Taylor Swift now boasts eight No. 1s on Billboard’s Streaming Songs chart thanks to “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault],” which debuts atop the Nov. 11-dated ranking.
In the tracking week of Oct. 27-Nov. 2 (the song’s first week of release), “Is It Over Now?” earned 32 million official U.S. streams, according to Luminate.
With eight rulers, Swift further distances herself from Justin Bieber, who has the third-most No. 1s in the chart’s 10-year history, and nears Drake, who leads all acts with 20.

Notably, the last four weeks have featured songs by either Drake or Swift at No. 1, each time a new leader (and with Drake and Swift replacing themselves at No. 1 on two occasions). The streak began when Drake’s “First Person Shooter,” featuring J. Cole, debuted atop the Oct. 21 tally, followed by a rise to No. 1 by Drake’s “IDGAF,” featuring Yeat, Oct. 28. Swift’s “Cruel Summer” then spent its first week at No. 1 Nov. 4, with “Is It Over Now?” the latest ruler.
Swift first reigned on Streaming Songs with “Shake It Off,” a two-week leader in November 2014. “Is It Over Now?” becomes her second re-record to lead, following “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” in November 2021.
The entire Streaming Songs list’s top nine is made up of songs from Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version), with “Is It Over Now?” followed by “Now That We Don’t Talk (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” at No. 2 with 28.2 million streams. With nine new top 10s, Swift pads her standing as the act with the second-most top 10s in chart history, with 48. Drake leads with 96.

The top non-Swift song on Streaming Songs is Zach Bryan’s “I Remember Everything,” featuring Kacey Musgraves, at No. 10 with 21.3 million streams, down 8%.
As previously reported, “Is It Over Now?” reigns on the multi-metric Billboard Hot 100, while 1989 (Taylor’s Version) crowns the Billboard 200.
