Let’s face it. It’s Taylor Swift’s world and we’re all just living in it.
Nothing proves the point more than her latest record-breaker. Swift holds not one, not two, not even three of the top spots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
On the latest Hot 100, she has 32 songs on the list — all 31 from the deluxe version of “The Tortured Poets Department” and “Cruel Summer” from her earlier release. It it the most songs by a woman in a single Hot 100 week, Billboard said.
The Hot 100 compiles all genres that are streaming, playing on radio, ranked by sales data.
“The Tortured Poets Department” is Swift’s 11th studio album, The Washington Post reported.
The album is her 14th No. 1 album on the charts. She ties with Jay-Z with the most No. 1s by a solo artist. The Beatles have the record of No. 1 albums with 19, the newspaper reported.
“TTPD sold the equivalent of 2.6 million albums,” The New York Times reported.
Swift wrote on X/Twitter, “My mind is blown.”
