Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, has taken the world by storm, debuting at No. 1 on music charts worldwide. The lead single from the album, “Fortnight,” has also been a massive hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 chart. This marks Swift’s fifth No. 1 song on the Global 200, making her the solo artist with the most chart-toppers in the ranking’s history.
Prior to the release of “Fortnight,” Taylor Swift was tied with Bad Bunny and Ariana Grande for the most No. 1 songs on the Billboard Global 200 among solo artists, with four each. With the success of “Fortnight,” Swift has now surpassed them and is only one behind the current record-holder, BTS, who have achieved seven chart-topping hits on the Global 200. BTS has been on a hiatus due to mandatory military enlistment, giving Swift the opportunity to potentially catch up to them in the number of No. 1 singles.
Despite BTS’s temporary absence from the music scene, Taylor Swift’s prolific output of new music, including original material and re-recorded projects, could lead to her securing more No. 1 hits on the Billboard Global 200 in the near future. With two albums left to re-record, Swift has the potential to produce more chart-topping singles and possibly surpass BTS’s record of seven No. 1 songs on the Global 200. The singer has not announced her next move, but fans can expect more music from her in the coming months.
Swift’s recent success on the music charts highlights her enduring popularity and talent as a songwriter and performer. As she continues to break records and achieve new milestones in her career, Swift remains a dominant force in the music industry. With the release of The Tortured Poets Department and the success of “Fortnight,” Swift has once again proven her ability to connect with audiences worldwide and produce hit songs that resonate with fans of all ages.
As fans eagerly await Taylor Swift’s next musical project, her achievements on the Billboard Global 200 underscore her status as one of the most successful artists of her generation. With her impressive track record of No. 1 hits on the global chart, Swift has solidified her status as a music industry powerhouse and a force to be reckoned with in the world of pop music. With the potential for more chart-topping singles in the future, Swift’s reign at the top of the music world is far from over.
