GLENDALE, AZ – MAY 08: Taylor Swift performs onstage during opening night of her 2018 Reputation … [+]
Taylor Swift is moving on up with her latest hit, “Karma,” the third official single from her album Midnights. The track is rapidly ascending several Billboard charts, indicating another major success for Swift.
“Karma” earns a small-but-important climb on this week’s on the Pop Airplay chart, rising from its previous position at No. 12 to its new peak at No. 9. This ranking evaluates the songs that garner the largest audience on pop radio stations in the United States on a weekly basis. Swift’s track has now entered the top 10, and it sets her apart from some of the biggest names in the music industry.
With “Karma” reaching the top 10 on the Pop Airplay chart, Swift earns her twenty-first top 10 hit on this particular ranking. This impressive feat allows her to break free from the tie she held with Justin Bieber and Ariana Grande, both of whom boast 20 top 10 hits on this highly competitive chart. Given that neither Bieber nor Grande have announced any upcoming releases, it appears that Swift will hold this historic record for the time being.
Taylor Swift now stands alone with the third-highest number of top 10 hits on the Pop Airplay chart, trailing behind Maroon 5 by only one appearance. The band has accumulated an impressive 22 smashes so far.
Leading the pack by a significant margin is superstar Rihanna, who has already amassed a staggering 30 top 10 hits on the Pop Airplay chart. It’s impressive that her sum is so high, considering she rarely adds to it these days, and yet she is still not being challenged by anyone for her supremacy.
The release of a new remix featuring Ice Spice has further fueled interest in “Karma,” providing additional momentum for the single’s climb the charts. With heightened anticipation surrounding the track, it is likely to continue its ascent in the coming weeks on the Pop Airplay chart and other Billboard rankings. As a result, Taylor Swift may soon find herself claiming another coveted No. 1.
