Hot 100: Taylor Swift Triumphs, DENIES SZA #1 Spot

Taylor Swift towers above the competition on this week’s iteration of the Billboard Hot 100. But she had to shake off tough competition from R&B darling SZA.

Full story below…

After a hard-fought battle, Swift’s ‘Anti-Hero’ pipped SZA’s ‘Kill Bill’ (which settles for #2) to secure another week at #1 on the coveted count.

In doing so, the superstar logs her eighth total week on top – thus making ‘Anti-Hero’ her longest #1 to date, besting the seven-week reign of ‘Blank Space’ across 2014-2015.

Swift’s ‘Midnights’ jam managed the feat with:

88.5 million radio airplay audience impressions
16.8 million streams
7,000 digital downloads

It faced stiff competition from SZA’s ‘Bill,’ which – along with its chart-topping parent album ‘S.O.S’ – has dominated the streaming scene.

With #1 in reaching distance, the TDE songbird hatched a four-track pack comprised of various versions of the track. Alas, snatching the #1 spot was not to be. At least, not this week.
