The only regions with charts are either the anglosphere or Europe. Love Story was a global smash and so was Fearless. 

Love Story has nearly 2 billion streams on QQ Music China and I Knew You Were Trouble is close to 1 billion. That's more than they do on Spotify. Smashing in countries with a GDP comparable to Massachusetts isn't the basis of globality. 

Does Morgan even have a billion career streams outside the US combined? 

Is that really disputable? Some facts:

- The Fame, The E.N.D and I Am... Sasha Fierce (albums against which Taylor competed at the 2010 Grammys) were undoubtly much more ubiquious than Fearless in pretty much every country in the world not named US or (maybe) Canada. If we focus the conversation on singles and forget album sales, one could argue she wasn't tier A even in North America.

- Speak Now had even less international reach.

- Taylor surely wasn't one of the few global acts that could afford to perform in stadiums across Europe, Oceania and even South-America in the early 2010's.

Love Story and (to some extent) You Belong With Me might have played catch-up, but that doesn't change the fact that at the time there was a level or two of global superstardom above her.

By the way, hi everybody! Glad to join Pulse!

Glad we all agree she wasn't local and didn't reach her peak until 1989. An attempt was made tho

btw I looked and Love Story wasn’t even Top 10 for digital single sales in the US in 2009….

Taylor is a global icon now (because she went Pop) so of course any of her hits can have 2B streams if they are well-remembered or fan-favorites. Won't change the fact that Love Story was not a European smash when it was released.

6. Taylor Swift Love Story 6.5m

Sixth biggest song globally of 2009. 

Pointless info as long as you don't say how many percent of those sales came from anglosphere countries

[iHype.]

Love Story & You Belong were notable hits but I can see how thinking Taylor Swift herself wasn’t a *huge* or yet established name outside of Country audiences at the time.

Even as someone who lived in US but doesn’t follow Country music, her debut era I have zero memory of and Fearless she was mentioned here and there with her songs played a bit but nothing that stuck out.

That’s why you even had the whole fiasco of people literally claiming Kanye made her famous in 2009 lol. It sums up perfectly that at an a non-Country music event like VMAs, many people did not know much of who she was at that point.

Kind of akin to most non-Country listeners I know wouldn’t recognize Morgan Wallen or their music despite the chart dominance, and if they have heard of him it was prob cause the n-word controversy rather than the music.

Speak Now was definitely pretty forgettable singles wise let’s be real, so I didn’t really notice her consistently until Red. If I can say that as someone who lives in US, I can definitely see many people outside not being familiar with her at all in any way until the mid 2010s when she went Pop.

[forg]

Here in my country, Teardrops on My Guitar was a hit but the one that really catapulted her to major success here (and likely Southeast Asia) is Love Story but I do think 1989 broaden her appeal even more

Miley Cyrus’ ‘Flowers’ Tops Billboard Hot 100 for Third Week, Lil Uzi Vert’s ‘Just Wanna Rock’ Hits Top 10
Cyrus matches the three-week reign of her previous No. 1, "Wrecking Ball." Plus, The Weeknd's "Die for You" takes over as the most-heard hit on radio.


By Gary Trust
www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/miley-cyrus-flowers-lil-uzi-vert-just-wanna-rock-hot-100-top-10-1235213867/
02/6/2023


Miley Cyrus’ “Flowers” leads the Billboard Hot 100 for a third week, encompassing its entire run on the chart so far, dating to its launch at No. 1. With its continued command, it ties the three-week rule of her prior leader, “Wrecking Ball,” in 2013.

Meanwhile, The Weeknd’s “Die for You,” back up to its No. 6 best on the Hot 100, becomes the most-heard hit on radio, reaching the top of the Radio Songs chart, and Lil Uzi Vert notches his seventh Hot 100 top 10 as “Just Wanna Rock” rises from No. 12 to No. 10.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Feb. 11, 2023) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Feb. 7). For all chart news, you can follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.


“Flowers,” released on Smiley Miley/Columbia Records, drew 56.4 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 38%) and 48 million streams (down 20%) and sold 37,000 (down 43%) Jan. 27-Feb. 2, according to Luminate.

The single spends a third week at No. 1 on both the Streaming Songs and Digital Song Sales charts and blasts 11-6 on Radio Songs, where it becomes Cyrus’ fourth top 10 – and first since “Wrecking Ball” (No. 4 peak, 2013). She first reached the region with “The Climb” (No. 7) and returned with “Party in the U.S.A.” (No. 8), both in 2009.

With “Flowers” having drawn 48 million weekly streams in the latest tracking week, after it posted 59.7 million the week before and 52.6 million the week before that, it’s the first non-holiday song with three consecutive weeks of 40 million streams or more since Olivia Rodrigo’s “Good 4 U” logged four such frames in a row (May 29-June 19, 2021).

