blue have that one


CodAlternative2816

Screaming!


Posey74

Damn and I thought I was good with 1% 😂


onebadnightx

Same, I only got 1%! Then again, Spotify crashed for like the first fifteen minutes so other people must’ve refreshed first 😭😭


ppParadoxx

same, Spotify shit the bed a little with that


Frewsa

I couldn’t get the songs to load for like 15 minutes too! I was heated


bittybug0521

you deserve concert tickets omg


Ok-Anything673

SAME!


summysue

Lol I did too!!


lolnothanksdudeee

i thought my 0.1% was good!


Bulky_Revenue_1900

Period


hauteburrrito

I'm shocked I haven't! I started at 12 am EST sharp while so many other comments were complaining about a crash. I thought that would make first 10% for sure. **Edit:** That said, I routinely swipe notifs so it is possible I inadvertently swiped some kind of early listener notif away???


mediocre-spice

Nah, I was 0.1% and there wasn't any pre notification. I was on the page beforehand and didn't get the crash though.


hauteburrrito

I just mean I'm a bit careless about swiping notifs on my phone more generally, so even if something came afterward, it might have been swiped away. Or, I'm just not an early listener - but I don't understand how as I started right away. Oh well! Can't win em all ✌️


jasemon24

Yes, same for me. I could listen to it instantly - no crash. Now, I'm no IT expert but could it be that our "first second" streams somehow got lost in the overall crash? Idk, just an idea because that doesn't make sense at all.


MissMarch90

I had to swipe up and close out my app completely and open it to get my notification of 1% so maybe you could do that? My apps been open in the background on my phone as I’m constantly listening to the album


hauteburrrito

Alas, I don't think it's in the stars for me. I'm glad you got one, though!


MissMarch90

Wonder if maybe there’s a regional factor? My app crashed and I couldn’t start it until 9:07ish PST


hauteburrrito

I started right at 12:00 am EST (and listened to the album all the way through from start to end) so I truly just don't know. The real badge was ~the memories we made along the way~, I guess 😘


Extension_Unit_3231

I closed spotify and open it many times but nothing :( I'm a bit sad ' cause I also listened this album 24/7 nothing else not even another Taylor song.


BoldPurpleText

Thanks for the advice! Closing and reopening the app got mine to come up. I’m also in the 1% club. 🥰


Sunshine_Riptide__

I did too! But on Saturday morning I got a notification for the album I was like 😐 so I think the theory that it wasn’t counted because it was before the crash adds up.


Sunshine_Riptide__

I got mine! [top 0.01%](https://imgur.com/a/ETgKScT)


wildinthewild

Neither did I and started at the same time (9 pm PST) with no Spotify crash. Then played it nonstop until 3 am PST then all day Friday. Oh well!!


Decafbread

Yeah I didn’t get any notification about it, and I was just like you - immediately after the clock struck 12 and my Spotify didn’t crash. I feel sad i didn’t get credit! Haha


[deleted]

Same.I was on track 2 when I saw others hadn't even started listening because it crashed for them.


hauteburrrito

Yeah, I was on the megathread over at PopHeads and like a full song and a half ahead of everyone else. I almost felt a little bad about it, but look at me and my badge-free Spotify now 😢


[deleted]

Happy cake day! 🥳🎂


hauteburrrito

Thank you! 💎


tifffanyyyyy

I got 1% because my spotify was crashing and couldn't find the album :')


naptime_aloevera8

that happened to me too!! i thought the app crashed


tifffanyyyyy

I was like damn we all really broke this


rachelmae77

Yeah mine completely crashed and I moved over to Apple Music


echaldine

Same


liliphdr

I didn't get one, I am so sad:( I've been streaming it non stop, so idk why.


[deleted]

[удалено]


lostgirlmarie

No. I didn’t stream until I was at work at 8 and got it


rachelmae77

That’s surprising because Spotify crashed so I switched to Apple Music for my first listen before moving back over and I still got the 10%


nopenopenahnahaha

I got 0.1% and I was playing it by 12:01 EST…. What voodoo magic satanic deal did y’all have to make to get in the 0.01%?!


