Taylor Swift keeps adding lines to her résumé.“Patient Zero”moved up to No. 10 on the Pop Airplay chart dated Oct. 31, giving her 30 career top 10s on the survey. That ties her with Rihanna for the most top 10s in the chart’s history, and the two stars are also tied at 52 total appearances each on the 40-position chart.

The numbers behind Swift’s run are staggering. Her first Pop Airplay top 10 was“Teardrops on My Guitar,”which reached No. 7 in February 2008. Since then she’s built the most No. 1s in chart history with 16, ahead of Bruno Mars at 13. Ariana Grande sits third all-time with 25 top 10s and currently has two songs in the top 10, so the race at the top is far from settled.

“Patient Zero”also debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 and comes from the deluxe edition of The Life of a Showgirl, which keeps producing chart hits months after release. So the question is simple: tie or no tie, who really owns pop radio in your book? Sound off in the comments.
