As fans know, Taylor Swift released her latest album, Midnights, on October 21st. Well, it has been confirmed that Taylor Swift is the first artist in history to occupy the entire top 10 of the Billboard Top 100 chart. In addition, she now surpasses Drake for the most songs in the top 10, as he had 9 out of 10 songs on the chart last year. This follows the news that Taylor Swift’s Midnights sold well over a million units in its first week of release.
Taylor’s single Anti-Hero is the number-one song on the chart. It replaced Sam Smith and Kim Petres’ Unholy. Fans should note that Taylor Swift’s Midnights is her 13th album and her highest opening week sales. This is a pretty unheard-of feat, especially with the trend of music not doing well in this climate.

Since the album’s release, social media has exploded with positive and creative takes regarding the album. People are having fun reacting to the music videos, creating skits to the songs, and anticipating the soon-to-come tour to support the album. Of course, Anti-Hero is the standout track from Midnights, but the fact that the entire top 10 for the week comes from the album shows its impact. Currently, fans are waiting to see what else the singer has up her sleeve in terms of more music videos and appearances. So far, she has released visuals for both Anti-Hero and Bejeweled from Midnights.
The Billboard Top 100 tracks the most popular songs of the week. The chart considers streaming numbers, pure sales, and all other officially recognized means of consuming music. Having a song in the Billboard top 10 is a huge accomplishment, but occupying all ten positions is unheard of until now.
