Taylor Swift surpassed The Beatles's decades-long achievement as the artist with the most cumulative weeks in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200.
The news was met with excitement and cheers from the "Cruel Summer" hitmaker's fans who could not help but point out that it has been a long time coming.
"On George Harrison's birthday, too!"
"Taylegend."
"And some of y'all refuse to admit she's reached legend status I have to laugh," another added.
"This why y'all need to stop engaging in stan wars. she's out there competing with The BEATLES and you want me to take stan Twitter seriously?"
"Ask me why so many fade but I am still here," another wrote, referencing Swift's song "Karma," from her Grammy Award-winning album, "Midnights."
While some found the news to be surprising since Swift only has 10 studio albums, four live albums, 5 EPs, and 4 re-recordings as of this writing, while The Beatles boasts 17 studio albums, 5 live albums, 36 EPs, and 22 video albums.
Taylor Swift Overtakes The Beatles at No. 1
This is not the first time Swift blocked The Beatles from the music charts; last year, the singer maintained her position at the top of the UK albums chart with her "1989 (Taylor's Version)" album, while the four-membered band's "Blue" and "Red" album remained firmly behind.
According to Forbes, The Beatles boasts 15 No. 1 albums in their home country, but the "Love Story" singer's stronghold over the music charts all over the world continues.
The Beatles recently dropped their "last" single "Now and Then" in November; it features John Lennon's vocals taken from a demo.
The remaining surviving members, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr used artificial intelligence to clean the sound up and release it with the late singer's parts in.
Taylor Swift Rides Taylor-Mania
If The Beatles had Beatle-mania, Swift has Taylor-mania, and it has propelled the singer to once unimaginable heights in her career.
In July 2023, reports of Swift coming after The Beatles' historic achievement on the Billboard music charts came about.
When the "You Need to Calm Down" singer claimed three spots on the Billboard Hot 100, many already noted that she might beat the British band, who were the only other musical act to accomplish the feat.
