Taylor Swift keeps reaching new heights in her career.
This week, during the week of December 9, the 33-year-old singer-songwriter made history as the first live musical artist to have five albums simultaneously in the top 10 on the Billboard 200, according to the source.

Since the chart was consolidated into a single list between mono and stereo albums in August 1963, more than 60 years ago, the Grammy winner is the first active singer to accomplish the accomplishment.
Swift’s albums 1989 (Taylor’s Version) came in first, followed by Midnights in third, Folklore in fifth, Lover in sixth, and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) in tenth position in the top 10.
This past October, the wildly popular artist released 1989 (Taylor’s Version); this past July, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version); in 2022, Midnights; in 2020, Folklore; and in 2019—Lover.
Prince is the only other artist with five albums on the chart for the week of May 14, 2016.
The Very Best of Prince was ranked second at the time, followed by Prince and The Revolution’s Purple Rain soundtrack in third place, The Hits/The B-Sides in fourth place, Ultimate in sixth place, and 1999 in seventh place.
Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) spent the third week in a row at the top of the charts.
It topped the chart for the first time during the week of November 11 and remained there until the week of November 18.
Before moving back to the top this week, it remained in second place on the chart for the next two weeks.
The publication claims that Black Friday-related shop promotions contributed to a portion of Swift’s sales increase for the week.
Out of the four albums Swift has released after re-recording them, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) has lasted the longest time in the top spot, lasting three weeks, according to the publication.
Unafraid and Talk Red held the top rank for a week, while both of them stayed there for two weeks.
With 13 albums to her credit, Swift has spent 66 weeks at the top of the charts—the second-most of any solo artist and only one behind Elvis Presley’s 67. With 132 weeks, The Beatles are the overall champions.
The Shake It Off singer was scheduled to attend Sunday night’s game between her boyfriend Travis Kelce’s Kansas City Chiefs and the local Packers at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
The well-known duo first became romantically involved two months prior when Swift attended Kelce’s game on September 24 against the Chicago Bears while seated in an opulent box next to his mother Donna.
