In 2023, Taylor Swift underwent a revolutionary shift marked by her artistic evolution, industry influence, and unwavering fan support. As the musical powerhouse revisited some old works and ushered in new projects, the world was shocked at her ability to deliver consistent successes. Especially through the release of ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ in October, she continued her reign as a chart-topping pop mogul. Now, this album has helped her shatter another record. 

As the world welcomes 2024, Swift is already marking her territory on this musical chart as its supreme title holder. 

Taylor Swift extends her stay in this chart

As of today, Swift’s ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ has successfully maintained its stronghold on the Billboard 200 albums chart for five weeks in total. It remained so for another three days before the album sales were tallied again to see if it continued its streak. By the end of December, the album had garnered nearly a million album sales in the USA alone!

Through this remarkable achievement, Swift has even surpassed her own Billboard records. Previously, her re-recorded albums ‘Fearless’ and ‘Speak Now’ had spent two weeks at the chart summit. Meanwhile, her ‘Red’ album spent one week at the same spot. It seems like the 34-year-old is on a mission to break records left right and center as ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ shows no signs of slowing down.

Through the same album, the ‘Style’ singer has conquered some other records too.

With the spike in her album launches and subsequent sales, the queen of pop has officially dethroned the king of rock ‘n’ roll!

Just a few days ago, ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’ also broke a Spotify record as one of her scores from this relaunched album crossed 600 million streams! Later, the music streaming giant also disclosed that the ‘Bad Blood’ artist was the most streamed musician on Spotify on the 1st day of 2024. All hints certainly seem to be pointing in the direction of another year dominated by the 12-time Grammy winner!