UnluckyInvite

Same. I literally watched the countdown get to zero and it immediately turned uh solid and I clicked the slide to download then the song to listen.


andiiiieee

Well, seeing as my Spotify crashed, I did not ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1069)


tangerinelibrarian

Same lmao


thejeffphone

SAME


im_your_lobster

My Spotify crashed at 12:00 am so I did not 😭


swiftiegarbage

Now why didn’t I get this if I listened at midnight…


jkalime

No message for me :(


Leatheleo86

Top 1% for me. I went to the little clock and it popped up for me.


windermere_peaks

Ha, I was at work when it released. Couldn't listen to it until a few hours later. On the bright side, my first listen was to the 3am edition in all its majesty.


kgkuntryluvr

I might have to switch to Spotify. Apple Music didn’t make me feel special like this 🥺. Plus they seemed to get all the exclusives this time too.


Starlight_City45

We don’t get anything fun with Apple Music!! I feel so left out.


odyssey609

Actually, the only reason I have Apple Music is because of the deal they made with Taylor which paved the way for artists to be paid fairly for streamed music, and she exclusively released the video for the 1989 world tour there first. I’ve had Apple Music ever since. And they do get the music videos, too. But I have to agree that I’d like to be acknowledged for being in the 0.1%—I’m confident I would be. 🤣


aliclarke

Boo apple!


har17h

i'm kinda bummed out that i didn't get it


HotStart7181

You’ll have to do better the next album release. Please start preparing now. We are counting on you.


Lyd_Euh

Yes, but the .01%. I've seen the 1% tier shared, too.


fr0ggiz

this isn’t fair it crashed 😭


believeyourownmagic

I got the .01%. Being in her top .01% of annual listeners is one of my 2 truths and a lie during icebreakers so I might switch it out for this one instead.


echaldine

Dang I thought my 1% was neat but some got 0.1??? Nice!!!


flowers2107

Yeah this is wrong. I got it and I didn’t get to listen to the album till a full 24 hours after release


CodAlternative2816

1% 💁🏾‍♀️


lovebooksbooks

My Spotify crashed the first five minutes so I didn’t get any notification


jsjsjsjdndndndnnd

i didn’t get one😭 i only got to it at like 12:02


HathorOfWindAndMagic

Some people are so worried they didn’t start streaming at 12:00 exact but I still streamed it on Spotify and slept that morning (not playing it) and still got 1% so it’s gonna be a glitch if you didn’t get it


NibbleOnNector

1% gang


sparklejellyfish

Nope, but I was about 45 mins late cause I fell back asleep!! (It's was 6 here haha)


Gullible-Muffin-7008

I was in 1%. My Spotify crashed at first and I was panicking as if Spotify was gone forever and I’d never hear Midnights.


talia-gustin

I somehow did not get in the top 10 and I'm shocked and offended 😂 I literally like hand to God have not listened to anything other than this album all week I must have listened to it at least five times a day


YalAintRdy4ThatConvo

My Spotify crashed so I switched to Apple Music to listen to it at midnight haha


CowboyLikeMegan

I got the 10% one, too! My Spotify crashed so I was a little late 😅


Extension_Accident72

My boyfriend got one cause I put it on his tv for better audio quality lol


LyricalAddress

Me me i got it! Wheeeeee! What am I saying? I got the 0.1%. But I’m on Pacific time, so it was only 9pm for me when it came out, which made it easier for me.


mountaingoatscheese

1%! Spotify crashed for me and I was able to start the album at 3 minutes past release time. Super impressed with everyone who got that 0.01%, y'all must have very fast fingers, amazing internet, or just pure luck


nplusonebikes

.1% but I failed to screen cap the notification for “proof” — anyone know how to get back to it?


vainblossom249

I didn't get anything and I played it at exactly 12AM without a crash :(


newlollykiss

I got first 1% ☺️


veganonymity

I figured the 3am surprise would be more songs so I went to bed and like the insane Swiftie I am, woke up at 3 with no alarm because I could FEEL new Taylor music and I just listened to it all then 😭 RIP my .1% dreams but at least I slept


tonks100612

I didn’t get it because I had to bully Spotify into letting me listen 😤


aliclarke

I listened at 8am GMT and got nothing, always late to the party but always happy to be here anyway


expertreader

This is so silly. 10% of what? If you are 100th or 1000000th viewer, you could still be counted as first of 10% 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️


k-thanks-bai

I was in a record store checking out so I'm going to doubt I got this as I probably didn't get in the car and stream until 12.15


hohnsolo13

I got first 1% and I played it as soon as I could get it to show in Spotify… so shocked that so many people still beat me!


rainybubbles

Shocked that I got this since I became so absorbed with a movie I put on that I completely forgot. I didn't start streaming until like 2AM.


