Taylor Swift became the first artiste in history to claim top 10 slots of Billboard Hot 100 chart.
LONDON (Reuters) - Taylor Swift scored a 10 out of 10 as she became the first artiste in history to claim the top 10 slots of the Billboard Hot 100 chart with tracks from her new record Midnights.
Billboard reported on Monday (Oct 31) that Swift surpassed Drake, who had held the previous record with nine of the top 10 songs for a week in September 2021.
“10 out of 10 of the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I AM IN SHAMBLES,” the pop star tweeted on Monday.
The new album came out on Oct 21 with both a 13-track standard release and a deluxe version with another seven bonus tracks. It has had one of the biggest album launches in nearly seven years. Billboard also reported that Swift now ties with Barbra Streisand for the female artiste with the most No 1 albums.
The No 1 spot belongs to Anti-Hero, whose lyrics “It s me/hi/I m the problem/It s me” have quickly become a TikTok trend. The other top 10 songs include Lavender Haze, Maroon, Snow On The Beach, Midnight Rain, Bejeweled and Question...?.
The numbers are for the week of Oct 21 to Oct 27.
