Congratulations to Taylor Swift and her loyal fans known as the Swifties. This pop star has officially had more of her No. 1 albums than any woman in history.
“Speak Now (Taylor’s Version),” released earlier this month, marks her re-recording of her first six albums in the wake of her early catalog being sold by music manager Scooter Braun. It will be the third work of the initiative. The song officially debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, making it her 12th album to reach the top spot.
Barbra Streisand previously held the record with 11 No. 1 albums.
Swift ties Drake’s record with 12 No. 1 albums, but trails only Jay-Z with 14 No. 1 albums and The Beatles with 19.
In addition to achieving this incredible milestone, Swift is set to release her biggest album to date in 2023, according to Luminate, which equates to 716,000 album units. His traditional album sales are a whopping 506,600 (combining his 410,000 physical sales and his 96,600 digital sales).
Those numbers put Swift ahead of country singer Morgan Warren, whose album One Thing At A Time sold 501,000 copies in its first week.
