Taylor Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) is turning out to be the album that just keeps going—and that’s saying a lot when it comes to her full-lengths. The title itself is still performing well all around the world, even following its recent one-year release anniversary. One tune from the project is not just holding on and continuing to chart, but rising higher and higher, perhaps even taking on something of a life of its own.

“Style (Taylor’s Version)” lifts again on the Adult Contemporary chart. This week, the tune climbs from No. 23 to No. 22—just one spot—but that’s still significant for the cut.

No. 22 now marks the highest point that “Style (Taylor’s Version)” has reached on Billboard’s ranking of the most successful cuts on Adult Contemporary radio stations throughout the nation. This week marks the third in a row that Swift’s cut has managed to advance to a never-before-seen position on the roster.

As recently as October, No. 28 stood as the top placement for “Style (Taylor’s Version)” on the AC radio chart. Then it rose to a new high of No. 26 on the tally during the week dated November 2. The following frame, it pushed forward again, lifting three rungs to No. 23.

Such a performance wouldn’t be odd, especially for a Swift tune, if it was being currently promoted as a single. “Style (Taylor’s Version)” is not, however, earning such attention—at least it doesn’t seem that it is—which makes the cut’s growth both impressive and very odd.

“Style (Taylor’s Version)” was never chosen as a single from 1989 (Taylor’s Version). When Swift began promoting the re-recording of her pop blockbuster 1989 in mid-to-late 2023, she decided to focus instead on the newer tunes she added to the re-release. Both “Slut!” and “Is It Over Now?” were selected as singles, and they enjoyed varying levels of success on the Billboard tallies.

It’s likely that many radio programmers have been playing “Style” for years, ever since Swift made it a single from 1989 nearly a decade ago. Once the singer updated her catalog and asked both fans and the music industry to instead focus all attention on her re-recordings, which she has control over, it’s entirely possible that such a call made tunes like “Style (Taylor’s Version)” hits in their own right, simply because the original was always a favorite.
