It's Taylor's world...
Taylor Swift is back at the top of the Billboard 200 album chart again -- and she's broken a bunch of records getting there.
Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) has become the 12th chart-topper of her career, passing Barbra Streisand as the woman with the most number-one albums ever. Swift also ties Drake for the third most number-ones of any artist, behind only Jay-Z, with 14, and The Beatles, with 19.
In addition, it's the biggest week for any album this year, with 716,000 equivalent album units, of which just over half a million are in tradition album sales. It bests the year's previous best-selling debut album, Morgan Wallen's One Thing at a Time by over 200,000.
Taylor has now had at least one number-one album every year since 2019, and is the only woman ever to top the Billboard 200 in five straight years, The only act to top it for over five years in a row is The Beatles, whose streak ran seven years.
