Taylor Swift has become the first artist in history to claim the top 10 slots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in the US, with tracks from her new record Midnights.

Billboard reported on Monday that Swift surpassed Drake, who previously held the record with nine of the top 10 songs for a week in September 2021.

Swift's new album was released on October 21 with both a 13-track standard release and a deluxe version with seven bonus tracks.

Billboard also reported that Swift now ties with Barbra Streisand for the female artist with the most number-one albums.

The number-one spot on the chart belongs to Swift's song Anti-Hero, whose lyrics "It's me/hi/I’m the problem/It's me" have quickly become a TikTok trend.

On the day of its release, Midnights broke global Spotify records for the most streams of a single album in one day. 

Swift has set a number of new records with her new album.

It had the biggest first week of sales of any album this year, almost doubling the numbers of the previous title-holder, Harry’s House, the third solo album by Harry Styles.
