Here Are All the Hot 100 & Billboard 200 Chart Records That Taylor Swift Has Broken

Taylor Swift has long been a powerhouse on Billboard’s charts, dating all the way back to her 2006 debut single, “Tim McGraw.” In recent years, the superstar has reached unprecedented heights, thanks to her latest original material and rerecorded versions of her earlier albums.

Swift’s most recent rerecord, 1989 (Taylor’s Version), became her 13th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 in November 2023, extending her record for the most leaders among solo women. To date, only The Beatles and Jay-Z have more, with 19 and 14, respectively. In its opening week, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) sold 1.359 million copies in the U.S., according to Luminate. It became her record-extending sixth album to sell at least 1 million copies in a single week, after Speak Now (1.046 million; Nov. 13, 2010), Red (1.208 million; Nov. 10, 2012), 1989 (1.286 million; Nov. 15, 2014), Reputation (1.216 million; Dec. 2, 2017) and Midnights (1.14 million; Nov. 5, 2022).

Among Swift’s other album achievements: the most albums to sell 500,000 copies in a single week in the Luminate data era (1991-present) (10); the most vinyl albums sold in a week (693,000, for 1989 [Taylor’s Version]); and the most albums on the Billboard 200 in a single week among women (11).

Swift’s Billboard Hot 100 accolades are just as impressive. She leads all women for the most top five, top 10, top 20 and top 40 hits, as well as overall chart appearances. Plus, she’s the only artist in history to claim all 10 spots of the top 10 at the same time (Nov. 5, 2022, all from Midnights).

As Swift continues to achieve more history, here’s a look at all the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 chart records that she’s broken in her career, through the charts dated April 20, 2024.

It’s worth noting that, as streaming has become more prominent in recent years, certain acts have been able to achieve impressive Hot 100 feats after releasing high-profile albums. The model contrasts with prior decades, when acts generally promoted one single at a time in the physical-only marketplace and on radio. That shift in consumption helps explain why artists have been able to increase their total number of career entries and top 10s over short spans in recent years.
