At the age of 33, Taylor Swift has once again etched her name into the annals of history as the sole living artist to accomplish the remarkable feat of simultaneously holding the most albums on the esteemed US Billboard 200 chart. But Taylor's appetite for breaking barriers didn't conclude there.
The unveiling of her latest re-recording project, "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)," has propelled her to a remarkable 31st entry into the Top 10 of the illustrious Billboard Hot 100 chart.
Amidst these accomplishments, it's her enchanting track "I Can See You (Taylor’s Version)," among the cherished treasures of six previously unreleased " From The Vault " songs, that has been the driving force behind securing her latest accolade - the record for the highest number of Top 10 debuts on the US Hot 100 by a female artist.
Let's not forget the reimagined edition of "Red (Taylor’s Version)," which thrust Taylor Swift into the spotlight for clinching yet another milestone. This time, it was the record for the highest number of new entries on the Hot 100 by a female artist, when the album was unleashed upon the world in November 2021.
Astoundingly, 26 out of 30 tracks from this album made their debut on the chart simultaneously. Notable inclusions were gems like "All Too Well (10 Minute Version)," "Stay Stay Stay," "Begin Again," and the collaborative masterpiece "Run" featuring Ed Sheeran .
Amongst the remarkable accomplishments, Taylor Swift has also outdone herself by surpassing her own prior record. She now holds the title for the highest cumulative weeks at No.1 on the US albums charts for a solo female artist.
As of July 29th, the collective span of her 12 No.1 albums has amounted to a staggering 63 weeks reigning at the pinnacle of the charts. This includes both the original versions of her albums and the re-recorded editions that she embarked upon after the rights to her initial six albums were relinquished.
Taylor had achieved this feat twice earlier - with 47 weeks in 2020, and a remarkable 56 weeks in 2022.
This trailblazing artist's 12 No.1 albums also denote her ownership of the most US No.1 albums by a female artist record, a distinction she previously shared with Barbra Streisand . Both had held 11 No.1 albums until Taylor surged ahead.
The distinguished roster of Taylor's 12 No.1 albums comprises:
- Fearless
- Speak Now
- Red
- 1989
- Reputation
- Lover
- Folklore
- Evermore
- Fearless (Taylor’s Version)
- Red (Taylor’s Version)
- Midnights
- Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)
In addition to her album achievements, Taylor Swift's dominance extends to the realm of singles. With a remarkable 212 entries, she reigns supreme as the female artist with the highest number of appearances on the US singles chart.
Remarkably, as of July 22nd, an astonishing 25% of the US Hot 100 chart was dominated by Taylor Swift's tracks from "Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)."
With the internet abuzz with speculation about the potential re-recording of "Reputation (Taylor’s Version)," it's safe to predict that Taylor Swift's journey of breaking her own records and achieving even greater heights is far from over.
