Taylor Swift Makes History As First Artist To Occupy Top 14 Spots On Billboard Hot 100 Chart; Fortnight Leads Way
The remarkable feat showcases Swift's unparalleled impact on the music industry and solidifies her status as one of the most influential artists of her generation.
When Swifties claimed that Taylor Swift is the entire music industry, they weren't exaggerating. The Billboard Hot 100 chart, the most coveted measure of a musician's success, is now proof of it.
On the said chart, Taylor Swift achieved one of the biggest record-shattering weeks in history, as she claimed the top 14 positions on the survey dated May 4. All 14 songs are from Swift’s latest double album, The Tortured Poets Department, released on April 19, with Fortnight ft. Post Malone leading the way.
Taylor Swift is also the only artist to have previously dominated the entire top 10 — thanks to her 2022 album Midnights, led by the record’s Anti-Hero. In addition to Swift's 12th Hot 100 No. 1 track with Fortnight, all 31 songs from the deluxe version of TTPD, plus Cruel Summer from Lover, also secured spots on the Hot 100 list this week.
The Hot 100 combines all genres of U.S. streaming (official audio and video), radio airplay, and sales data, with sales data accounting for the purchase of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers, per Billboard.
