It's very possible because there's no signs of Taylor slowing down.   "Lavender Haze" is likely to be the next official single and it's a very radio-friendly/catchy song.  Then whatever songs she decides to promote for the Speak Now and 1989 re-records during release week will also have a chance to go to #1, so that's three songs right now for 2023.   So that will bring her total to 12, moving ahead of Janet and Whitney.  

Then 2024 will probably be the re-records of reputation and her debut album, so that could be another 2 #1s which would bring her total to 14, moving ahead of Madonna and tying Rihanna (assuming she never releases an album.....come on girl, we're waiitng! LOL).  

Then 2025 will probably be a new album an another #1 song, so that will be 15 #1s, moving ahead of Rihanna, and only 4 behind Mariah.   I could see Taylor beating Mariah's 19 #1s before the decade is over, with the assumption she doesn't take a break for marriage and/or a baby.  Oh and there's also another potential number one with a song from her feature film directorial debut.

Perhaps, because Rihanna would have definitely moved passed Elvis and Mariah by now if she has kept up with releasing music. 

Though, it's really hard to even compare a #1 in this era vs. one from the 80's and 90's. If Madonna and Janet were operating under the same chart rules as Swift and Rhianna during their commercial peaks, they likely would have had a lot more #1's. Hell, Madonna herself had 6 singles that peaked at #2 on the Hot 100, which used to be a record (maybe it still is?). Fair or not, it was a lot harder to hit #1 in that era than it is now for a super popular artist. 

It was also very unusual for female artists to have huge singles success until Madonna and Whitney Houston's emergence in the mid-80's. They broke a glass ceiling of sorts that rivaled and surpassed success of male artists of that time (and before). Before Madonna scored her 10th #1 hit with 'This Used To Be My Playground' in 1992, the only female act that had amassed that many #1 hits was The Supremes in the 60's (they had 12, which would also be the amount Madonna would amass on the Hot 100).

Elvis has 7 as well, but some of those may have come in the era pre-dating the establishment of the Hot 100 or been double-sided singles. Swift would have the record in the Hot 100 era, edging out Madonna's 6 #2's. It's all very convoluted depending on what the chart rules are at the time, which is why I caution comparing artists from different eras and their commercial peaks.

It looks like radio (and the new rules, maybe) is helping "Anti-Hero" stay at #1.   This week it hit 88.5 million radio airplay audience impressions, up from 83.8 million.  With 8 weeks at #1, "Anti-Hero" passes "Blank Space" to become Taylor's longest #1 song. She's had #1s in between songs, but this is her first big hit since "Blank Space" in late 2014-early 2015.

SZA blocked by Miley! When I first heard "Flowers," I didn't think it would blow up like this.  Apparently, it's huge on TikTok?   Two years ago this month, "Drivers License" had a similar debut.  Maybe January is a good month to release breakup songs?  LOL

    • @BroderickThank you for the reply. Such acting that they Sharon Gabet and the actor playing Draper still played their relationship after it's over. I picked up on it even though I had no idea about their history. That's such good acting/continuity.  Raven has just moved to London and a custody battle is now brewing for Jamey.
    • Ha-ha-ha, I thought it was Marland who turned Mike into a jerk, but apparently not. I get that they probably felt the Mike/Leslie story had run its course, but they should have at least let them have a kid. Especially since they were soon ensnaring him in a storyline with a woman who couldn't have children (Elizabeth). Of course, no one could have predicted there would be a dearth of Bauers a few years later. I remember this! I remember Holly sitting by the phone, desperate for Ed to call so they could stop the divorce. I forgot it was Rita who never gave him the message. What a bitch.

       But, yeah, this is the Rita I remember at the beginning: very determined to bag Ed. I contend that Holly never, ever got over it, never stopped regretting that the divorce went through. I wish at some point over the years they had let Holly and Ed reunite for more than a brief affair. It feels like a thread that was left hanging. There she is! I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.
    • In the interview posted on knotslanding.net, William Devane described the Greg/Paige storyline as "juvenile".  From that interview I also got the impression that William Devane was on his way out near the end so he wouldn't have returned if there was a season 15.
    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.  
    • I was fine with Greg and Paige as a couple (ick factors and all, lol).  What I didn't like was how juvenile their push-and-pull was, with Greg alienating her repeatedly and arbitrarily, and Paige leaving him and/or The Sumner Group in a huff, only to come back together, like, thirty minutes later, lol. I get that Greg was not someone who enjoyed sharing his feelings with others, but c'mon.  He was a little too old for all that on-again/off-again [!@#$%^&*]; and so was Paige, and so were we. Mary Robeson wasn't her aunt, though.  Thanks to WBTV's Primetime Soaps app, I was able to rewatch all of S14, and I learned, in fact, Mary was her aunt - which I guess made Joe her uncle? Truly, I thank the streaming gods for being able to rewatch the final season, because, for the past 30+ years, I never was able to understand how Mary and Joe, Nick and Vanessa, Val's disappearance and Treadwell (and Abby) all fit together; and even now, it still seems a trifle sketchy to me.  (The shortened season and reduced budget wreaked some havoc on the storytelling, did it not, lol?)  But I do appreciate the attempt, because it's probably the first time since Val's pregnancy that the show even attempted to tie the cast together under the same story umbrella. And even if she was trepidatious (sp?) about raising Meg alone, she wasn't the type to express those feelings outwardly.  Laura wasn't going to fidget and cry like Val, or shout wild-eyedly at others like Karen.
    • Oh Lord! They don't dare put her near Jacob. 
    • And knowing Hayley she’d somehow feel like she was the victim
