Taylor Swift is on everyone's lips because the singer inspires the whole world not only with her charm, but above all with her songs. Now she has broken a record: she is the first artist to boast 12 number 1 albums. What other successes has she made and who will she dethrone?
Until now it was Barbra Streisand who sat on the throne with eleven albums. Now the young pop singer takes this place and deserves it, namely with the album “Speak Now (Taylor's Version), which is based on the classic from 2010 and is even better than its predecessor “Midnight” - a great success once again proves the singer's talent.
The remarkable singer breaks these records
Added to this is the fact that there are currently four albums in the top 10 at the same time, something that only two other living artists have ever achieved, including Herb Alpert in 1966 (she is the first woman). This last happened in 1963. In addition to the number 1 “Speak Now (Taylor's Version)”, the albums in question are the albums “Midnights” (the latest, number 5), “Lover” (2019, number 7) and “Folklore” (2017, number 10). The artist Prince achieved a record of having 5 albums in the top 10 at the same time, but only shortly after his death.
The success of her singles is also groundbreaking. The songwriter currently has 3 singles from different albums that are in the top 10 of the singles charts. These are: “I Can See You (Taylor's Version) (From the Vault)” (No. 5), “Cruel Summer” from “Lover” (No. 9) and “Karma” from “Midnights” (No. 10). We recently had this successdie Beatlesin 1964 with their singles “I Want To Hold Your Hand” (#1), “She Loves You” (#2) and “Please Please Me” (#6).
“Speak Now (Taylor's Version)” by Taylor Swift gets off to a fast start
Taylor Swift's latest album was released on July 7th. In just one week, 716,000 copies were sold in the USA alone. It's not just the album as a whole that's successful. Every single single quickly gained a place in the top 100 single charts.
With all these successes, the talented singer and songwriter has definitely marked a new milestone in her career, something that no one will likely imitate her so quickly.
