US Album Bombs for 2023

Taylor Swift - 1989 (Taylor's Version): 235,234,907
Morgan Wallen - One Thing At A Time: 209,695,144
Drake - For All the Dogs: 200,347,235

Obviously Taylor is commercially-speaking above every other artist, but it really does seem that these three have BEEN the music industry for the past couple of years.  We've seen Taylor be huge, dip greatly, and come up even bigger than before.  We've seen Drake maintain consistency for almost a decade now (although maybe not as strong as he once was).  And we've seen Morgan break Country records and reach levels no country artist has in modern music.

This is a little off topic, but a part of me wonders how much that is the case versus how much of that is changing technology. I know that back in the 90s Garth was one of the biggest album seller, same with Taylor in the late 2000s. With streaming letting us better look at how much people actually listen to songs, I wonder if streaming had existed then country would've been more prominent on the charts. This isn't to disparage Morgan's success (he is clearly the biggest country artist in a long, long time), but to wonder if country has always been a "silent majority" genre. Well, not a majority but a bigger piece of the pie than we'd assume, you know?

Oh there's no doubt about it. Country has always been quite popoular, but yes, if we look at streaming since it took off, Country music took a great while to latch on. We even had Latin music (mainly Reggaeton at first) doing great streaming numbers in the US when Country's were abysmal. I do think though, that while Country has generally latched on, there's been a few artists in the genre who are clearly above the rest in terms of streaming: Morgan Wallen, Luke Combs, Kane Brown, Zach Bryan. So, while the genre has generally caught on -- it still generally lacks great numbers unless you're one of these guys ... and Morgan has just hit it out of the park.

no, two different projects. If that's the case, then Teenage Dream would have 6 #1s and 8 top 3 songs.

Billboard's too prideful to credit Teenage Dream as the album with 6 #1s, breaking the tie with MJ. When TD Complete Confection was released, it was combined with the orig TD chart run, technically the same project.

Such a joke because Billboard credits Confessions with 4 #1s even though My Boo is from a re-release. Teenage Dream has six #1s.

Country has been its one entity for decades, where it existed in huge numbers that weren’t counted into charts like the Hot 100. But the album chart showed where the genre lived in relation to ‘mainstream’ styles. Garth, Shania and the Chicks had multiple diamond albums. There’ve been massive superstars with huge selling albums but because country didn’t crossover and existed separately, it was easier to ignore. Now that streaming blends it all, the playing field is even now. And now it’s easy to ignore any genre the way country has long been unless you were into it.

Hope the chart is week next Halloween too so more Halloween songs can get new peaks. Without Taylor this is Halloween would be in the 20s. I’m curious what other Halloween songs would’ve made top 40

[bat1990]

If it weren't for the Vault Tracks, "Style (TV)" would've outpeaked the original by one spot

I have always wished Billboard would calculate an alternate Hot 100 with all airplay genres being included back to at least 1993 when their entire panel was captured by Nielsen BDS.

I bet Shania would have several more Top 40 hits. Heck - "Any Man of Mine" hit the top 30 on sales alone, it might've been top 15 or top 10 even with country airplay included.
And "You're Still The One" probably would've actually hit #1.

Billboard should definitely be consistent, but I don't get the argument for including tracks from re-releases as hits from the album. If we do that, in theory an artist could just keep releasing new songs and adding it to a decades old album and get like 20 hits. It's obviously easier to get a #1/hit with a new track that's added to an existing album because people haven't already heard it. It's certainly more impressive to get a hit with like a 5th single from the original version of the album because people have heard it (and pre-streaming, already owned the album and thus didn't need to buy the single). Janet getting a 7th top 10 with "You Want This" when millions of people already owned the song is certainly a tougher feat than Katy Perry, Usher, etc getting a #1 hit with what is literally a brand new song that happens to get tacked onto an existing project.

The difference is that All Too Well wasn’t a “from the vault” track.

EDIT: well, the 10 minute version WAS labeled “from the vault”, which is the version that got the most traction the week it went to #1. Maybe because both versions counted?

Taylor Swift Charts All 21 Songs From ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ on the Hot 100

11/6/2023

By Xander Zellner

She places eight songs in the top 10 simultaneously for a second time.

