After occupying the entire top 10 of the most listened to songs in the United States last October, the American singer is the first woman to see four of her albums monopolize the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. Before her, only Prince and Herb Alpert had succeeded.

New album, new record. While on tour, Taylor Swift once again left her mark on the music industry by simultaneously placing four of her albums in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100, the famous American ranking, which reveals the 100 most popular titles every week. With the reissue of her album Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) in first place, Midnights (2022) in fifth, Lover (2019) in seventh and Folklore (2020) in tenth, four of the singer’s opuses thus feature at the top of the charts across the Atlantic.

If at 33, the American singer has already accumulated a dozen albums, rewarded with more than 500 awards, it is the first time that a female artist has achieved such a feat since the creation of the rankings in 1963. Before her, only American trumpeter Herb Alpert and Prince saw several of their albums simultaneously chart in the top 10 of the Billboard 100.

Between trophies and records, Taylor Swift also regularly occupies the first places on the podiums. Already, the reissue of his album Speak Now (Taylor’s Version), released on July 7, has upset the Billboard 200 rankings by selling 716,000 copies in the first week of its exploitation – a figure that combines physical sales, digital and streaming the album. And now, the pop artist’s albums account for four of the five biggest starts of the past five years, with Adele’s album 30 (2021) coming in at number four, just ahead of Speak Now.

Last October, songs by Taylor Swift occupied the entire top 10 most-streamed songs in the United States. Each of these ten songs were taken from Midnights, his tenth studio album, released on October 21, 2022. And it is the first time that an artist has achieved such a feat since the launch 64 years ago of the Billboard Hot 100. She thus surpassed Drake, who occupied 9 places in the Top 10 with his album Certified Lover Boy in September 2021.
