Taylor Swift‘s latest album, ‘Midnights,‘ is currently dominating the Billboard 200 in nearly unprecedented fashion.

Opening to gargantuan sales of over 1.5 million first week, the project broke several all-time records on its path to the top of the chart including making her the first act to see five different albums sell over 1 million copies in one week, best one-week vinyl sales of the Luminate era (575,000), making her the first female artist to have 11 albums debut at #1, and so much more (as we reported here).

The slayage is by no means limited to the Billboard 200, however. Look inside to see how Swift is being penciled in Hot 100 history books for the tunes that line her latest LP.

As expected, Swift scored the most historic week in the 64-year history of the Hot 100 thanks to songs from ‘Midnights.’

Debuting at #1 with the set’s lead single, ‘Anti-Hero,’ Taylor now owns five #1 debuts – tying the all-time record among women previously set by Ariana Grande. K-Pop group BTS also has five #1 debuts. Canadian rapper Drake, with seven #1 debuts, leads among all artists.

Unlike Grande and Drake, however, Taylor is the first solo act to have five solo #1 openings.

Becoming her overall ninth chart-topper, here are the numbers that powered the song’s pounce to #1.

• Streaming: 59.7 million
• Digital Downloads: 13,500 sold
• Radio Airplay: 32 million

Look below to see how other hits from the project stack up.

No. 1, “Anti-Hero”: 59.7 million streams / 32 million in airplay audience / 13,500 sold
No. 2, “Lavender Haze”: 41.4 million / 2.4 million / 2,800
No. 3, “Maroon”: 37.6 million / 471,000 / 2,900
No. 4, “Snow on the Beach,“ feat. Lana Del Rey: 37.2 million / 615,000 / 2,600
No. 5, “Midnight Rain”: 36.9 million / 449,000 / 2,200
No. 6, “Bejeweled”: 35.5 million / 1.6 million / 16,100
No. 7, “Question…?”: 31 million / 425,000 / 21,400
No. 8, “You’re on Your Own, Kid”: 34.1 million / 498,000 / 1,500
No. 9, “Karma”: 33 million / 1.9 million / 3,400
No. 10, “Vigilante Shit”: 32.2 million / 424,000 / 6,400

Swift becomes the first artist in history to occupy the Hot 100’s entire top 10 by her lonesome, passing a record previously set by Drake (who owned 9 of the top 10 with hits found from his latest album ‘Certified Lover Boy’). It’s worth noting that the streams for ‘Midnights’ was so strong that Tay would’ve occupied the entire top 10 by herself without a single spin or radio or digital sale.

By adding 10 new top 10s to her cumulative record, Swift now has 40 top 10 hits to her credit – a feat that sees her leave Queen of Pop Madonna behind on the all-time list of artists with most top 10s.  Among all acts, Taylor trails only Drizzy (59 top 10s).
