Taylor Swift is back dominating the charts, despite a recent dip in her Billboard 200 streak. Having reclaimed the top spot on Hits Top 50, she is now focused on breaking more records. Recent reports have highlighted the ups and downs in Swift’s chart performance, but the latest update shows she remains determined, surpassing peers like Ariana Grande, Billie Eilish, and Rihanna to become the top artist of the year. 

This week marks a period of redemption for Swift, proving she does not need any specific eras to secure her place in music history.

Taylor Swift and Spotify have always shared a unique bond, whether through promotional partnerships for projects like ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ or spotlighting the pop star with exclusive features. Despite a recent dip on the Billboard 200, Spotify has stepped in as a champion, showcasing Swift as the top-streamed female artist of 2024 with 19.06 billion streams from her 32 songs released this year.

Ariana Grande follows in second place, significantly behind with 6.082 billion streams from 17 songs. Billie Eilish, Swift’s latest rival, ranks third with 6.065 billion streams from 12 songs, while Rihanna holds fourth with 5.007 billion streams from 6 songs. The gap between Swift and the second-highest artist is over 12 billion streams which underscores the monumental impact she has brought with her 11th studio album this year.

If Spotify’s recognition was not enough to vouch for Swift’s legendary status, a recent list has further solidified her position at the top.

Taylor Swift recently came close to achieving a milestone when Eminem’s ‘The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)’ knocked her album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ off the Billboard 200. However, within a week of this unexpected setback, Swift bounced back by reclaiming the top spot on Hits Top 50, according to Hits Double Daily’s latest report. The pop star regained her throne after selling 72,751 units.

Following Swift’s return to her 13 nonconsecutive weeks at the top of Hits Top 50, Morgan Wallen’s ‘One Thing at a Time’ holds the second spot with 64,578 units sold. Zach Bryan’s ‘The Greatest American Bar Scene’ is third with 63,035 units. Chapel Roan’s ‘The Rise and the Fall of the Midwest Princess’ and Billie Eilish’s ‘Hit Me Hard and Soft’ sold 54,137 and 52,097 units, respectively. With the Spotify chart secured, the only remaining goal is to reconquer the Billboard charts.