“Flowers” likewise links a sales streak not achieved since 2021, as it’s the first song to sell over 30,000 in three consecutive weeks, after moving 65,000 a week ago and 70,000 the week prior to that, since Coldplay and BTS’ “My Universe” sold over 30,000 in each of its first four weeks (Oct. 9-30, 2021).

“Flowers” introduces Cyrus’ eighth studio album, Endless Summer Vacation, due March 10.

SZA’s “Kill Bill” ranks at its No. 2 Hot 100 best for a fourth week, with 48.6 million in radio reach (up 28%), 32.5 million streams (down 5%) and 2,000 sold (down 3%). It tops Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot R&B Songs, which use the same methodology as the Hot 100, for an eighth week each. The track also becomes her first top 10 as a lead artist on Radio Songs (15-10), and her third overall, following her featured roles on Maroon 5’s “What Lovers Do” (No. 5, 2017) and Doja Cat’s “Kiss Me More” (No. 2, 2021).

Metro Boomin, The Weeknd and 21 Savage’s “Creepin’ ” rises to a new No. 3 high on the Hot 100, from No. 4; Taylor Swift’s “Anti-Hero” slips 3-4, after leading for a personal-best eight weeks; and Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy” holds at No. 5, after it ruled for a week in October.


The Weeknd’s “Die for You” rebounds to its No. 6 Hot 100 best, from No. 7, as it hits No. 1 on Radio Songs, up 5% to 85.2 million in airplay audience. The track tops Radio Songs over six years after its original release on The Weeknd’s album Starboy, sparked by a surge of interaction on TikTok in recent months, which led Republic Records to officially promote it to radio.

The Weeknd adds his fifth Radio Songs No. 1, following “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)” (for four weeks), “Can’t Feel My Face” (seven) and “The Hills” (five), all in 2015, and “Blinding Lights,” which dominated for a record 26 weeks in April-October 2020.

Starboy previously generated two top-three Radio Songs hits: its title cut (No. 2, 2016) and “I Feel It Coming” (No. 3, 2017), both featuring Daft Punk. (“Die for You” completes the longest journey from a title’s release to its coronation on Radio Songs since the chart began in 1990.)

David Guetta and Bebe Rexha’s “I’m Good (Blue)” descends 6-7 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 4, as it leads the multi-metric Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart for a 20th week; Drake and 21 Savage’s “Rich Flex” is steady at No. 8 on the Hot 100, after it reached No. 2, as it tops the multi-metric Hot Rap Songs chart for a 12th week; and Harry Styles’ “As It Was” holds at No. 9 on the Hot 100, following 15 weeks at No. 1 beginning last April, the fourth-longest rule in the chart’s history.


Rounding out the Hot 100’s top tier, Lil Uzi Vert’s “Just Wanna Rock” jumps 12-10 with 28.7 million in airplay audience (up 10%), 15 million streams (up 5%) and 1,400 sold (up 14%).

The rapper lands his seventh Hot 100 top 10 with the stand-alone single, following his featured turn on Migos’ “Bad and Boujee” (three weeks at No. 1, 2017) and his own “XO TOUR Llif3” (No. 7, 2017), “Futsal Shuffle 2020” (No. 5, 2019), “Baby Pluto” (No. 6, 2020), “Lo Mein” (No. 8, 2020) and “Silly Watch” (No. 9, 2020).

Rock on: “Just Wanna Rock” is the first Hot 100 top 10 with “rock” in its title since … well, just last month, when two holiday classics decorated the tier: “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree,” by Brenda Lee, and “Jingle Bell Rock,” by Bobby Helms, ranked at their respective Nos. 2 and 3 peaks. One other such song has rolled to the top 10 in the ’20s: DaBaby’s “Rockstar,” featuring Roddy Ricch, reigned for seven weeks beginning June 2020. Not that “Just Wanna Rock” is considered a rock song (having not appeared on any of Billboard’s rock-based charts; it holds at its Nos. 2 and 5 highs on Hot Rap Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, respectively). The last rock chart hit with “rock” in its title to hit the Hot 100’s top 10? Nickelback’s “Rockstar” smashed its way to No. 6 in 2007.

Again, for all chart news, you can follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram and all charts (dated Feb. 11), including the Hot 100 in its entirety, will refresh on Billboard.com tomorrow (Feb. 7).

I'm hoping that Anti Hero makes it to 25 weeks, but with the way radio is moving on I think we should only count on a few more. It will still likely be her most weeks in the top 10 after Shake it Off.

Yes, it did. But outside the U.S The E.N.D. had sold 5.7 million pure + at least 4.5 million in TEA by the end of 2010, whilst Fearless moved 2.7 million pure + at most 2.5 million in TEA.

