This is Taylor’s 38th song and Shawn’s 18th song to reach 200M streams on Spotify.

Taylor Swift surpassed Mariah Carey as Billboard‘s All-Time Top Female Artist, but, why does this accomplishment feel like a non-event? Honestly, I don’t find Billboard achievements even remotely special anymore. Streaming has taken away what made these achievements so special. Nowadays, one song from an album can go viral and based off of the streams of one song can actually make the entire album “sell” 500,000 or 1,000,000 copies. For example, artists can now add songs to their albums via DSP’s to make add sales counts, artists can release several versions of a single and it counts towards sales of one single, etc. However, the main thing is that, streaming is so accessible nowadays and with playlisting etc. that it doesn’t feel like an accomplishment when an artist goes platinum. For instance, all of Mariah’s hit eras [at the time] and knowing of them from either personal experience, YouTube videos, articles, seem a lot more like a movement in time when the entire world was obsessed and out BUYING her music, showing up to sold out arenas, because music was less accessible in those times, whereas Taylor Swift’s eras, excluding Fearless, Red and 1989—don’t. I think the thing with Taylor is that she does have a great listenable discography full of family-friendly music, music with lyrics that are relatable and palatable for the GP, so her streaming numbers will probably withstand the test of time, but, do her achievements in the streaming era outweigh those of the pre-streaming physical era?

1. Lady Gaga (10 songs) 2. Taylor Swift (7 songs) 3. Madonna, Avril Lavigne, Kesha (4 songs) 6. Mariah Carey, Beyoncé, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Nicki Minaj, Carly Rae Jepsen, Ariana Grande (3 songs) 13. Jennifer Lopez, Alicia Keys, Leona Lewis, Adele (2 songs) Note : The Japan Hot 100 was created in 2008, artists that debuted before 2008 are obviously at disadvantage in this thread. If I missed a song, please tell me, so I can add it!
