Taylor "out shakes" Mariah; historic pop crossover artist
Quote:
With seven No. 1s on Hot Country Songs and now two on the Hot 100, what other artists, along with Parton, have tallied multiple No. 1s on each chart? Swift joins an incredibly select group of now just seven acts with more than one No. 1 on both Hot Country Songs and the Hot 100.
The repeat pop/country crossover kings and queens (ranked by combined Hot Country Songs and Hot 100 No. 1s):
Dolly Parton (26: 24, Hot Country Songs; two, Hot 100)
Kenny Rogers (20: 18, Hot Country Songs; two, Hot 100)
Elvis Presley (10: three, Hot Country Songs; seven, Hot 100)
Taylor Swift (nine: seven, Hot Country Songs; two, Hot 100)
Glen Campbell (seven: five, Hot Country Songs; two, Hot 100)
John Denver (seven: four, Hot Country Songs; three, Hot 100)
B.J. Thomas (five: three, Hot Country Songs; two, Hot 100)

With Taylor Swift topping the Billboard Hot 100 with "Shake It Off," she's outperformed the No. 2 peak of Mariah Carey's 2005 hit of the same name.
So, it's time to update the list of song titles that have peaked at Nos. 1 and 2 by different artists.
Notably, and in a sign of how many big hits she's had, Mariah's name comes up multiple times:
"Shake It Off"
No. 1, Taylor Swift, 2014
No. 2, Mariah Carey, 2005
