Swift’s Taylor-Made Recordings Just Reached A Special Milestone

 


Taylor Swift started releasing re-recorded editions of her first six albums–renamed Taylor’s Version–nearly three years ago. Since then, all four projects she’s delivered have become massive global commercial successes. They’ve all churned out big hits and sold incredibly well. This week, Swift hits a special milestone for the first time with one of her re-recordings. according to Forbes.

“Is It Over Now? (Taylor's Version) [From The Vault]” is the new No. 1 song on two of Billboard’s charts. The single, taken from her 1989 (Taylor’s Version) album, jumps to the top spot on both the Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay rankings.

That track now stands as the first No. 1 from any of Swift’s re-recordings on one of Billboard’s radio charts. Impressively, before this week, she had never reached the highest rung on any of the radio rankings with a tune from a re-recorded album, but suddenly, she’s scored two such wins at the same time.

“Is It Over Now?” lifts from No. 3 to No. 1 on both of the aforementioned rankings, which are two of the three of Billboard’s pop radio charts. At the same time she leads both the Pop Airplay and Adult Pop Airplay lists, Swift also controls the third pop radio tally, the Adult Contemporary chart. On that roster, her single “Cruel Summer” is still in charge.

As she earns another leader, Swift makes history on both tallies. On the Pop Airplay chart, “Is It Over Now?” helps the singer further distance herself from all other acts with the most No. 1s ever. It’s her thirteenth champion, while the runners-up, Rihanna, Maroon 5, and Katy Perry, all claim 11.

On the Adult Pop Airplay chart, Swift doesn’t yet own the record for the most No. 1s ever, but she’s close. “Is It Over Now?” is her twelfth ruler. She’s currently behind only Maroon 5, as the pop band has collected 15 winners.

“Is It Over Now?” has been slowly climbing on the radio charts for several months, since it was first released in October of 2023. The track debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and was a huge sales success the moment it hit the Billboard rankings, but it usually takes much longer for singles to climb on the radio lists
