]]>Swift defeated tough competition to win the award for the artist of the year, in addition to coming out victorious in eight more categories. The Tortured Poets Department was named the best pop album of the year, while “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone won awards for best lyrics and music video.
Swift wasn’t in attendance at the ceremony, but she tuned in via video to accept the award for tour of the century for her record-breaking The Eras Tour. She described it as the most gratifying thing she’s ever done and thanked the fans for making it happen.
“The only reason I was able to take on those challenges, among others, the ambition of the production, the length of the show, the amount of shows in all the different countries we played in, that’s all because of the fans. You had the passion and the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world,” said Swift.
The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 17, with LL Cool J serving as a host.

]]>Beyoncé won historic 32 Grammys across her career – more than any other artist in history – but never got a chance to lift the album of the year trophy. She’ll get another shot with Cowboy Carter, but she’ll have to beat tough competition in the likes of Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, Chappell Roan, and Billie Eilish.
Beyoncé is also competing in the other two main categories, song and record of the year, with her smash hit “Texas Hold ‘Em”. “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish, “Fortnight” by Taylor Swift and Post Malone, “Good Luck Babe” by Chappell Roan, and “Not Like Us” by Kendrick Lamar also made the cut in both categories.
Chappell Roan and Sabrina Carpenter are both in the running for the “big four” awards. In addition to making it to the three main categories with their breakout albums The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess and Short n’ Sweet, they’re also nominated for the best new artist.
The 2025 Grammy Awards will take place at the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on February 2, 2025, with live broadcast on CBS and Paramount+.

]]>The post 2024 MTV VMAs: Taylor Swift Wins Big With “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Swift broke her own record when she won another video of the year award at the MTV VMAs for “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone. They had to beat tough competition in Ariana Grande’s “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)”, Billie Eilish’s “Lunch”, Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red”, Eminem’s “Houdini”, and SZA’s “Snooze” to take this award home.
“Fortnight” was also named song of the summer, in addition to winning awards for best collaboration, editing, and direction. Swift brought the number of her wins to seven by winning two more awards on her own – artist of the year and best pop.
Despite collecting trophy after trophy all night long, “Fortnight” wasn’t named the song of the year. This award went to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso”, who also managed to beat Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em”, Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me”, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”, and Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control”.
The 2024 MTV VMAs took place at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on September 11, with Megan Thee Stallion hosting the show for the first time.

]]>The post Taylor Swift Shares “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” Music Video appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The self-directed visual for Swift’s latest single kicks off with a time-lapse of a crowd filling the stadiums before taking us behind the scenes. The videos show her rehearsing for the show before hitting the stage, and delivering an epic career-spanning performance in front of a roaring crowd.
Using The Eras Tour as a setting for this video makes total sense, since “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” tackles Swift’s perseverance in the face of many personal hardships she had to deal with while touring the world. It was released as the second single from her latest album The Tortured Poets Department, which recently scored its 15th week at No. 1.
The Eras Tour grew into a true cultural phenomenon since its launch in 2023 and became the highest-grossing concert tour of all time and the first to gross over $1 billion. Swift recently wrapped up the European leg of the tour with a series of concerts in London, and she’ll go back to touring across North America in October.

]]>The post Taylor Swift’s “Tortured Poets” Lands Lucky 13th Week at No. 1 appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The lack of competition helped Tortured Poets climb to the top during its latest week on the chart, with 71,000 equivalent album units earned. This is the smallest weekly sum for a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart since Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time led the way back in March with 68,000 units.
Tortured Poets also happens to be the first album to spend at least 13 weeks at No. 1 since One Thing at a Time, which dominated the Billboard 200 chart for 19 non-consecutive weeks. It’s also the first album by a female artist to spend at least 13 weeks on top since Adele’s 21 earned 24 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2011-12.
The Tortured Poets Department is the longest-leading chart-topper in Swift’s career, and it made history as the first album by a female artist to spend its first 12 weeks atop the Billboard 200. It also helped Swift extend her record for most weeks at No. 1 for a soloist to 82, while the all-time record is held by The Beatles with 132 weeks.

]]>The Death of Slim Shady hit No. 1 with 281,000 units, including 164,500 SEA units (equaling 220.08 million on-demand official streams), 114,000 in album sales (all from digital downloads since the album wasn’t released in physical formats), and 2,500 TEA units.
This is the biggest sales week in 2024 for a rap album, and it marks Eminem’s 11th album to hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. He ties Bruce Springsteen, Barbra Streisand, and Kanye West for the fifth-most No. 1s on the Billboard 200, behind The Beatles with 19, Jay-Z and Taylor Swift with 14 each, and Drake with 13.
The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce) is the first new album to occupy the No. 1 spot since the release of Swift’s Tortured Poets. This album spent 12 consecutive weeks at No. 1, setting several major records in its wake, but it slipped to the No. 4 spot this week. In addition to Eminem’s The Death of Slim Shady, ENHYPEN’s Romance: Untold and Zach Bryan’s The Great American Bar Scene also made it to the top three on the Billboard 200 chart.

