Taylor Swift dominates Hot 100 with 31 tracks from The Tortured Poets Department, while Nicki Minaj’s « FTCU » rises to No. 53 amid the Swift surge.
Taylor Swift dominates the Hot 100 this week in a manner that’s only been seen once or twice before in history. The singer-songwriter occupies 31 spaces on the ranking of the most-consumed songs in the U.S., as every track from her new album The Tortured Poets Department debuts on the tally.
Amid Swift’s deluge of new wins, almost every other song on the Hot 100 falls from where they ranked last week–and plenty disappear because of her surge. Only two songs not connected to the “Fortnight” superstar performed–or overperformed–well enough last tracking period to fight back against Swift and climb on the chart.
