Tay-Tay is a record breaker - again!
Swifties, rejoice - Taylor Swift has broken another world record by becoming the first artist in history to have her songs make up the entire US top ten!
Number one on the chart is Anti-Hero, which has exploded in popularity on social media app TikTok.
The Billboard Hot 100 in America said on Monday that the 32-year-old pop star had officially passed Drake, who had nine of his songs in the top ten last year.
And to say Taylor was excited about it would be an understatement - she tweeted: "10 out of 10 of the Hot 100??? On my 10th album??? I AM IN SHAMBLES".
'Midnights' is Taylor's tenth album
Taylor's new album came out on 21 October with both a 13-track standard release and a deluxe version with seven bonus songs.
Although Taylor is extremely popular in the UK as well, 'Midnights' won't be breaking similar records here any time soon.
On its release day, Midnights broke global Spotify records for the most streams of a single album in one day
It had the biggest first week of sales for any album, almost doubling previous record holder Harry Style's sales for 'Harry's House'
She now also has the most top ten songs of any female artist with 40, breaking Madonna's previous record of 38
There are stricter rules with our chart, which mean that only the three most popular songs on any given album are allowed to be in it.
This was introduced after 16 of the 17 songs on Ed Sheeran's 2017 album, ÷, got into the Top 20.
