 Generally, yes. By that point, a listener is already ~15 minutes into an album, and a catchy song makes sure they keep listening. 
 
I've also noticed that Taylor tends to make her tracklists uptempo-uptempo-slow-uptempo-slow-etc. 
 And the first three songs are always singles.

I think John was also in the top ten. I'm quite sure she had like 6-7 songs in the top ten.

 We should play a game where we post a lyric and the next person picks a lyric that starts with the last word of the lyric before.  
 
For instance: ''I go back to December all the time'' 
''Time turns flames to ember you'll have new Septembers'' 
''September saw a month of tears''

 You have a way of coming easily to me. And when you take you take the very best of me.
