Taylor Swift fans, aka Swifties, have long branded her ‘the music industry,’ and well, with her latest achievement, it’s totally understandable why.
The US star has been breaking records left, right, and centre over recent weeks, with her latest album, Midnights, becoming the most-streamed album on Spotify in a single day.
Not only that, but the country-turned-pop star smashed the UK charts too, after her album and single, Anti-Hero- secured the top spots.
Now, she’s gone one better and done something no other artist has ever done, occupying the entire top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the States – go, Taylor!
Drake came close to the feat in September 2021 when his songs claimed nine out of the 10 spots, but T Swizzle – and her diehard fans – managed to go one better.
Sitting pretty at the top is, of course, Anti-Hero, marking her ninth career leader after the track received 59.7million streams and sold 13,500 copies.

Taylor’s previous number one singles in the US include We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together, Blank Space, Look What You Made Me Do and, most recently, All Too Well (Taylor’s Version) from the re-recording of her Red album.
Coming in at number two this week is the bop that is Lavender Haze, followed by Maroon.
At number four sits Snow on the Beach, which features none other than Lana Del Rey, meaning the milestone is also the first time the Billboard top 10 has ever been absent of men.
In the middle at number five is Midnight Rain while Bejewelled sits at number six, a track for which Taylor recently released a dazzling music video with cameos from Laura Dern, Haim, and Dita Von Teese.

At number seven is Question…?, while You’re On Your Own, Kid sits at eight and Karma at nine.
Completing the top 10 with a still very impressive 32.2million streams is Vigilante S**t, Taylor’s first ever track with an explicit title.
Of course, the Shake It Off hitmaker is overjoyed by the news, taking to Twitter to absolutely freak out.
’10 out of 10 of the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I AM IN SHAMBLES,’ she penned.
Her fans are also equally as proud and excited over the news, with the sight of all her songs making up the top 10 truly being one to behold.
‘Icon behaviour,’ one fan declared, while another tweeted: ‘Another day, another slay.’

Amid the global success of Midnights – a concept album inspired by sleepless nights and what has kept Taylor awake – rumours of a tour are rife, with the Bad Blood songstress recently teasing an announcement on The Graham Norton Show.
Reports have suggested it could be any day now that we get some sort of news, which fans are dying for following the cancellation of her 2020 Lover Fest due to the pandemic.
One thing’s for certain, we’ll be there, front and centre, belting out all the lyrics.
