In the US meanwhile, she became the first act in history to land 10 tracks in Billboard‘s Hot 100 song chart.
Earlier this week, it was reported that Swift would be challenged by The Beatles’ reissue of their classic album ‘Revolver’ for the top spot, but she has held on to remain at Number One on the album charts, with the song ‘Anti-Hero’ also scoring a second week at the top of the singles chart.
Other new entries in the chart include Michael Ball and Alfie Boe‘s ‘Together In Vegas’ is at number three, Fred again..‘s ‘Actual Life 3’ is at four and Arctic Monkeys‘ ‘The Car’ rounds out the top five.
