Taylor Swift made history by becoming the first person to make the entire Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100!

Taylor Swift beats Drake and... The Beatles!

The Anti-Hero track landed at #1, and nine other tracks from the Midnights album round out the top ten!

The album has topped the Billboard 200 and is coming off its biggest week in seven years.

This means the singer has overtaken Drake, who occupied nine of the top ten spots in the Top 10 for one whiole week in September 2021.

It is also worth noting that in 1964, five Beatles songs had occupied the Top 5.

Swift can now boast the most Top 10 hits among women on the chart with a total of 40, surpassing Madonna, who has 38.

In the case of Drake, he has 59 Top 10s in his pocket!

So Taylor Swift had one of the most historic weeks in the 64-year history of the Billboard Hot 100.

However, one can point out the difference between the music industries of yesterday and today, and the consumer and broadcast industries...

...making it difficult to compare Taylor Swift and the Beatles, for example, within a system like Billboard's.
