However, Swift was not alone in this groundbreaking achievement; Metro Boomin matched her in the number of chart features, leading fans to celebrate both artists as legends in their respective fields.

A month after the release of Taylor Swift’s record-breaking ‘The Tortured Poets Department,’ the pop star continues to dominate over 20% of the Billboard Hot 100, currently holding 22 spots. While her latest record made history on the Billboard pages, her earlier records maintained her stay in it. According to a recent report, Swift has tied with Metro Boomin for the most songs to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 this year, each having 35 songs. Both occupy the 4th and 5th ranks with ‘Anti-Hero’ and ‘Creepin’’ respectively.
