All ten entries in the Billboard Hot 100 top ten have something in common this week: Taylor Swift.
Indeed, the arrival of Midnights (which was expanded with seven additional tracks immediately after its release) has resulted in Swift locking down the top ten for the chart dated Nov. 5, notably making history in the process. In the No. 1 spot is “Anti-Hero,” the recently unveiled official video for which features cameos from comedian Mike Birbiglia and more.
PerBillboard, Swift has now become the first artist to take all 10 spots in a single week, besting Drake’s all-but-one week back in September of last year amid theCertified Lover Boy era.
“10 out of 10 of the Hot 100??? On my 10th album???” Swift told fans when reacting to the news on Monday, adding that the feat left her “in shambles.”
Other artists to have bagged multiple simultaneous Hot 100 top 10 entries in the past include The Beatles, who did so twice in 1964, and the late Juice WRLD. The latter saw five tracks from the posthumously released Legends Never Die charting in the top ten back in July 2020.
During a recent Tonight Show appearance, Swift hinted at possible plans for her first tour in years and further detailed the creative process behind Midnights, which she says is a “directly autobiographical” concept album.
“I’m feeling overwhelmed by the fans’ love for the record,” Swift said at the time. “I’m also feeling very soft and fragile. The two can exist at once.”
