Taylor Swift breaks another record
Taylor Swift is the first artist to reach the top 10 of the Billboard charts.
(dpa) The American musician Taylor Swift has broken another record with her new album “Midnights”: She is the first artist ever to occupy the top ten places in the American Billboard charts. This was announced by the magazine “Billboard” on Monday (local time). All the places in the top ten are taken by songs from their new album, which was released on October 21. The song “Anti-Hero” is number one.
Swift responded to the success on Twitter: “10 out of 10 in the Hot 100? With my 10th album? », she asked in a tweet and wrote that she was confused after the message. According to “Billboard”, the previous record holder was Canadian Drake, whose album “Certified Lover Boy” claimed nine of the top ten chart positions in 2021.
