Taylor Swift Continues to Make History with 'Cruel Summer' on Adult Pop Airplay Chart
Taylor Swift is no stranger to breaking records, and her latest single, 'Cruel Summer,' is no exception. While gearing up to promote her upcoming album, The Tortured Poets Department, Swift's hit song continues to dominate the Adult Pop Airplay chart, setting a new benchmark in the process.
'Cruel Summer' has now spent an impressive 23 weeks at the top of the Adult Pop Airplay chart, solidifying its position as one of the longest-running leaders in the chart's history. This achievement puts Swift's single on par with The Calling's 'Wherever You Will Go,' which held the top spot for the same duration between 2001 and 2002.
Last week, 'Cruel Summer' claimed the title of the third-longest-running number one on the Adult Pop Airplay chart. However, the song's popularity shows no signs of waning as it continues to hold its ground. If it maintains its stronghold for another week, Swift will surpass The Calling to become the second-longest-running chart-topper on the tally.
Swift's ultimate goal is to match the all-time record set by Santana and Rob Thomas's 'Smooth,' which spent an incredible 25 weeks at number one. With the current trajectory of 'Cruel Summer' and its widespread airplay across the country, there is a strong possibility that Swift could reach and even surpass this milestone.
While it remains to be seen if 'Cruel Summer' will conquer the Adult Pop Airplay chart for a record-breaking 25 weeks, Swift's continued success only highlights her undeniable prowess as an artist. As fans eagerly anticipate the release of The Tortured Poets Department, it's clear that Swift's musical reign shows no signs of slowing down.
As we await more music from Taylor Swift's highly anticipated album, let's celebrate her ongoing achievements and eagerly watch as 'Cruel Summer' aims for the top spot in the Adult Pop Airplay chart. With each passing week, Swift inches closer to etching her name in the history books once again.
