Taylor Swift has done something that no artist in history has done before: claimed all of the top 10 spots on Billboard's Hot 100's chart.
A little more than a week after the release of her 10th studio album, Midnights, Swift became the first artist to claim the survey's entire top 10 in a single frame, surpassing Drake, who claimed 9 out of 10 spots on the Hot 100's chart in September 2021.
She also surpassed The Beatles for the most titles from the top of the Hot 100 in a single week. The Beatles held Numbers 1-5 on the chart back in April 4, 1964, according to Billboard.
All 10 songs on the chart are from Midnights, which also topped number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart with the biggest week for any album release in seven years.
At number one on the Hot 100's chart is "Anti-Hero," Swift's all-too-real single that also marked the beginning of the music video releases for the album.
Below is the order in which Swift's songs appear on the Billboard Hot 100's chart:
- "Anti-Hero"
- 'Lavender Haze"
- "Maroon"
- "Snow On The Beach" featuring Lana Del Rey
- "Midnight Rain"
- "Bejeweled"
- "Question...?"
- "You're on Your Own, Kid"
- "Karma"
- "Vigilante S***"
The lyrical mastermind tweeted the news on Monday, sharing a tweet by Billboard and writing, "10 out of 10 of the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I AM IN SHAMBLES."

Fans celebrated online as well, one user writing, "YAAAALLLL SHE DID IT SHHSCSJSKKDJDJD."
"TAYLOR SWIFT IS THE MUSIC INDUSTRY," another fan wrote. "SHE DID IT!!!! WE DID IT. Taylor Swift becomes the first artist in history to simultaneously occupy the entire top 10 on the Hot 100. Alexa play long live."
Besides dominating the top 10, this achievement now also marks the fourth time Swift has concurrently debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, something that she already held the record for.

Swift's 13-track album was updated just a few short hours after its release, as the ever-surprising artist released her 3 a.m. version of the album, which included seven new songs, as well as a Target version and four different CD and vinyl versions that could be put together to create a clock. With so many different versions of the album, Midnights ultimately sold 1.14 million pure sales in its first week.
Swift is also the first artist to ever have five albums debut with over 1 million U.S. copies, as Midnights now joins Reputation, 1989, Red, and Speak Now in that feat.
All in all, no one can deny that rooting for the anti-hero can pay off sometimes.
