Taylor Swift’s recent No. 1 single, “Is It Over Now?,” drops off the Hot 100 after 22 weeks due to Billboard’s recurrent rule, as it was overshadowed by a surge of songs from Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter album. Despite maintaining a strong presence on the chart since its debut, the track failed to stay in the top 50, leading to its removal. The influx of new hits from other artists, including Beyoncé and Future, contributed to the song’s decline. However, Swift is set to release her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, which is expected to make a significant impact on the Hot 100.
