With The Tortured Poets Department, she breaks even more sales records. But is a song like “Fortnight” a lasting smash?
Quick pop quiz: Prior to this week, what was Taylor Swift’s last new No. 1 hit on Billboard’s Hot 100?
I know, I know … it’s a little hard to keep up with her relentless output. If you are among the Americans only passively aware of Swift’s oeuvre, you might think her last No. 1 was the moody one where she says. But “Anti-Hero” hit No. 1 nearly 18 months ago. What about that percolating bop about the hottest days of the year? Improbably, “, one of its bonus tracks “from the vault” benefited from the rising tide. A burbling meditation on lost love, “Over” spent just one week on top.
If I were to answer Neil Tennant, I’d say Taylor Swift’s “famous songs” are “Blank Space,” “Anti-Hero,” and, with an asterisk, “All Too Well.” Decades from now, when Swift’s vast catalog is boiled down to a couple of hits the way, these are the songs I think will survive the purge. On the other hand … maybe Swift isn’t trying for “Billie Jean.