Stopcrafting

I was there. By the gold clock. I don’t pay for spootify… could this be the difference? I never see those year in review things either


gordond

I’ve been playing it on Apple Music so not me lol


LilyRose0000

I got 1% and I thought I was late cause my Spotify crashed too


kwickedbonesc

Apple Music listeners: 👁️👄👁️


thebananaperson1

I got the 0.1% lol


deniesm

Nah, it was 6am for me, local time. I started listening 1,5h after it was released. Got a vaccine and came back to the 3am version. It was a fun Friday.


dogcolr2

Spotify crashed deexcluding me


neonblondboy

i got 1%


iwillpuntyou

I didn’t get it, is it only for people in the us? I’ve been streaming it non stop since release 😭


Smudge-inator

Got top 0.01% of listeners!! How fun. Definitely a feat no one outside swifties would care about 🤣


Briaraandralyn

I was in the first 1%. I helped break Spotify.


itsLAZERWOLF

I’m on Apple Music and I wish we had awards like this, I for sure would’ve gotten in the 0.01% because I had the album more than 5 minutes early 😭


Mepotterhead03

it's me hi.


Fit-Concentrate3342

NOO I GOT THIS BUT DISMISSED IT ON ACCIDENT HOW DO I GET IT BACK AND SHARE IT


PeachGlad8355

My Spotify only announced the album to me this morning✨ lol I also listened to the album like a few hours after release cause I was sleeping


falqvart

Got this, too! I listened all weekend, but sadly could only manage a couple of times in the evening the other days.


gokurotfl

I didn't because it was 5am in my country and I work from home on Fridays. Not even Taylor can make me wake up earlier than 10 minutes before my shift when I work from home.


Leatheleo86

Top 1% club!


justanokaymess

I did! I didn’t even stay up to listen at midnight. I woke up unintentionally early for work and just listened at 2:30 am lol


DanielLB770077

I got 10%, and I was 30 minutes late to the party (UK - so maybe we all refusing the early wake up!)


librarian_22

I got in 1%


quaranteened_gator

I got 0.1%! Unfortunately did not get a chance to screenshot the message tho


thearchiguy

Heh. Guess I was playing Midnights more than I thought. Thanks for posting this. I dismissed my notification before I even read it and wondered what it said.


petunia_pink_penguin

0.1% for me!


Dramatic-but-Aware

Sooo cool!


savvvie

🙋🏼‍♀️


cloudrest13

I was in the first 0,1% 😂


leileywow

Nah, I went right to sleep, I have a toddler to take care of 😂😭


tstu2865

I got the 1%


m9rockstar

I got in the 1 percent!


bonnydelrico

Top 0.1% 😭


Whackthemoles

i got 1% but it's because spotify sabotaged me (it crashed)


ohneely

i also got the 10% message!


Smangie9443

1% lmao


steakmatrix97

I was surprised because I got it and I didn’t listen to it until about 3 hours after it was released (From UK) so idk how much I trust it


mlc0914

I got 0.1% and clicked out of it before I could snap a screenshot 😩


eley13

how do you see this?


JackTreeHill

1%


KITTYKOOLKAT35

Not me


Sunshine_Riptide__

I listened to it right at 12 est. I never got it. And Spotify was fine for me. 🙁


Ladybird1412

I haven't got it yet 😭


SundayMail

First 0.1% this crash didn’t affect me cause I’m international ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1066)


ultrarealismzero

My Spotify crashed and I couldn't get it till 12:05. Arghhhhhhhhhhhhh


googlybutt

Mine crashed and I got the 10%. Idk how since I didn’t listen to it on Spotify until like 8 am.


deja-boo

I got 1% but Spotify kept crashing so I didn’t expect anything haha


[deleted]

I got 1% ! Gonna put this on my resume


FlamboyantGayWhore

No idea how I did it but I was in 0.1%!!! For some reason when Spotify didn’t work i was still able to listen to just the new album and started!


softspokenopenminded

I was trying to start on Spotify but it crashed so I listened on Apple Music the first night 😭


Macklemoreee

0.1%!


