Taylor Swift enjoys her longest-running Number 1 to date on the Official Singles Chart, as Anti-Hero makes it three consecutive weeks at the top.

The single, which helped Taylor break Official Charts records upon its release, surpasses her 2017 chart-topper Look What You Made Me Do, which managed two weeks at Number 1. This is thanks, in part, to a brand-new version of Anti-Hero featuring Bleachers, released this week. Explore Taylor Swift’s extensive Official Charts history here.

So much for the hyped RiRi return...Already out of the Top 10 and not Wakanda Forevers' release can turn it around..Some might see entering at 3 as success but in this streaming day and age it's a failure to not go straight into 1 anymore..After 6 years (too long) of waiting she now longer has the chart dominance she once had because the fickle buying public have long moved on .

At least the awful DRAKE isn't number 1 this week and KIM is still going strong at number 2!! Disappointed still to see RIRI dropping that fast this week!!

Anti-Hero is a great tune! Hoping Rely On Me by Sigala will chart well next week. What a throwback to 2 Times :)

Really didn’t expect Taylor to stay at the top with the competition from Drake & 21 Savage, given how big the latter were with streaming! 😮

Nonetheless, glad 'Anti-Hero' managed to surpass 'Look What You Made Me Do'. :)
