This year, while we are still in a pandemic, music community is starting to get back to somewhat of normalcy, like live concerts and studio being used again, but still some effects are still being felt and still artists making music in their homes ... plus Taylor Swift, like The Beatles and The Monkees b4 her, had release 3 albums in a calendar year, including reworks of her previous albums, like "Fearless" and "Red".

The slowest song to reach the top this year was Dua Lipa's "Levitating" as it took 36 weeks (3 weeks short from the AT40 record (Current record is 39 by "Before You Go" done last year by Lewis Capaldi). She (when it was the DaBaby remix) orginally peaked at #4 in late January and fell as far as #35 in mid-May til she moved back after radio starting playing due to a TikTok following and rose back up the chart and hit #1 in early July.

The longest-running hit was "Blinding Lights" by The Weeknd as logs in 64 weeks, spent 5 weeks at #1, he tied the record for more stints at #1 with 3 (the others includes Post Malone's "Circles" and Chic's "Le Freak")
And the Top 3 songs of 2021 are, *drumroll*