]]>Swift defeated tough competition to win the award for the artist of the year, in addition to coming out victorious in eight more categories. The Tortured Poets Department was named the best pop album of the year, while “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone won awards for best lyrics and music video.
Swift wasn’t in attendance at the ceremony, but she tuned in via video to accept the award for tour of the century for her record-breaking The Eras Tour. She described it as the most gratifying thing she’s ever done and thanked the fans for making it happen.
“The only reason I was able to take on those challenges, among others, the ambition of the production, the length of the show, the amount of shows in all the different countries we played in, that’s all because of the fans. You had the passion and the generosity to care about traveling to see us on tour in all these places all over the world,” said Swift.
The 2025 iHeartRadio Music Awards took place at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 17, with LL Cool J serving as a host.

]]>Debí Tirar Más Fotos earned 203,500 equivalent album units during its first full tracking week, including 195,000 SEA units (equaling 264.03 million on-demand official streams of the set’s songs), 7,500 traditional album sales, and 1,000 TEA units.
Debí Tirar Más Fotos scored the largest streaming week for a Latin album since Bad Bunny’s own record Un Verano Sin Ti debuted with 356.55 million. He also hit No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with El Último Tour Del Mundo (2020) and Nadie Sabe Lo Que Va a Pasar Mañana (2023).
Bad Bunny managed to top the Billboard 200 chart with Debí Tirar Más Fotos just 1,000 units ahead of Taylor Swift’s Lover: Live From Paris, which hit No. 2 with 202,500 equivalent album units earned.
Debí Tirar Más Fotos hit the shelves on January 5, and its release was preceded by singles “El Clúb”, “Pitorro de Coco”, and “Baile Inolvidable”. Bad Bunny will promote its release with a 30-day Residency at Coliseo de Puerto Rico, which sold out in just four hours.

]]>After ruling Spotify Wrapped last year, Swift’s domination continued into 2024, and she managed to top two of Spotify’s global lists. In addition to being crowned the most-streamed artist on the planet with 26.6 billion global streams, Swift also scored the most-streamed album of 2024 with The Tortured Poets Department.

They took eight out of ten spots on the global list, with Hit Me Hard and Soft by Billie Eilish, Short n’ Sweet by Sabrina Carpenter, Mañana Será Bonito by Karol G, and Eternal Sunshine by Ariana Grande coming behind Swift’s Tortured Poets.
Carpenter dominated the list of the most-streamed songs of 2024 after taking the world by storm with her viral hit “Espresso”. “Beautiful Things” by Benson Boone, “Birds of a Feather” by Billie Eilish, “Gata Only” by FloyyMenor and Cris MJ, and “Lose Control” by Teddy Swims rounded out the top five on this list.

]]>The post 2024 MTV VMAs: Taylor Swift Wins Big With “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>Swift broke her own record when she won another video of the year award at the MTV VMAs for “Fortnight” ft. Post Malone. They had to beat tough competition in Ariana Grande’s “We Can’t Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)”, Billie Eilish’s “Lunch”, Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red”, Eminem’s “Houdini”, and SZA’s “Snooze” to take this award home.
“Fortnight” was also named song of the summer, in addition to winning awards for best collaboration, editing, and direction. Swift brought the number of her wins to seven by winning two more awards on her own – artist of the year and best pop.
Despite collecting trophy after trophy all night long, “Fortnight” wasn’t named the song of the year. This award went to Sabrina Carpenter’s “Espresso”, who also managed to beat Beyoncé’s “Texas Hold ‘Em”, Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me”, Kendrick Lamar’s “Not Like Us”, and Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control”.
The 2024 MTV VMAs took place at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, on September 11, with Megan Thee Stallion hosting the show for the first time.

]]>The post Taylor Swift Shares “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” Music Video appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The self-directed visual for Swift’s latest single kicks off with a time-lapse of a crowd filling the stadiums before taking us behind the scenes. The videos show her rehearsing for the show before hitting the stage, and delivering an epic career-spanning performance in front of a roaring crowd.
Using The Eras Tour as a setting for this video makes total sense, since “I Can Do It With A Broken Heart” tackles Swift’s perseverance in the face of many personal hardships she had to deal with while touring the world. It was released as the second single from her latest album The Tortured Poets Department, which recently scored its 15th week at No. 1.
The Eras Tour grew into a true cultural phenomenon since its launch in 2023 and became the highest-grossing concert tour of all time and the first to gross over $1 billion. Swift recently wrapped up the European leg of the tour with a series of concerts in London, and she’ll go back to touring across North America in October.

]]>The post Taylor Swift’s “Tortured Poets” Lands Lucky 13th Week at No. 1 appeared first on Hot Pop Today.
]]>The lack of competition helped Tortured Poets climb to the top during its latest week on the chart, with 71,000 equivalent album units earned. This is the smallest weekly sum for a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart since Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time led the way back in March with 68,000 units.
Tortured Poets also happens to be the first album to spend at least 13 weeks at No. 1 since One Thing at a Time, which dominated the Billboard 200 chart for 19 non-consecutive weeks. It’s also the first album by a female artist to spend at least 13 weeks on top since Adele’s 21 earned 24 non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2011-12.
The Tortured Poets Department is the longest-leading chart-topper in Swift’s career, and it made history as the first album by a female artist to spend its first 12 weeks atop the Billboard 200. It also helped Swift extend her record for most weeks at No. 1 for a soloist to 82, while the all-time record is held by The Beatles with 132 weeks.
