umich Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 On 19 November 2014, Taylor Swift's "Blank Space," the second single from 1989, lifted 13-1 on the Hot 100. It became her second leader from the album (following "Shake It Off") and her third number-one overall (dating back to 2012's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"). With "Blank Space" dethroning her own "Shake It Off," she became the first woman in Hot 100 history to replace themselves at the summit (which still remains a solo record as of this writing). "Blank Space" would spend seven uninterrupted weeks at the summit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chainsmoker Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Oh wow I never realized that she’s literally the ONLY SOLO Female to ever accomplish this. That’s extremely impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FolkLover1989 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 No pop girl can ever make a song like Blank Space That's just fact Blank Space and Set Fire to the Rain are the song that can never be replicated No wonder Taylor and Adele are the standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pride4jc1222 Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Blank Space was bigger than As It Was. The only reason why it didn't spend more weeks at #1 was because it went up against the most well-rounded smash in Uptown Funk. Taylor should release 1989 (TV) next. Blank Space (TV) would be a sure-fire #1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s the first song of hers that really grabbed me. It’s so catchy. I like that she pokes fun at herself in it without being cringe and still being relatable to the masses. It’s a great visual as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wastedpotential Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 Blank Space is probably the best-written massive hit that I can think of "Cause you know I love the players and you love the game" was my favourite Taylor line for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was cultural reset after cultural reset with smash hits like AATB, Blank Space, and Uptown Funk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By the Water Posted November 19, 2022 Share Posted November 19, 2022 It's really crazy looking back at how the 1989 singles had to go against the biggest hits of the decade. The only songs to go #1 between SIO's debut and BB's peak were AATB, UF and SYA (#17, #1 and #25 decade-end, respectively) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