Taylor Swift returns with another massive week on Billboard’s charts (dated Nov. 11), as all 21 songs from the standard edition of her latest re-recorded album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), land on the latest Billboard Hot 100. 

The set debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, her 13th leader, with 1.653 million equivalent album units earned in its opening week (Oct. 27-Nov. 2), according to Luminate. That’s not only the largest one-week total of 2023, but the biggest week for any album since the opening week of Adele’s 25 in November 2015 (3.482 million). Of the new set’s 1.653 million units, 1.359 million are from album sales, marking Swift’s largest sales week for a title to date. 

Of Swift’s 22 total entries on the Hot 100 – all 21 from the new set, plus “Cruel Summer” (which falls to No. 6 after two weeks at No. 1) – 19 debut and two re-enter: “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” and “This Love (Taylor’s Version),” at Nos. 20 and 43, respectively, both new highs. Her re-recorded “Wildest Dreams” charted for one week at No. 37 in October 2021, after it appeared in the trailer for the 2021 DreamWorks Animation film Spirit Untamed, while the new version of “This Love” spent one frame, at No. 50, on the chart in May 2022, after its appearance in the trailer for the Amazon Prime Video series The Summer I Turned Pretty.

Here’s a look at all of Swift’s songs on the Nov. 11-dated Hot 100, all of which are debuts except where noted.

Taylor Swift on the Nov. 11-dated Hot 100:

No. 1, “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)”
No. 2, “Now That We Don’t Talk (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)”
No. 3, “Slut! (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)”
No. 5, “Say Don’t Go (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)”
No. 6, “Cruel Summer” (down after two weeks at No. 1)
No. 7, “Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 9, “Style (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 10, “Suburban Legends (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)”
No. 12, “Blank Space (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 14, “Welcome to New York (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 16, “Out of the Woods (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 19, “Wildest Dreams (Taylor’s Version)” (re-entry; new peak)
No. 20, “All You Had to Do Was Stay (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 28, “Shake It Off (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 29, “New Romantics (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 30, “Clean (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 31, “I Wish You Would (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 36, “I Know Places (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 39, “Wonderland (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 40, “How You Get the Girl (Taylor’s Version)”
No. 42, “This Love (Taylor’s Version)” (re-entry; new peak)
No. 43, “You Are in Love (Taylor’s Version)”

With 18 debuts, Swift brings her total to 230 Hot 100 hits in her career, the second-most after Drake’s 321. She also ups her counts to 31 top five hits (passing The Beatles, Mariah Carey and Madonna for the second-most after Drake’s 41); 49 top 10s (second after Drake’s 76); 85 top 20 titles (second after Drake’s 132); and 137 top 40 entries (second after Drake’s 199).

Meanwhile, this is just the fourth week in which an artist has tallied at least eight songs in the Hot 100’s top 10 simultaneously. Here’s a look at every such instance.

Most Simultaneous Entries in the Hot 100’s Top 10:

10, Taylor Swift, chart dated Nov. 5, 2022
9, Drake, Sept. 18, 2021
8, Drake, Nov. 19, 2022
8, Taylor Swift, Nov. 11, 2023

As “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” debuts at No. 1, Swift ups her total to 11 career Hot 100 No. 1s, breaking out of a tie with Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder to tie Whitney Houston for the eighth-most of all time (dating to the chart’s 1958 start). The Beatles lead all acts with 20 No. 1s, followed by Mariah Carey (19), Rihanna (14), Drake (13), Michael Jackson (13) and Madonna (12) and The Supremes (12).

After Prince's death (on a Thursday) "Purple Rain" topped digital sales that week with just a few hours. More impressively his "Very Best Of" album re-entered on top of the Billboard 200 with a similar few hours of sales for the week.

Granted they weren't new releases, so theoretically could have been getting sales all week, but obviously their number one entries were fueled by those hours on Thursday.

No. 43, “You Are in Love (Taylor’s Version)”

@ such a beautiful song being the lowest charting.

The Beatles’ ‘Now and Then’ Debuts at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales Chart
The Fab Four's newly released single launches on top from just its first day of sales.

