Taylor Swift - "Cruel Summer"

[avamaxstan]

What an amazing unimaginable run it’s been. Now it can pass the torch to Jack next week and fade into hibernation until next summer.

[musiclife]

How much longer till it passes Shake It Off?

[Acid Eyes]

In terms of pop, think CS is a shoe-in for her biggest hit.

In terms of the Hot 100, this is her current top 10:

1. Anti-Hero
2. Shake It Off
3. You Belong With Me
4. Blank Space
5. Love Story
6. I Knew You Were Trouble.
7. Cruel Summer
8. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
9. Bad Blood
10. I Don't Wanna Live Forever

I can see CS getting up to #3 or #4 but I'm not sure it breaks the top 2 unless it lasts a full year on the chart. It'll get pushed up and down quite a bit in the next few weeks (Xmas pushing it down, year-end countdowns and the AC thaw pulling it back up). It'll be its February airplay and streams that will determine just how big of a legacy this has.

[avamaxstan]

I think not only will it continue to perform well throughout the winter, but it will resurge next summer and continuously for years. It will cross 3B on Spotify and it will also eventually become her longest running Hot 100 entry.

And Lover will be the most streamed album by a female artist on Spotify. We love to see it!

What an anthem, what a discography.

Where are these calculated? Is there a place to look them up?

Isn't SIO still her #1?

based on tanooki's updates, SIO has 915k points and Anti-Hero 902k. AH will probably return to the chart in January, and we'll see then.

Grün , link you can see it here, in the Spreadhsheet (just click the section 'Greatest of all time' when it enters). Both tanooki and rockgolf are great chart predictors, but tanooki has the spreadsheet with updates.

To me, it's such a crock of shit that Taylor still hasn't been able to sneak past Miley on AC for #1. Like... CS is newer on the format than 'Flowers', could that one not have died harder in the holiday changeover?! Now we'll probably have to wait til next year for this to go #1 there, if at all.

How many weeks has Flowers been #1 on AC?

[Az Paynter]

This looks to be Miley's 35th week straight at #1 on AC (at least on Mediabase). She's about to break a longevity record for time spent at #1; 36 weeks ties the longest run, 37 weeks breaks it. Due to holiday airplay it'll be a Christmas song that replaces Miley at the top at this rate (probably Cher), and once the format bounces back Miley's probably going straight back to #1.

[musiclife]

That's insane...

Still gaining on Hot AC. I don't want this to end. 🥺

[Acid Eyes]

ARC Weekly Top 40 has already declared this her biggest pop hit (unseating YBWM) despite it still sitting at #4 on their chart.

It mostly follows Mediabase (with a bit of influence from sales).

I think it is her biggest hit. It's a shame the Christmas songs are gonna push it down.
