The total takeover saw her song, Anti-Hero, launch in the Billboard Hot 100's top spot.

It is the first time in the chart's 64-year history that a single artiste has claimed the entire top 10, Billboard said.

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