Taylor Swift has surpassed Madonna to become the female artist with the most number-one albums in the United Kingdom. She is currently tied with Elvis Presley as the overseas artist with the most UK Number 1s, having released 13 chart-topping albums. She is only surpassed by Robbie Williams and The Beatles, both of whom have fifteen. This significant achievement confirms Swift's position in UK chart history and demonstrates her incredible influence on the music business. 

Taylor Swift’s 'Lover (Live from Paris)' has made an impressive debut at No. 1, marking her fourth live album and the first to achieve this feat. Initially released in limited quantities for Valentine’s Day 2023, it reemerged with a heart-shaped double vinyl edition, propelling it to the top with 47,000 sales. Remarkably, it achieved this without streaming, a rare feat that Swift had only accomplished by herself with 'Reputation' in 2017. Meanwhile, Inhaler’s 'Open Wide' and Kendrick Lamar’s 'GNX' round out the top chart positions.
