The Contenders is a midweek column that looks at artists aiming for the top of the Billboard charts, and the strategies behind their efforts. Next week (for the upcoming Billboard Hot 100 dated May 11), Taylor Swift’s second week for The Tortured Poets Department should be less Hot 100-dominant than the first, allowing room for challengers from some much-less established stars (and one of her Eras Tour openers).  

Taylor Swift feat. Post Malone, “Fortnight” (Republic): Taylor Swift of course sets a record this week on the chart dated May 4 by locking down all 14 of the Hot 100’s top 14 spots with songs from her blockbuster new album The Tortured Poets Department, led by the Post Malone-featuring album opener and lead single, “Fortnight.” That song drew over 76 million official U.S. streams in its first week, according to Luminate – the best single-week mark for a song since YouTube user-generated content was removed from chart calculations in 2020 – while also bowing as the week’s top-selling track with 19,000 sold, and entering Radio Songs at a lofty No. 14 with its 31.1 million radio airplay audience impressions. 

The streams and sales should both drop considerably in the song’s second week – as is typical for debuts of its size – but radio should only continue to heat up from here, with the song already challenging for a top 10 spot on next week’s Pop Airplay chart. And while the streams will be down, they should still be fairly mighty in number, as the song remains in the top five on both Spotify’s and Apple Music’s daily US charts and its official music video in the top five on YouTube’s Trending music chart.  

Sabrina Carpenter, “Espresso” (Island/Republic): Swift’s primary competition for the chart’s top spot next week may come from her good friend and international Eras Tour dates opener Sabrina Carpenter. The multi-platform star’s new single “Espresso” became easily her highest-charting single on the Hot 100 with its No. 7 debut last week, and though it slides to No. 22 on this week’s chart, it remains the sixth-highest non-Swift song on the listing.
