It’s another week and another accomplishment for Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift as she grabs her 8th top ten
Billboard Hot 100 single debut with “If this was a Movie”. That gives her 10 total Hot 100 singles to grace the top ten and she has two more debuts this week with “Ours” at # 13 and “Superman” at # 26, not to mention having a fifth # 1 country single this week with “Sparks Fly”. She also nabbed the Entertainer of the Year award at last week’s CMA Awards and is up for a few American Music Awards on Sunday. The woman is a machine! These latest charting songs are from the re-release of her multiplatinum smash album Speak Now which hit iTunes last week… Swift is not the only one making news on the Hot 100. Rihanna holds at # 1 for a third week with “We Found Love” while debuting at # 73 with the follow up “You Da One” and Bruno Mars grabs his 8th top ten with “It Will Rain” from the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 soundtrack.
