Taylor Swift Sets Another '1989' Record With "Blank Space"
Since the day "Shake It Off" and news of Taylor Swift's genre-crossing 1989 dropped, the insanely catchy single, its choreography (or lack thereof) and the force of nature behind it all have been on everyone's minds. The album would go on to clinch the title for the best selling record of 2014 to date with sales leaping well over the million mark, and now Swift is adding another accolade to her collection.
For the first time ever on the Billboard Hot 100, a woman has succeeded her own No. 1 with another, and that'd be Taylor with "Blank Space." "Shake It Off" took a backseat to the latest track to drop from 1989, and she's also the only artist to score two Hot 100 No. 1 hits in 2014.
