Double album used to mean an album that needed 2 CDs to fit, which this technically qualifies as, but the meaning kind of changed since that’s not how we (mainly) consume music anymore. So

It’s better to just see it as bonus songs - you can’t fit that much on vinyl etc. I’m a big fan but I agree it can’t be classed as two albums really

i’m just considering it as a double drop instead of a double album. we basically got double the songs so like a really special deluxe edition that could be seen as a second album.

in my opinion, it’s a double album in the sense that it clearly has 2 parts to it, the standard edition has its own specific sound and theme, and the 2am edition, while similar, was an entirely

I think part of it is just to surprise fans because it makes people excited to listen to more than they expected <3

I think an album is traditionally about 15 songs length, so with 30+song she basically published 2 albums worth of songs

it’s 100% partly a marketing ploy but it also lies in the length of the album itself, length defines whether its an album or an ep or whatever so it’s the sheer amount of number - it’s a double album

She goes along with fan theories. People were suspecting a double album and she ran with the idea. It’s more like a deluxe album.

Will both albums be able to chart? Could she potentially have the number 1 AND number 2 spot on the chart next week with essentially one album

there’s the original album tdpd and then there’s the bonus tracks which aren’t in the original album!!! i think you’d like “who’s afraid of little old me” it reminds me of harry potters character sm!!

it's not two individual albums. the "double" drop was js a digital deluxe ver of the first thing with an additional 15 songs, giving us a total of 31. so it's js a long album, not a marketing scheme.

Cheap marketing ploy, that sums up Taylor Swift as an artist perfectly.

Defo about the money. I ordered the cd which doesn’t have all 30+ songs. I also don’t have a streaming app,I guess i won’t be listening to it all 😂

I think sonically the 2 parts are very different but it def isn’t 2 seperate albums no one’s calling that ts12

A double album would be a body of work that exceeds the typical length of the medium it's on. So a single vinyl record holds about 44 minutes of music, but if you wrote 75 minutes of material

So back in the 90s a double album was an album that went over two CDs. Sometimes they would be songs that worked on themes from the first CD, but took different styles etc.

It is technically one album but long, but in traditional terms it wouldn’t fit on one CD hence double album. That’s just the language being kinda outdated more than anything

I think it's because it's 31 songs which is more then a standard release. but it's technically 1 album, it will chart as 1 album

You just can’t fit this length of an album (31 songs) into one physical copy(realistically)so they add it to the og album no ploy you can stream it for free added songs only exists digitally for now.

I think it’s partly so there’s something to surprise us with. We knew the tracklist and the original songs had even leaked before the album released but we knew almost nothing about the extra songs

I think it was honestly just a nice surprise for fans, she loves giving Easter eggs about new music and a double album was one of them. And the og album was leaked which kinda ruined it for people.

the first one is mostly produced by jack and the second is mostly aaron. marketing and sales sure but maybe it has something to do w its conceptions of a 2 parter in one season

a regular album is usually 15 songs. so double album means additional songs hence "double". side a + side b. 15+15. cant really explain it any simpler

At the end of the day, she’s a business woman disguised as an artist. From an artist standpoint, I think an album should not be this long but hey the more the merrier for the fans.

It's the same album but she kept half the tracks secret. Two vinyls (both called TTPS) because you can only fit so many songs on one vinyl. That's my understanding of it.

Her albums have different themes / tastes / eras of her life or episodes if you like. They will be different styles :)

i think that cds aren’t big enough to fit all songs maybe? so they need 2 cds hence double album? idk

It’s basically all one album but the first part had 16 songs and the next one 15. She has been teasing this double album thing for like years I think. I guess what makes it a double album was that

there's a regular album and then basically the deluxe album which has double the number of tracks which has the same name and then the anthology suffixed to it. other artists have had a similar

Personally I see it as one album, The Tortured Poets Department, and the second album is what other artists would release as a “deluxe” or “extended edition”. But like deluxe albums normally are later

you'd need more vinyls for that. CD's also can't hold 31 songs. would have to be part 1/2. This just makes it more fun. + this way this cant be leaked

it may seem like that but the second album has a whole different vibe to it. it’s more a dark theme with a lot less synth and more lyrics and poetry. so it’s different but also like the “sister” of it

Gray :
Half the songs are exclusively on streaming right now, physical copies with the extra 16 songs don’t exist yet. So I’d argue it’s one album with a deluxe version

a single album tends to have 10 to 15 tracks a double is sometimes because 2 CDs are needed to fit all the songs on if there's more than 1 cd allows
