More than that, she gained the first solo woman to notch four different top 10 hits on the Alternative Songs airplay chart “All the Good Girls Go to Hell” peaking at No. 6, followed by “Bad Guy” and “Bury a Friend” garnering the top spot for separate two-weeks and “You Should See Me in a Crown” at. 7.
