Redstreak 6,653 Posted November 19, 2014 Share Posted November 19, 2014 Taylor Swift makes history on the Billboard Hot 100, where her single "Blank Space" blasts from No. 13 to No. 1. As the song dethrones her prior smash, "Shake It Off," after four weeks atop the chart, Swift becomes the first woman in the Hot 100's 56-year history to succeed herself at the top spot. "Space," released on Big Machine Records and promoted to radio by Republic Records, takes over at No. 1 following the Nov. 10 release of its official video. Meanwhile, Sam Smith and Nick Jonas each surge into the Hot 100's top 10 and Maroon 5 takes over atop the Radio Songs chart with "Animals." It's Wednesday, the day that the sales/airplay/streaming-based Hot 100 is tallied, and we've got some blank spaces (baby) … let's see whose names get written in the chart's top 10 and more. With her coronation, Swift tallies her third Hot 100 No. 1, following "Shake" (which falls to No. 3) and 2012's three-week leader "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." Swift is, amazingly, the first woman in the Hot 100's history to succeed herself at No. 1. She's just the 10th act to do so overall, following the Beatles, who scored three toppers in a row ("I Want to Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You" and "Can't Buy Me Love") in 1964; Boyz II Men (1994); Puff Daddy (as he was then billed) (1997); Ja Rule (2002); Nelly (2002); OutKast (2004); Usher (2004); T.I. (2008); and the Black Eyed Peas (2009). (Puff Daddy and Ja Rule each doubled up thanks to a lead and featured role.) Thanks to "Shake" and "Space," Swift is the only artist with two Hot 100 No. 1s this year. Plus, parent album 1989 earns the increasingly rare honor of seeing its first two singles top the Hot 100. The album is the first to send its first two singles (officially promoted to radio) to the top since Macklemore & Ryan Lewis' The Heist ("Thrift Shop," "Can't Hold Us") last year. It's the first by a woman since Adele's 21 ("Rolling in the Deep," "Someone Like You") in 2011-12. And, with its 13-1 vault, "Space" logs the biggest jump to the apex since Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" swung 22-1 on Sept. 28, 2013, also after the release of its official (and oh-so-buzzed-about) video. ("Shake" became just the 22nd single in Hot 100 history to debut at No. 1, while "We Are Never …" flew 72-1 following its first full week of retail availability after it initially charted from early airplay.) http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6320061/taylor-swift-blank-space-hot-100 Congrats Tay!
