Also, dating to her arrival on Sept. 23, 2006, with "Tim McGraw," Swift swipes her 60th Hot 100 hit, a threshold that only 13 other acts (to reference Swift's favorite number …) have reached in the chart's 56-year history. Only one female act has made more Hot 100 visits: Aretha Franklin, with 73. (The cast of Fox's Glee leads all acts with 207 Hot 100 entries.)
Of all the theories about why the record industry is collapsing – piracy, iTunes, bumbling digital rights management – has anyone considered the real reason is that Taylor Swift took over?
Over on the Digital Songs chart, Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" blasts in at No. 1, selling 544,000 downloads in its first week — the biggest sales week of 2014 and the fourth-largest debut week ever.
The only starts that were larger were logged by Flo Rida's "Right Round" (636,000 in 2009), Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" (623,000 in 2012) and Katy Perry's "Roar" (557,000 in 2013).
