As the clock struck 12AM ET Friday, music fans began streaming Taylor Swift’s new album “The Life of a Showgirl.” Radio programmers, meanwhile, began spinning songs from the album.<\/p>\n
As that album release moment technically came prior to midnight in non-ET US markets, spins from some stations — notably west coast ones — counted as Thursday airplay.<\/p>\n
According to Mediabase, several songs registered multiple<\/em>spins at high-profile stations. “Opalite,” for example, amassed 4 plays from Z100 Portland, 2 from 102.7 KIIS Los Angeles, and 2 from 99.7 NOW San Francisco.<\/p>\n “The Fate of Ophelia,” positioned as the official focus single, received 3 from Z100 Portland and 2 from a handful of stations: KIIS, 99.7 NOW, MOViN 92.5 Seattle, Power Salt Lake City, Hits 93.1 Bakersfield.<\/p>\n “Elizabeth Taylor” garnered 2 plays from each of Z100 Portland and KIIS. “CANCELLED!” and “The Life Of A Showgirl (featuring Sabrina Carpenter)” received 2 from KIIS.<\/p>\n All US stations are sure to continue spinning songs from the album throughout Friday (and likely the whole weekend).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Several songs from the album received spins Thursday night.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":171458,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[925,17321,17322,3649,145,17320,17319],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
