Taylor Swift leaps to no. 1 on Hot 100
|
Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do" blasts from No. 77 (where it debuted) to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart (dated September 16), following its first full week of data tracking. After its August 25 release, the song soars to the top with the highest weekly streaming and sales sums for a track in 2017 and breaks the record for the most weekly streams ever for a song by a woman.
"Look" - released on Big Machine/Republic Records and the first single from Swift's album Reputation (her first since 1989 in 2014), due November 10 - is her fifth Hot 100 No. 1. It also dethrones Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee's "Despacito", featuring Justin Bieber, which a week ago tied the record for the most weeks spent at No. 1 (16) in the Hot 100's 59-year history.

If I were asked to name a song by Taylor Swift, I could only say "Shake It Off" because Mariah has a song with the same title, but I'm glad Taylor soared to #1. Many had come close to tying the 16 weeks record, but nobody had been able to tie it or surpass it up until Despacito joined them at the top last week. Mariah and Boyz II Men broke the then current record setting a new one, and they're still holding that record. This time though they're in the presence of new company. Justin likes Mariah and has worked with her twice, and Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee representing the Latino community. Let's see how long can this record last. The fact that this record was almost broken after all these years made me realize that I don't care much about it anymore. I do really care about Mariah thinking outside her books and weaves putting good music out, she's still capable. Unforgettable is an example of that.
