Taylor Swift Makes History as The First Artist to Have Entire Top 10 on Billboard Hot 100

Taylor Swift becomes the first artist to take the entire top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in a single week, making this one of the most historic weeks in the chart’s 64-year history.

Drake, who had nine of the top ten songs on the Hot 100 for a week in September 2021, is surpassed by Swift. Swift’s No. 1 single, ‘Anti-Hero’ set the bar high for her on the Hot 100.

The top 10 songs on the Hot 100 are all from Taylor Swift’s latest album ‘Midnights’, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart with the biggest week for any release in seven years. With her monopoly of the top 10, for the most Hot 100 titles from the top in a single week, Swift also surpasses Drake and The Beatles, who both dominated the top five for one week in 2021 and 1964, respectively.

Swift now has 40 top 10s, which is more than Madonna’s 38, making her the female artist with the most top 10s in the history of the Hot 100. She comes in second only to Drake among all acts (59 top 10s).

Additionally, ‘Midnights’ becomes the first album ever with as many as 10 Hot 100 top 10s, besting the nine from Drake’s Certified Lover Boy in 2021. 

Swift’s track, ‘Anti-Hero’ takes the no.1 spot on the Billboard chart followed by ‘Lavender Haze’, ‘Maroon’, ‘Snow on the beach’, ‘Midnight Rain’, ‘Bejeweled’, ‘Question..?’, ‘You’re on your own, kid’, ‘Karma’ and ‘Vigilante S**t’.
