The 2010s have definitely been Taylor Swift’s decade, and if you need another proof of her domination – Forbes got you covered. The outlet recently reported that the 10-time Grammy winner sold more singles than any other recording artist this past decade.

According to Forbes, Swift managed to sell 75,893,000 individual tracks in just ten years, and no other artists even came close. Eminem came in second place with 63,501,000 singles throughout the decade, but he is more than 12 million sales behind Swift.

This doesn’t come as much of a surprise, considering how many hit songs Swift gave us over the course of the past ten years. “We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together,” “Shake It Off,” “Blank Space,” “Bad Blood,” and “Look What You Made Me Do” all topped the Billboard Hot 100, and the list of her singles in the top 40 is much longer.

Swift concluded the 2010s by dropping another chart-topping album, Lover, and she’s set to embark on a world tour in support of her latest album this summer. She was also named the Artist of the Decade at the American Music Awards. In addition, Netflix recently released a documentary about her, Miss Americana.
