Just a day after learning her most highly anticipated album re-record, ‘1989 (TV),’ opened atop the Billboard 200 with the biggest first-week sales of her carer to date, Taylor Swift is seeing tunes from the project break records aboard the Hot 100 as well.

Just a day after learning her most highly anticipated album re-record, ‘1989 (TV),’ opened atop the Billboard 200 with the biggest first-week sales of her carer to date, Taylor Swift is seeing tunes from the project break records aboard the Hot 100 as well.

Printed Monday (November 6), the refreshed Billboard Hot 100 sees Swift occupying 8 of its top 10 positions with ‘Is It Over Now’ leading the pack.

Here are the numbers that powered the latter’s placement at the hitlist’s pinnacle.

Streams: 32 million U.S.-based streams
Radio airplay: 4.7 million audience impressions
Sales: 5,000 digital downloads
The sixth #1 debut of her career, ‘Over Now’ comes as the 1,159th song to top the Hot 100 over the chart’s 65-year history (and only the 73rd to premiere in the top spot).

Her 11th overall chart-topper, the Jack Antonoff-produced tune moves Taylor up on the all-time list of women with the most Hot 100 #1s.

Tied with Janet Jackson just weeks ago when the 2019 smash, ‘Cruel Summer,’ ascended to the top, now Swift has matched the record of late Pop icon Whitney Houston.

 

With the inclusion of ‘Over Now,’ Swift – thanks to ‘Midnights‘ hit ‘Anti-Hero‘ and ‘Summer’ – becomes the first woman to top the Hot 100 with 3 different songs from 3 distinct albums in a single year.

As if that’s not enough to boast, she now owns 49 cumulative top 10 hits – extending her record for most among women. Among all acts, only Drake has more (76).
