Swift’s record-breaking success isn’t limited to just one album. She has three albums that rank in the top 10, according to the most recent rankings. In addition to “1989,” “Midnights” comes in third place with 75,000 units, while “Lover” comes in seventh place with 60,000 units. The fact that Swift has released multiple albums attests to her broad appeal and ongoing success.

In the most recent chart week, “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” moved an incredible 136,000 units, up 25% from the previous week. Hits Daily Double predicts strong record sales, with “1989” leading the way at roughly 85,000 copies. This validates Taylor Swift’s supremacy in tangible sales, particularly considering her loyal fan base’s inclination towards vinyl.

Swift has accomplished a great deal, but it will be difficult for her to top The Beatles’ record of 132 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Fans are hopeful that Swift will eventually leave a lasting impression on the legendary Beatles record, considering her prolific output and ongoing popularity.

 

A significant turning point in the Billboard 200 chart’s history, Taylor Swift’s achievement of tying Elvis Presley’s record is more than a personal victory. Swift’s path confirms that she is a trailblazer and paves the way for what may be an unparalleled run at the top of the charts, as she is about to eclipse one of the most enduring characters in the music industry. Swift, the new pop royalty, is making history, and the whole music industry is watching with bated breath.
