On the back of the release of Red (Taylor’s Version), Swift has twelve tracks in this week’s top 50.

#8: Silk Sonic ‘Smokin Out The Window’ – American duo Silk Sonic climb 28 spots to hit #8 with Smokin Out The Window. It becomes their second top ten single after Leave The Door Open. The single’s move comes in the same week the pair’s debut album, An Evening with Silk Sonic debuts at #4.
