Swift has broken yet another record.

Taylor Swift’s latest album Midnights has broken another record just 10 days after its release, Billboard announced Monday. All 10 top spots on the Billboard Hot 100 are songs from Swift’s new album, making her the first artist in history to complete this feat.

Swift tweeted she was “in shambles” about the news.

Drake previously held the record for most top spots, scooping nine of them for a week in September 2021 when he released his album Certified Lover Boy. Until now, The Beatles and Drake also tied with the record of holding the top five spots for a week in 1964 and 2021, respectively.
