Taylor Swift is the Queen of Pop, literally no one can get past her. This also applies to the US Billboard charts, it occupies a total of 32 places, even with hits from 2019.
Taylor Swift’s double album “The Tortured Poets Department” was released on April 19th and was streamed 14.4 million times in just 24 hours. In doing so, she set a new record; no artist had ever achieved so many streams on the day of release.
But that’s not all, the Swifties not only streamed the new album until they dropped, older songs, like the track “Cruel Summer”, which she released in August 2019, also appeared again in the Billboard “Hot 100” charts. Of course, every song from Taylor Swift’s current album is currently in the charts.
