The 40 Biggest Taylor Swift Songs
Taylor Swift released her self-titled debut album on Oct. 24, 2006. Since then, she's gone from country superstar to pop world monolith, making chart history in the process, all the way through her seventh studio album, Lover, released in August 2019.
As we celebrate Swift's newest release, Folklore, here's a list of the 40 biggest Taylor Swift songs based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100 (through the July 25, 2020, ranking; see full methodology below).
Taylor Swift's Biggest Billboard Hits chart is based on actual performance on the weekly Billboard Hot 100, through the July 25, 2020, ranking. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at No. 100 earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, certain eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.
