Taylor Swift is no stranger to breaking records and she just set another major milestone with her song “Anti-Hero”. After eight weeks spent atop the Billboard Hot 100, “Anti-Hero” became Swift’s longest-running No. 1 song on the chart.
“Anti-Hero” was officially released on October 21, as the leading single from Swift’s tenth studio album Midnights. It set several records in its wake, scoring the biggest opening-day streams for a song in Spotify history, in addition to easily debuting atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Swift also became the only soloist in the chart’s history to debut five songs at No. 1, and “Anti-Hero” continued breaking new grounds after its debut week. It returned to No. 1 time and time again, eventually overthrowing “Blank Space” as Swift’s longest-running No. 1 with eight weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
“Anti-Hero” tallied 88.5 million radio airplay audience impressions and 16.8 million streams during its most recent week on the chart. It’s followed by SZA’s “Kill Bill” at No. 2, which was boosted by the release of the official music video last week. Sam Smith and Kim Petras’ “Unholy” dropped to No. 3 this week, while David Guetta and Bebe Rexha’s “I’m Good (Blue)” remains at No. 4.