By Gary Trust, Kevin Rutherford
11/6/2023
www.billboard.com/music/chart-beat/the-beatles-now-and-then-number-one-debut-digital-song-sales-chart-1235464802/
After less than one day of availability, The Beatles’ “Now and Then” bounds in at No. 1 on Billboard’s Digital Song Sales chart dated Nov. 11.

In the Oct. 27-Nov. 2 tracking week, “Now and Then” – with all of its sales in that span logged Nov. 2, after it premiered at 10 a.m. ET – sold 16,000 downloads in the U.S., according to Luminate.

The song also starts at No. 1 on Rock Digital Song Sales, and is The Beatles’ first leader on each retail ranking. (The band’s digital catalog was first made available in the iTunes Store in November 2010.)

As previously reported, “Now and Then” concurrently opens at No. 37 on Rock & Alternative Airplay with 1.1 million audience impressions on reporting rock radio stations in its first day. Among all formats, the song drew 2.6 million in audience Nov. 2.

Elsewhere, “Now and Then” starts at Nos. 7 and 11 on the multi-metric Hot Rock Songs and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs charts, respectively, with its sales and airplay also augmented by 2.3 million official U.S. streams Nov. 2.

The song starts at No. 5 on the Billboard Hot 100’s Bubbling Under chart, which ranks the top 25 titles that have not yet hit the Hot 100.

Plus, the track opens at No. 152 on the Nov. 11-dated Billboard Global 200, with 6.4 million streams and 30,000 sold worldwide, again, all tallied Nov. 2.

“Now and Then” is billed as the final Beatles song, first recorded as a demo in 1977 by John Lennon and initially meant for the band’s The Beatles’ three-edition Anthology series in the mid-‘90s before being shelved by the surviving members of the band. It was completed and released this year after new technology helped extract Lennon’s vocals from the original demo while also using guitar recordings from George Harrison from the initial attempt to finish the song.

Notably, The Beatles released two new Anthology singles, each of which opened at No. 5 on the then-active Hot Singles Sales chart, which tracked physical singles before downloads became songs’ main sales currency in the 2000s. “Free as a Bird” began with 59,000 copies sold in its first week (Dec. 30, 1995) and “Real Love,” with 67,000 (March 23, 1996).

The first full week of activity, including physical copies, for “Now and Then” – whose official video premiered Nov. 3 at 9 a.m. ET – will be reflected on Billboard’s Nov. 18-dated charts, including the streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Hot 100 (encompassing activity tracked Nov. 3-9).

All Billboard charts dated Nov. 11 will update on Billboard.com on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

Taylor Swift’s ‘Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version)’ Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100
The song is her 11th leader, and dethrones her own "Cruel Summer."


By Gary Trust

11/6/2023

Taylor Swift’s “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” launches at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs chart. The track is from Swift’s newest rerecorded album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which blasts in atop the Billboard 200, becoming her 13th No. 1 set, extending her mark for the most among women.


On the Hot 100, Swift scores her 11th No. 1 – and dethrones her 10th, “Cruel Summer,” after two weeks on top. She replaces herself at the summit for a second time and is the only woman ever to have achieved the feat.

Swift claims eight songs in the Hot 100’s top 10, with her two latest leaders joined by six additional debuts from 1989 (Taylor’s Version). She ups her career count to 49 top 10s, the most among women and second among all acts to Drake’s 69.

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay, and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated Nov. 11, 2023) will be updated on Billboard.com on Tuesday (Nov. 7). For all chart news, you can follow billboard and billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.


Here’s a look at the coronation of “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” the 1,159th single to top the Hot 100 over the chart’s 65-year history, and the 73rd to debut at No. 1 (and Swift’s sixth to enter at the top spot) – as well as a rundown of all of Swift’s new top 10s on the list.

Streams, airplay & sales: Released Oct. 27 on 1989 (Taylor’s Version), “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” drew 32 million streams and 4.7 million radio airplay audience impressions and sold 5,000 downloads in the tracking week ending Nov. 2, according to Luminate.

