Taylor Swift Premiere for Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour in Los Angeles

Taylor Swift's hit song 'Cruel Summer' continues to make waves in the music industry, solidifying its status as one of the most unlikely No. 1 hits in U.S. history. Originally released four years ago, the track recently re-entered the spotlight by climbing the Billboard charts once again.

On the Hot 100 chart, 'Cruel Summer' has surged back into the top 10, rising from No. 13 to No. 10. The song's popularity is also evident in its streaming and radio performance, with significant improvements on the Streaming Songs chart (No. 28 to No. 21) and the Radio Songs tally (No. 11 to No. 12).

Furthermore, 'Cruel Summer' has reappeared on the Digital Song Sales chart, ranking at No. 21 after selling 2,055 copies in the past tracking week. This marks a nearly 50% increase in sales compared to the previous week, showcasing the enduring appeal of the electro-pop smash.

As Taylor Swift gears up for the release of her upcoming album 'The Tortured Poets Department' in mid-April, fans eagerly anticipate new music from the acclaimed singer-songwriter. While details about the album's content remain under wraps, it's safe to assume that both the album and its tracks will dominate the Billboard charts upon their debut.
