Taylor Swift Sells Albums, But Doesn’t Stream Singles: Here’s the Top 50 for 2023, Starting with Morgan Wallen

Share

Taylor Swift may have sold a million albums this year. She’s an album machine.

But when it comes to streaming, Taylor didn’t make the top 10, according to hitsdailydouble.com. Her songs are scattered through the top 50 chart, but they aren’t on a pair with some other acts.

Morgan Wallen was number 1 in streaming with the song, “Last Night.” It had over 963 million streams. Wallen also had the number 9 song with “You Proof,” at over 488 million. Wallen has been forgiven by the country crowd for being caught using the N word on video tape. I prefer Sturgill Simpson.

Wallen also had three more on the top 50. Taylor had four altogether, but none in the top 50.

SZA was number 2 with “Kill Bill,” and number 7 with “Snoose.” Miley Cyrus was number 3 with “Flowers.” The top 5 is rounded out by Zach Bryan, and The Weeknd with Ariana Grande.

Just based on these numbers, it feels like SZA is headed for Album of the Year at the Grammys, “Flowers” will be Best Record, and Taylor will get Best Song for “Anti-Hero.”
