It’s official: Taylor Swift has more #1 albums than any woman in history

LOS ANGELES, USA (AP) – Congratulations are in order for Taylor Swift and her loyal fans, known as Swifties. The pop star officially has more #1 albums than any woman in history.

Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), released earlier this month, is the third in her endeavour to re-record her first six albums, instigated by music manager Scooter Braun’s sale of her early catalogue.

It has officially debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, becoming her 12th album to reach the top spot.

Previously, Barbra Streisand held the record, with 11 #1 albums.

Swift ties Drake’s record of 12 #1 records, but sits just behind Jay-Z, who has 14 #1 albums to his name, and the Beatles, who have 19.

In addition to hitting this incredible milestone, Swift has 2023’s biggest album release to date, with 716,000 equivalent album units, according to Luminate. An impressive 506,600 are in traditional album sales (a combination of 410,000 physical and 96,600 digital sales.)

With those figures, Swift has dethroned country singer Morgan Wallen, whose album One Thing at a Time sold 501,000 units in its first week.
