Swift has surpassed Drake and The Beatles for the most songs at the top of the list in a single week. They each held the top five spots for a week in 2021 and 1964, respectively.
She can also now boast the most top 10 songs among female artists in the history of the chart, with 40 - beating Madonna’s 38. Among all acts, she is only behind Drake, who has 59 top 10s.
Midnights is now the first album ever to land the Hot 100 top 10, beating Drake’s nine from Certified Lover Boy last year.
The Hot 100 combines US streaming, radio play, and sales data, and will update on Billboard’s website tomorrow.
It comes after the song Anti-Hero faced some controversy over a scene which originally appeared in the music video, directed by Swift.
The video, which has now been edited after backlash, showed Swift stepping on bathroom scales which read “Fat”.
The scene was labelled “fatphobic” by activists and health experts and has since been cut.
