Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” soars in at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200 songs chart (dated Nov. 11). Swift claims the top six songs on the survey – a first in the chart’s three-year-plus history. She one-ups the prior mark, which she also held, as she swept the top five on the Global 200 dated Nov. 5, 2022, when her album Midnights made its chart start.
The top six songs on the latest Global 200 are from Swift’s newest rerecorded album, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which bounds in atop the Billboard 200 chart, becoming her 13th No. 1 set, extending her mark for the most among women.
Swift also becomes the first artist to score new Global 200 No. 1s in consecutive weeks, as her new leader follows the coronation of her “Cruel Summer” a week earlier.
The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.
Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.
Six-cess: Swift Scores Record on Global 200
“Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” premieres at No. 1 on the Global 200 with 63.7 million streams and 7,000 sold worldwide in its first week (Oct. 27-Nov. 2).

Swift breaks out of a tie with Olivia Rodrigo for the most Global 200 No. 1s among women. Overall, she ties Bad Bunny for the most among all soloists; among all acts, their four each trail only BTS’ seven.
