Listed at number one is “Fortnight,” Swift’s track with Post Malone which also became the most streamed song in a single day on Spotify.

Also in the top 14 are the title track, which prompted a series of theories with its references to several other artists.

“Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” also takes the ninth spot, after recently prompting a meme trend with one of its lyrics that drew contributors like activist and former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.
