Earlier this year, Taylor Swift scored a #1 Billboard Hot 100 hit with “cardigan,” the focus single from her chart-topping surprise album “folklore.”<\/p>\n
This week, she scores another #1 – again with a surprise album’s focus track.<\/p>\n
Indeed, the superstar’s “willow” starts atop this week’s edition of the all-genre song chart. “Willow” is the focus single from Swift’s newly released, chart-topping album “evermore.”<\/p>\n
In conjunction with its #1 Hot 100 debut, “willow” takes #1 on the Digital Song Sales chart and #4 on the Streaming Songs chart. It does not yet appear on the Radio Songs listing but did amass a substantial amount of opening week airplay.<\/p>\n
Along with the original version, the chart positions account for the numerous remix iterations of the song.<\/p>\n
“willow” is Swift’s seventh #1 overall.<\/p>\n
With “willow” and “evermore” respectively topping the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 (mirroring the feat of “cardigan” and “folklore”), Swift becomes the first artist to debut atop both listings twice . BTS is the only other act to even do it once (“Life Goes On” and “BE”).<\/p>\n
Mariah Carey’s “All I Want For Christmas Is You,” last week’s leader, falls to #2 this week. Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around The Christmas Tree” holds at #3, Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” ascends one spot to #4, and 24kGoldn’s “Mood (featuring iann dior)” slides three spots to #5.<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in the Top 10:
\n— Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas” returns to the region, courtesy of an eight-place gain to #6.
\n— BTS’ “Dynamite” roars back into the region with a fifteen-place gain to #9. The gain coincides with the song’s holiday remix release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Taylor Swift scores her seventh #1.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":145716,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1047],"tags":[145,14324],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