The single also debuts at No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, becoming Swift’s eighth leader, and No. 7 on Digital Song Sales. It also begins at No. 38 on the Pop Airplay chart and is being actively promoted as a single to radio.

Swift’s 11th Hot 100 No. 1: With her 11th Hot 100 No. 1, Swift ties Whitney Houston for the eighth-most since the chart began on Aug. 4, 1958.

Most Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s:

20, The Beatles
19, Mariah Carey
14, Rihanna
13, Drake
13, Michael Jackson
12, Madonna
12, The Supremes
11, Whitney Houston
11, Taylor Swift
10, Janet Jackson
10, Stevie Wonder
Here’s a recap of Swift’s 11 Hot 100 No. 1s, which now include two rerecorded “(Taylor’s Version)” tracks, as her new leader joins “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version),” from 2021:

“Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” one week at No. 1 to-date, Nov. 11, 2023
“Cruel Summer,” two weeks, beginning Oct. 28, 2023
“Anti-Hero,” eight weeks, beginning Nov. 5, 2022
“All Too Well (Taylor’s Version),” one week, Nov. 27, 2021
“Willow,” one week, Dec. 26, 2020
“Cardigan,” one week, Aug. 8, 2020
“Look What You Made Me Do,” three weeks, beginning Sept. 16, 2017
“Bad Blood,” feat. Kendrick Lamar, one week, June 6, 2015
“Blank Space,” seven weeks, beginning Nov. 29, 2014
“Shake It Off,” four weeks, beginning Sept. 6, 2014
“We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” three weeks, beginning Sept. 1, 2012

3 No. 1s, 3 Albums in ‘23: Swift becomes the first artist to spend time atop the Hot 100 with three songs in 2023. Before “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” she led with “Cruel Summer,” revived from her 2019 album Lover, and “Anti-Hero” (which first led in 2022), from last year’s Midnights.

Swift is the first woman to top the Hot 100 with three songs from three distinct albums by the same act in a single year. Among all acts, she’s the first since the Jackson 5 in 1970; the group broke through that year with the No. 1s “I Want You Back” from Diana Ross Presents the Jackson 5; “ABC” and “The Love You Save”/”I Found That Girl” from ABC; and “I’ll Be There” from their Third Album LP. (The Beatles lead the category with six No. 1s from five albums in 1964.)

Swift Takes ‘Over’ for Swift: As “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” bumps “Cruel Summer” from No. 1 on the Hot 100, Swift replaces herself at the summit for a second time, and is the only woman to have achieved the feat at all. She first made for a one-person relay team when “Blank Space” supplanted “Shake It Off” atop the Nov. 29, 2014-dated chart.


Swift’s Seven New Top 10s: “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” paces seven songs from 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in the Hot 100’s top 10. Here’s a recap of their ranks, and streaming totals (with streams marking each title’s top metric in the tracking week).

No. 1: “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” 32 million streams
No. 2: “Now That We Don’t Talk (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” 28.2 million
No. 3: “Slut! (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” 27 million
No. 5: “Say Don’t Go (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” 25.8 million
No. 7: “Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version),” 21.64 million
No. 9: “Style (Taylor’s Version),” 21.58 million
No. 10: “Suburban Legends (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” 20.2 million
Swift swells her career total to 49 Hot 100 top 10s, the most among women and second among all acts only to Drake’s 69.

Most Billboard Hot 100 Top 10s:

76, Drake
49, Taylor Swift
38, Madonna
34, The Beatles
32, Rihanna
30, Michael Jackson
29, Elton John
28, Mariah Carey
28, Stevie Wonder
27, Janet Jackson
26, Justin Bieber
25, Lil Wayne
25, Elvis Presley (whose career start predated the Hot 100’s inception)

New ‘Blood,’ Not Out of ‘Style’: Swift returns two compositions to the Hot 100’s top 10, as “Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version)” debuts at No. 7 and “Style (Taylor’s Version)” starts at No. 9. The original version of the former, as noted above, led for a week and the initial version of the latter hit No. 6, both in 2015.

