Taylor Swift made music history Monday, becoming the first artist ever to simultaneously nab all 10 spots on the top US song chart after the release of her album "Midnights."

"Anti-Hero" led the charge, taking the Billboard Hot 100's top spot.

The last artist to come close was Drake, who took nine of the coveted spots in September 2021.

Swift released the highly anticipated "Midnights" -- her 10th studio album -- on October 21, which also debuted at the top of Billboard's main albums chart with the biggest week for a release since Adele's "25" in 2015.

The album's 13 songs tell "the story of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life," Swift said.

The three songs off "Midnights" not in the top 10 also charted, as did seven more tracks from the extended "3am edition."

It also drops as the 32-year-old makes good on her vow to re-record her first six albums so she can control their rights -- a process she was contractually allowed to begin in November 2020.
