Good for Taylor! 

I am being serious when I say this is where I first heard Cruel Summer. Taylor, give Matthew Macfadyen a little check...just a little one.

What’s interesting though is that Madonna and Rihanna are the only ones from this list who were able to have comparable legendary singles chart runs internationally. Even just talking about English-speaking countries like the UK, Australia, Canada, and Ireland. 

Thanks again for the stats, @kalbir

@DRW50  LOL at the video.  Throughout the series, I wondered: will they or won't they between those two.  🤣

You're welcome @Toups

"Is It Over Now?" is Taylor's 11th #1 song as a singer/writer and 5th #1 as a producer.  "Now That We Don't Talk" becomes Taylor's 9th song to peak at #2.   This week also becomes the 2nd time in history with no male artist in the top 10.  The first time was when Taylor had the entire top 10 back in October 2022. 

Among solo artists, Taylor Swift has moved past Stevie Wonder and Janet Jackson and is now tied with Whitney Houston.

The next solo artists in line for her to tie with are Madonna (12), Michael Jackson (13), Drake (13), and Rihanna (14).

Among all artists, Taylor Swift is the 9th artist to reach 11 #1s on the Billboard Hot 100, joining The Beatles (20), Mariah Carey (19), Rihanna (14), Michael Jackson (13), Drake (13), The Supremes (12), Madonna (12), Whitney Houston (11).

3rd time in her career that Taylor has replaced herself at #1 - the second time was last week. 

"The Beatles return with “Now and Then,” their landmark 35th top 10 – extending their record for the most among groups – and their first since 1996. "

 

Snooze seems to cling on for dear life, as Kill Bill did. I don't really know how SZA does it with the claims of having poor management.

Well, well, Brenda Lee!

 

Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" officially hits No. 1 on this week's #Hot100.

It tops the chart 63 years after its debut, setting a new record for the longest climb to No. 1 in history.

It earns Lee her third career No. 1, after "I'm Sorry" and "I Want To Be…

At 78 years old, Brenda Lee is now the oldest artist in history to earn a new No. 1 song on the #Hot100.

Louis Armstrong previously held the record. He was 62 years old when “Hello, Dolly!” hit No. 1 in 1964.
