Pop queen Taylor Swift now has the most number of number-one albums than any other female music artist in history. Her recent album “Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)” broke all the records and become the 12th number-one album by Swift. With this record, the 33 years old singer has surpassed Barbra Streisand who previously hold the record among female music artists.
Billboard said on Monday that currently, Taylor is at the top of the list with 12 no.1 albums. In the case of male artists, Jay-Z, and the Beatles both hold the record with over a dozen of no. one albums. However, Billboard also mentioned that the album ranking system has evolved other the decades in order to include anthologies.
They also said that Taylor is the first ever living artist in the last 60 years who has a total of four albums in the top 10 at the same time namely, “Midnights,” “Lover”, “Folklore” and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)”.According to Billboard, Swift is also the first ever living artist to have a total of 11 albums in the top 200 simultaneously. It does not require to say that the fans, better known as Swifties are quite happy with this record-breaking feat.
The excitement is higher as Taylor has recently offered many hits from her musical arsenal at the fan-frenzied “Eras” tour. This tour is one of the biggest tours that started off in March and it is close to becoming the first billion-dollar tour.
Swift’s strategy of re-recording and re-releasing her earlier musical creations played a vital role in reviving her whole collection. The album “Speak Now” was originally released back in 2010. As music labels tend to take most of the profit and royalties, Swift took a vow to re-record her first six albums so she can control their rights. This contractual process started back in November 2020 and is still ongoing. She has also re-recorded the albums “Fearless” and “Red”. Both the original version and Taylor’s version are captivating music lovers and fans around the world.
Last year in October, Taylor Swift became the first ever music artist to simultaneously possess all 10 spots on the top US song chart after the release of her highly anticipated music album “Midnights.”
