Being a superstar doesn’t always mean having chart hits.

From massive rock groups and boy bands to iconic vocalists and singer-songwriters, there are countless acts that have managed to inspire generations of entertainers and win over millions of fans without having ever actually notched a No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Over the years, there have been some especially surprising icons who would seem to have a few No. 1s under their belt, but for whatever reason, their songs never managed to wind up sitting at the top spot of the chart.

Not having a No. 1 doesn’t take away from these talented artists’ repertoire, and it’s pretty interesting to see how charts don’t always mean everything when it comes to a musician’s success and impact on the culture.

Taylor Swift is simply unstoppable.

The 33-year-old 1989 singer-songwriter topped the Billboard Hot 100, and then took seven more spots in the Top 10, as of this week’s chart.

The massive feat comes after the release of her 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which became her first re-recording to actually outsell the original version’s opening week, and broke a bunch of records.

Now, a bunch of the songs from that re-recorded album are hovering in this week’s Top 10.