Swift sends revamped versions of her songs to the Hot 100’s top 10 for the first time. She previously came closest to the feat when “Love Story (Taylor’s Version)” hit No. 11 in 2021, after the original reached No. 4 in 2009. She’s the first artist to take a song to the top 10 via different versions in just over 20 years: In August 2003, Uncle Kracker’s update of “Drift Away,” featuring Dobie Gray, hit No. 9, after Gray’s original reached No. 5 in 1973.

(Notably, the original “Bad Blood” was remixed adding featured artist Kendrick Lamar in 2015. Two “[Taylor’s Version]” mixes of the song are on 1989 [Taylor’s Version]; with the mix without Lamar drawing more consumption in the tracking week than the one with him, he is not billed on the Hot 100 on “Bad Blood [Taylor’s Version].”)

Easy as 1-2-3: Swift infuses the Hot 100’s top three for a second time, following the Nov. 5, 2022, chart, when her album Midnights premiered atop the Billboard 200. The Beatles (five weeks, 1964), Drake (three, 2021-23) and Swift are the only acts with multiple such weeks, with Ariana Grande having earned the honor once, in 2019.

Plus, as Swift scores eight songs in the Hot 100’s top 10, she achieves her second week with at least that many simultaneous top 10s, following the frame in which 10 tracks from Midnights made for a historic sweep, led by “Anti-Hero” at No. 1. The only other such weeks belong to Drake, who logged nine and eight top 10s on the charts dated Sept. 18, 2021, and Nov. 19, 2022, respectively, each likewise sparked by his chart arrivals of new albums.

All-Female Hot 100 Top 10: In addition to Swift’s eight songs in the Hot 100’s top 10, Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” ranks at No. 4 and SZA’s “Snooze” drifts off to No. 8. The chart hosts just the second all-woman top 10 in its history, following, again, the Nov. 5, 2022, chart, when Swift ranked at Nos. 1-10 with songs from Midnights (with Lana Del Rey featured on the No. 4 track that week, “Snow on the Beach”).


Swift, Warren & Martin’s Top 10s as Writers: As Swift expands her haul to 49 career Hot 100 top 10s as a recording artist, she now boasts 51 top 10s as a songwriter. She has written all 49 top 10s that she’s recorded and also sports writing credit on Olivia Rodrigo’s “Deja Vu,” which hit No. 3 in 2021 (as Swift is among those credited as a writer on the song, given its perceived similarities to “Cruel Summer”), and Rihanna’s “This Is What You Came For” (for which Swift used the pseudonym Nils Sjöberg; No. 3, 2016).

Meanwhile, two other writers with extensive Hot 100 histories pad their counts of top 10s. Diane Warren co-wrote “Say Don’t Go (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” and Max Martin co-penned both “Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version)” and “Style (Taylor’s Version).” Warren has now written 33 top 10s – which have charted over a span of 40 years and six months – while Martin has authored 78 top 10s, spanning 26 years and four months.

Beyond Swift’s seven new Hot 100 top 10s, “Cruel Summer,” down to No. 6 from No. 1, adds a third week atop the Radio Songs chart, with 75.4 million audience impressions (down 6%).

Elsewhere in the Hot 100’s top 10, as noted above, Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” drops 2-4 and SZA’s “Snooze” falls 3-8. The former, which led for three nonconsecutive beginning in September, notches a ninth and 10th week, respectively, atop the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts, which use the same methodology as the Hot 100. The latter, which hit No. 2 on the Hot 100, rules the multimetric Hot R&B Songs chart for a 14th week.

Really an amazing feat for her, I knew 1989 TV had the potential to be this big!!

One additional feat the article doesn't mention is that Is It Over Now? is now Taylor's sixth #1 debut, which I believe breaks her out of a 3 way tie with Ariana Grande and BTS for the second most #1 debuts ever, and the most for a female (Drake has the most #1 debuts, with 9).

I’m wondering why ATW wasn’t worded like that when it was published by Billboard. It was just All Too Well (Taylor’s Version) when it hit #1.

The difference is that All Too Well wasn’t a “from the vault” track.

EDIT: well, the 10 minute version WAS labeled “from the vault”, which is the version that got the most traction the week it went to #1. Maybe because both versions counted?

Yes both versions were counted as 1 entry for ATW.

