Taylor Swift Reaches All-Time Top10 For Top40 Hot 100 Hits
Quote:
The singer tallies her 41st top 40 Hot 100 hit, lifting her into a 10th-place tie among acts with the most such entries in the chart's history.
As "Highway Don't Care," with Tim McGraw, rolls 42-25 on the Billboard Hot 100, Taylor Swift adds a new chart feat: she notches her 41st top 40 Hot 100 hit, upping her into a 10th-place tie among acts with the most such entries in the chart's archives.
Here's an updated look at the acts with the most top 40 titles dating to the Hot 100's Aug. 4, 1958, launch:
80, Elvis Presley
61, Lil Wayne
57, Elton John
51, "Glee" Cast
50, the Beatles
49, Madonna
46, Stevie Wonder
44, James Brown
43, Aretha Franklin
41, Marvin Gaye
41, the Rolling Stones
41, Taylor Swift
Swift first reached the region with McGraw, at least his name. Her debut single "Tim McGraw" spent a week at No. 40 the week of Jan. 13, 2007.
This week's ascent marks Swift' latest laudable Hot 100 accomplishment. She holds the record for the most top 10 debuts, a mark she extended to 11 when "I Knew You Were Trouble." bowed at No. 3 the week of Oct. 27, 2012. The song opened as the third top 10-debuting preview track from her album "Red," following "Begin Again" (No. 7) and the title cut (No. 6).
(Swift, meanwhile ranks at No. 32 with "22," her 40th top 40 hit. Got all that?)
Swift additionally boasts the most simultaneous titles on the Hot 100 by a female artist, as she placed 11 on the Nov. 13, 2010, ranking the week that her album "Speak Now" debuted atop the Billboard 200.
Swift's favorite number might be 13, but clearly she's stacking several other lucky ones.