More than IASF too

Regardless, Fearless will end up Taylor's third biggest era while the albums it is getting compared to are those artists peaks.

pretty sure the end sold way less than fearless in total units 

More than IASF too

Regardless, Fearless will end up Taylor's third biggest era while the albums it is getting compared to are those artists peaks. 

Different standards but wbk 

Not the point, but wbk.

CHART BEAT
Six Years After Its Release, The Weeknd’s ‘Die for You’ Tops Radio Songs Chart
The track, originally from 2016's Starboy and re-energized by TikTok, also hits No. 1 on Pop Airplay.

Originally released in late 2016 on The Weeknd’s album Starboy, his track “Die for You” rises to No. 1 at last on Billboard’s all-format Radio Songs chart, as well as the mainstream top 40-based Pop Airplay chart (both dated Feb. 11).

The song, on XO/Republic Records, gained by 5% to 85.2 million airplay audience impressions in the Jan. 27-Feb. 2 tracking week, according to Luminate.

As previously reported, the song rebounds to its No. 6 high on the all-genre, multimetric Billboard Hot 100.

The Weeknd adds his fifth Radio Songs No. 1, following “Earned It (Fifty Shades of Grey)” (for four weeks), “Can’t Feel My Face” (seven) and “The Hills” (five), all in 2015, and “Blinding Lights,” which dominated for a record 26 weeks in April-October 2020.

On Pop Airplay, The Weeknd likewise lands his fifth leader, with “Die for You” following “Earned It” (one week), “Can’t Feel My Face” (four weeks), “Blinding Lights” (six) and “Save Your Tears” (four, 2021).

“Die for You” completes the longest journey from a title’s release to its coronation on Radio Songs since the chart began in 1990. It tops the tally over six years after its arrival on Starboy, sparked by a surge of interaction on TikTok in recent months, which led Republic to officially promote it to radio.


Since Starboy, which became The Weeknd’s second of four No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart, where it ruled for five weeks beginning in December 2016, he has tallied four more top 10s: EP My Dear Melancholy, (No. 1 for one week in April 2018); After Hours (No. 1, four weeks, April 2020); best-of collection The Highlights (No. 2, February 2021) and Dawn FM (No. 2, January 2022).

The lattermost set generated the singles “Take My Breath,” which hit No. 8 on Pop Airplay and No. 10 on Radio Songs, and “Sacrifice,” which followed and reached Nos. 13 and 24 on the charts, respectively.

“I think Dawn FM is a great album, but I think the bigger success of ‘Die for You’ as opposed to ‘Take My Breath’ or ‘Sacrifice’ comes down to timing,” says Matt Mony, program director of Pop Airplay reporter WYOY Jackson, Miss. “‘Blinding Lights’ was such a massive record that I think it heavily overshadowed anything from Dawn FM. The Dawn FM singles weren’t weaker than ‘Die for You,’ they just came too early. The audience was not ready for more Weeknd yet, in my opinion. Had the album come out this year, the singles probably would have charted higher.”

Meanwhile, and perhaps also benefiting from breathing room since the release of Dawn FM, The Weeknd is also scaling radio charts with “Creepin’,” with Metro Boomin and 21 Savage. The collab, which reinvents Mario Winans’ No. 2-peaking 2004 Hot 100 hit “I Don’t Wanna Know,” featuring Enya and P. Diddy, pushes 5-3 on Radio Songs (77.2 million, up 15%) and 6-4 on Pop Airplay, while hitting No. 1 on Rhythmic Airplay (where it becomes The Weeknd’s 13th leader, 21 Savage’s fifth and Metro Boomin’s first). It concurrently climbs 4-3 on the Hot 100.

Mony also cites the recent spate of successful song revivals for the current snug fit for “Die for You” on radio. “The last year has been unique for pop music, given the resurgence of so many songs like ‘Die for You,’ Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill,’ and ‘Bloody Mary’,” he says, pointing to Lady Gaga’s revitalized 2011 track that ranks at its No. 19 Pop Airplay high, up 31% in plays.

Of “Die for You,” Mony muses, adding a song from 2016 was “a little odd to me at first, but certainly no stranger, no pun intended, than adding Kate Bush from 1985. How songs become hits is changing, and I think having older songs get played as currents proves anything can be a hit now. Current hit radio could be one viral TikTok away from playing ‘Believe’ by Cher.”

A bit random but I love this recent invasion of coutry music in the upper parts of the chart. We have now, 8 songs in the top 30? Even if half of them are Morgan Wallen. 4 years ago we would only have like 2 songs in the top 30, and now we constantly have 3 in the top 20. Deserved