Taylor Swift Makes History With Top 6 Songs, All From ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version),’ on Billboard Global 200 Chart

11/6/2023

By Gary Trust

Taylor Swift’s “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” soars in at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 songs chart (dated Nov. 11). Swift claims the top six songs on the survey – a first in the chart’s three-year-plus history. She one-ups the prior mark, which she also held, as she swept the top five on the Global 200 dated Nov. 5, 2022, when her album Midnights made its chart start.

The top six songs on the latest Global 200 are from Swift’s newest rerecorded album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which bounds in atop the Billboard 200 chart, becoming her 13th No. 1 set, extending her mark for the most among women.

Swift also becomes the first artist to score new Global 200 No. 1s in consecutive weeks, as her new leader follows the coronation of her “Cruel Summer” a week earlier.

The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.

Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.

Six-cess: Swift Scores Record on Global 200

“Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” premieres at No. 1 on the Global 200 with 63.7 million streams and 7,000 sold worldwide in its first week (Oct. 27-Nov. 2). Swift earns her fourth No. 1 on the chart, following “Cruel Summer” a week ago and two songs that, like her latest, debuted on top: “Anti-Hero” led for four weeks beginning in November 2022 and “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” reigned for a week in November 2021.

Swift breaks out of a tie with Olivia Rodrigo for the most Global 200 No. 1s among women. Overall, she ties Bad Bunny for the most among all soloists; among all acts, their four each trail only BTS’ seven. 

As noted above, “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” leads six songs from 1989 (Taylor’s Version) in the Global 200’s top six spots. Here’s a recap of their ranks, and worldwide streaming totals in the tracking week:

No. 1: “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” 63.7 million streams worldwide
No. 2: “Now That We Don’t Talk (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” 55.9 million
No. 3: “Slut! (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” 55 million
No. 4: “Say Don’t Go (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” 53.4 million
No. 5: “Style (Taylor’s Version),” 52 million
No. 6: “Bad Blood (Taylor’s Version),” 46.3 million

Swift additionally starts at No. 9 on the Global 200 with “Blank Space (Taylor’s Version),” also from 1989 (Taylor’s Version), led by 45.2 million streams.

With seven new top 10 Global 200 hits, Swift ups her count to 24 top 10s since the chart began. She passes Bad Bunny (19) and ranks behind only Drake (35) for the most.

(Among the onslaught of Swift’s new top 10s, “Cruel Summer” falls to No. 11 on the Global 200.)

Quintero Continues Atop Global Excl. U.S.

Iñigo Quintero’s “Si No Estás” spends a second week at No. 1 on the Global Excl. U.S. chart, with 51.6 million streams (down 5%) and 1,000 sold (down 9%) outside the U.S. Oct. 27-Nov. 2. The piano-pop song is the first entry on the ranking for the Spanish singer-songwriter.

Jung Kook’s “Seven” featuring Latto keeps at No. 2 following nine weeks at No. 1 on Global Excl. U.S. beginning in July; Tate McRae’s “Greedy” is steady at its No. 3 high; and Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red” rebounds 5-4, following two weeks on top starting in September.

Plus, Swift debuts three songs in the Global Excl. U.S. top 10, all from 1989 (Taylor’s Version): “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” at No. 5 (32.1 million streams outside the U.S.); “Style (Taylor’s Version),” at No. 7 (30.7 million); and “Now That We Don’t Talk (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” at No. 10 (27.9 million). 

Swift now boasts 14 Global Excl. U.S. top 10s, moving her closer to Bad Bunny’s record 18 since the chart began.

The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated Nov. 11, 2023) will update on Billboard.com Tuesday (Nov. 7). For both charts, the top 100 titles are available to all readers on Billboard.com, while the complete 200-title rankings are visible on Billboard Pro, Billboard’s subscription-based service.

I do wonder, if the Hot 100 was a true “songs” chart where all versions of a song by a single artist were combined, how the 1989 singles would’ve performed this week.

While I fully understand the business reasons why the TV songs are listed separately, it has always struck me as a decision that undermines the idea of listing the top songs. Particularly since remixes and live versions of songs are usually lumped in with the originals even though they sound far more different than these re-recordings do.
