The song 'Snow On The Beach,' featuring singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey, ranked 4th, followed by 'Midnight Rain,' 'Bejeweled,' 'Question...?,' 'You're On Your Own, Kid,' 'Karma,' and 'Vigilante Shit' in order.

With this, Swift now holds a total of 9 Hot 100 number-one songs. She has also achieved five Hot Shot Debuts, entering the Hot 100 at number one immediately upon album release.

In addition, Midnights is setting multiple records. The world's largest music streaming platform Spotify announced on October 22 that this album set a new record for 'the most streamed album in a single day ever.' Along with this, Swift also became the most streamed artist in a single day.

On the first day of the album release, it was the best-selling album of the year in the United States, selling over 1.2 million copies in just three days. It is the first time in five years that an album has sold over one million copies within a week of release in the U.S. The previous record was also set by Swift with her 2017 album Reputation.
