Taylor Swift rules the Hot 100 again this week, but not with the tune that controlled the tally for the past two frames. Instead, she replaces herself at No. 1 on the ranking of the most-consumed songs in the U.S. as "Is It Over Now?" takes over for Cruel Summer. With another leader in her discography, the singer makes history on the Hot 100 yet again, and she does so in a very strange manner.
"Is It Over Now?" marks Swifts third No. 1 hit on the Hot 100 in 2023. Thats impressive enough as it is, but one detail makes this latest champion even more eyebrow-raising. Swift has now charted three No. 1 songs on the Hot 100 this yearand theyre all from different albums.
The last musical act to send three songs to No. 1 on the Hot 100 from different albums in a calendar year was the Jackson 5. The band that launched Michael Jackson to superstardom managed the showing back in 1970 with some of their first hits.
