Reply to comment by Canucker22 in [OC] Billboard's top 10 singles are getting progressively more negative (and less acoustic) over time by robert_ritz

I wonder how much of that was Taylor Swift's acoustic albums.

Considering that Midnights (though less folk-acoustic than folklore or evermore) currently holds all top 10 spots, as well as 13-15, I'd be willing to bet she's a big part of that impact

The last label on the graph is 2020 but it clearly goes beyond that.

Yes (though it looks like the data might actually spill over to 2021) - my point was more, her latest album is TOTALLY dominating the charts so it seems very likely that her previous albums (which were also extremely popular, and were very folk-acoustic) would have contributed to the 2020/2021 spike
