Taylor Swift sits at No. 1 on a number of Billboard charts this week, at least until the company refreshes its lists once again tomorrow (Tuesday, November 30). The singer-songwriter’s Red (Taylor’s Version) rules the Billboard 200, while her album cut “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” dominates the Hot 100 songs ranking, bringing her back to the summit for the eighth time in her career. The tune debuts atop the all-genre tally of the most-consumed songs in the U.S. thanks in large part to especially healthy sales, as fans purchased tens of thousands of copies of the many versions of the title.
“All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” doesn’t just sit at No. 1 on the Digital Song Sales chart this week, it outperforms every other release on the ranking of the bestselling tunes in America by a sizable margin. In fact, it outsold a number of the biggest hits that come right behind it.
Swift’s latest ruler on the Digital Song Sales chart outsold the rest of the top five bestselling songs in the U.S., proving that when the singer has something she wants to succeed and she promotes it properly and intensely, anything is possible.
In its first week of availability, “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” sold just over 57,800 copies in America. That is more than the sales totals of the next four titles combined. Appearing just after the new champion on the current edition of the Digital Song Sales chart are Adele’s “Easy on Me” (No. 2, just under 24,800 copies sold), Elton John and Dua Lipa’s “Cold Heart” (No. 3, just under 12,000 copies), Walker Hayes’ “Fancy Like” (No. 4, 9,400 copies) and Luke Combs’ “Doin’ This” (No. 5, 8,800 copies).

Swift’s new No. 1 sold so well thanks to the fact that there were several versions of “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” available for super fans to purchase. The singer released a straight re-recording of the tune, as well as an extended take that nearly doubled the length of the original. The Grammy winner also shared a live acoustic rendition and one recorded elsewhere that she dubbed the Sad Girl Autumn version. All purchases of these titles were combined into one charting entity.
