Taylor Swift dominates the Hot 100 this week in a manner that’s only been seen once or twice before in history. The singer-songwriter occupies 31 spaces on the ranking of the most-consumed songs in the U.S., as every track from her new album The Tortured Poets Department debuts on the tally.
Amid Swift’s deluge of new wins, almost every other song on the Hot 100 falls from where they ranked last week–and plenty disappear because of her surge. Only two songs not connected to the “Fortnight” superstar performed–or overperformed–well enough last tracking period to fight back against Swift and climb on the chart.
Nicki Minaj gains the most ground between the two tracks that manage to rise on the Hot 100 this week. Her single “FTCU” jumps from No. 80 to No. 53. That’s still far from its No. 15 peak, but that’s likely only due to Swift’s sweep.
“FTCU” gains thanks to an especially exciting remix. Minaj recently re-released the tune with new vocals from both Chris Brown and Sexxy Redd. That cut became a quick bestseller, and all those purchases–paired with ongoing streams and increased radio support–helped make it a smash once more.
The only other single that soars, in spite of Swift, is “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” by Shaboozey. The newcomer was introduced to millions as a featured artist on Beyoncé’s new country album Cowboy Carter. A week after that project dropped, he shared this track, which quickly became a huge hit.
Next week, when Swift’s many hits begin to fall, both Minaj and Shaboozey could continue their forward advance. If not next frame, it’s possible that both tracks will bolt toward the top of the tally in the coming month as the Hot 100 becomes less and less competitive as interest in The Tortured Poets Department and its cuts wanes, if even slightly.
