Taylor Swift has earned her record 12th No. 1 on Billboard's Pop Airplay Chart with "Cruel Summer."
The song, from Swift's 2019 studio album Lover, has topped the chart dated August 5.
Swift had been tied with Maroon 5, Katy Perry and Rihanna, as they all had 11 songs each with a No. 1 rank on the Pop Airplay Chart.
The singer-songwriter joined the ranks of these artists just two weeks ago when "Karma," a song from her 2022 album Midnights, became a chart-topper.
Swift had been performing "Cruel Summer" in the opening sets of her current The Eras Tour, which helped boost the song's popularity in recent weeks.
Billboard's Pop Airplay Chart measures songs' weekly plays on more than 150 U.S. mainstream top 40 radio stations.
