Taylor Swift Achieves 50th “Billboard” Hot 100 Song

posted in: Music News • Pop

After only six years in the spotlight, Taylor Swift has yet another milestone under her belt, marked by her latest release, I Knew You Were Trouble. Joining superstars Madonna, Aretha Franklin, Dionne Warwick, and Connie Francis, Swift has achieved her 50th charting song on the Billboard Hot 100.

Although this is due in large part to the fact that many of her releases were preview tracks from her albums rather than official singles, it still marks an incredible triumph for Swift, one which took others over a decade to complete.

Of the four other women to boast this same triumph, Aretha Franklin was the quickest to reach 50 entries into the chart, taking just over 14.5 years.
