Taylor Swift is once again making waves with the release of her album Speak Now which ranks No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Speak Now has joined her three other albums, Midnights (2022), Lover (2019), and Folklore (2020).
This achievement has propelled Taylor Swift as the first woman to have attained this in 60 years. She is one of the three living artists to have achieved such a feat. Prince is the only other artist to have at least four titles in the Top 10 simultaneously; he had five albums in the Top 10 after his death in 2016.

She claimed 25 spots on the Hot 100 this week, all 22 songs from Speak Now are in the ranking, debuting simultaneously. As a marketing technique, Taylor Swift makes history as woman singer yet again, withholding the release of any singles prior to the album’s launch. This created an unprecedented wave of excitement, leaving fans craving for Taylor Swift songs.
Taylor Swift billboard chart history began in October 2022 when she swept the entire Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 just days after the release of Midnights. She holds Speak Now dear as she wrote the songs between the ages of 18 and 20, and re-recorded at 32. Swift is also basking in the spotlight for her Eras Tour and earlier this month, she premiered a music video of one of her new tracks I Can See You.
