Taylor Swift's latest album 'The Tortured Poets Department' is shattering records ever since its release, establishing her status as a music industry titan. Each new week has breached a record high with fans going berserk. But Swift's rise to the top is not a solo act - she has got company, (rather a competition) at this point.

A fellow artist, a seasoned vet with a proven track record, has been holding a record down for years, refusing to relinquish their spot in the spotlight. However, it seems that Swift has now joined the artist in the feat, sharing the spot.

According to Chart Data's latest analysis, Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department' has achieved a historic milestone, matching Whitney Houston's iconic album 'Whitney.' Both albums have spent their first eight weeks at number one on the Billboard 200, a feat only achieved by female artists. This impressive accomplishment solidifies Swift's position as a music industry powerhouse, with her latest album joining the ranks of Houston's 1985 classic. 

The album's unprecedented success comes after her much-celebrated victory at the Billboard for seven weeks straight, thereby cementing her status as a chart-topping sensation. However, as she moves on to the next feat, it is to see if the streak of records continues unhindered, or if an 80s classic proves dominant on the current sensation.

Call it animosity or achievement, Swift’s continuous success at ripping the charts off has left a lasting impact on her fans and the industry alike.

Taylor Swift's latest album, ‘The Tortured Poets Department', has shattered records left and right. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, marking Swift's tenth chart-topping album - a feat only achieved by five other artists in history; The Beetles, Jay-Z, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis Presley, and her age-old arc nemesis, Ye, formerly called Kanye West. 

Swift's album also broke records for the most streams in a week, with over 1.2 billion streams, and the largest sales week of the year, with over 1 million copies sold. Additionally, all 13 tracks from the album debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making Swift the first artist to achieve this feat. Celebrating these accomplishments, Swift has often taken to her socials thanking her devoted fan base for her success.