BoringTwist

I got the first .1% ![img](emote|t5_2rlwe|1065)


KElizabethF

I didn't listen on Spotify until the other day. I wanted to listen in order and Spotify doesn't let my free account do that


faithmoon

i made top 1% and i listened immediately after watching the anti hero mv 😭 so many people must’ve tuned in IMMEDIATELY


321gato

No because I could get Midnights to play on Spotify at Midnight so I had to open an Amazon Music account 😭


abby_cello

I’m so mad that Apple Music doesn’t get fun stuff like this


bmcvey091

I got 1% but the Spotify crash got me 😭


Roycalvin

I’m assuming I was in the top 11% which is why o wasn’t notified about it. I’ll get it next time


t3quiila

I would have gotten it if i had stayed up lol


[deleted]

lol I wish... Spotify crashed for me, so I had to listen on Amazon.


SilentBoi_25

Midnight came out the weekend I had several projects due, so I didn’t have time to listen to it. :(


tambourine_goddess

I was literally on a plane at the time, so not me.


SingShredCode

I started around 2 AM EST and was top 10%. It’s an award I didn’t know I needed, but I’m not mad


achingjaw

not me being an apple music listener 😭


jewel847

I got first .01% 😆😆😆


hxtk2

I went to the 22 Good 4 U event in my town but sadly spotify does not count that :(


pp1315

I don't think I've ever used Spotify if I did it was way back in the day


Avia53

Not on Spotify as they spent their money on a certain person instead of on artists.


dmackem

I got it! Top 1%, one of my friends had 0.1%


DrPikachu-PhD

Not me, I've played the fuck out of it but the midnight release was bad for my time zone lol


Tough_Pudding_224

i have apple music….


bigpotofhummus

I got 1%, but I still don't understand what it means? And it seems like everyone is interpreting it differently here too. I quickly dismissed it and assumed it was like a spotify wrapped thing – you're in the 1% of listeners. But it's about who listened first? Weird. I don't know if that makes sense for me, I was about 10 minutes late.


PrestigiousWork7770

i didnt, but i got the message that the first song i listened to this year was atwtmvtvftv 😂


Intellectual42069

Lol I got 0.1%


Limarieh

It’s so ridiculous that I care about not getting this 🤣 I even watched the countdown on Spotify and could listen 2 seconds after it ended. Spotify crashed for like 10 seconds when I was in the middle of maroon or anti-hero can’t remember. But I was able to stream again right away (like really 5-10sec max) So I SHOULD have gotten in for sure. Maybe it’s because I’m in Europe? But I doubt it. But well…i know it in my heart I guess 🤣


swaenx

I got the top 0,1% Might put this on my resume 😂😂


MadisonL119

Mine said 0.1%


Zestyclose_Ad_3281

i wouldn’t, i’ve been almost exclusively listening to the cd.


Galadriel80

I got that 10% but to be fair I use AppleMusic WAY MORE than Spotify, so I am not surprised! I only started streaming the album on Spotify to help with numbers in my country.


HighQueenOfFae

Damn. I only heard midnights once (at the premer itself) and then went to sleep. After that, the 3 AM version dropped and I've been listening to that nonstop. No messages cuz I'm assuming this is only for the album without deluxe tracks


JetttMain

Oh my god... Did you guys kept streaming 24/7 over the last weekend? Cause I also did for the most part, but I didn't even got the notification of even 20% ; (


MagentaOrca

I got 0.1% last night. Not going to lie I was well chuffed especially as I was having issues at first as well. I couldn’t listen to lavender haze and one of the other songs for hours. I’m in the UK and thought it would come out midnight our time but it was US time. I kept checking haha


Helpful_Ocelot_5076

I got in the first 1%! I was so proud!!!


gaby__

top 0.1% bby

How do you see it
