Taylor is the first artist to get the top 14 spots and it's her second time getting all top 10 spots. Fortnight is Taylor's 12th #1 song as writer/singer, and 6th #1 as a producer.   Down Bad becomes her 10th #2 song.   She now as 59 top 10 songs which is a record for female artists. 

This is Post Malone's 5th #1 song.
