Taylor Swift‘s no stranger to seeing her name penciled in Billboard Hot 100 history books.
As if holding the record for most career top 10 debuts of any artist as well as being the only female artist to dethrone herself from the #1 spot weren’t enough, now she’s added a new accomplishment to her endless list of achievements. A week after her newest single, ‘Me!’ (featuring Brendon Urie), debuted at #100 on the tally based on airplay alone, the tune finds itself at #2 on this week’s refreshed charts.
And, while unable to unseat the reigning champ Lil Nas X, the jump gave Swift another distinct honor: the biggest position jump in Hot 100 history. Coming as her 23rd Hot 100 hit, ‘Me!’ also helped the singer tie Whitney Houston‘s all-time top 10 record.
More inside:
‘Me’ sold 193,000, opens at No. 2 on Streaming Songs with 50.7 million U.S. streams, and flies 27-13 on Radio Songs [thanks to] 54.1 million in audience, up from 36.9 million in its first three days).
