Taylor Swift Swamps Spotify Singles Charts But Shout Out Doesn’t Help Charlie Puth

Share

Taylor Swift has broken all of her own records this weekend.

On Spotify, she’s taken the top 32 of 34 positions. Only two other songs — by Hozier, and by Future — are folded in there.

Swift also has two more singles on the Spotify top 50, making an unforgettable 34 entries.

“Fortnight,” which sounds a lot like a Lana Del Rey song, is number 1 with 25 million total streams. Of those, 10 million are just from today.

As I reported before, Taylor has all 31 tracks from “The Tortured Poets Department” on the iTunes top 50.

“Fortnight” includes a shout out to Charlie Puth, but it hasn’t helped put one of his singles on the chart.

Swift is so all encompassing on the charts that no one cares that Drake has a new rap single. Beyonce’s songs have been completely eclipsed.

Taylor will rule the charts until Dua Lipa’s new release on May 3rd. Next after that is Billie Eilish’s release on May 17th — in four weeks.
