Taylor Swift is back with another massive week on Billboard’s charts (dated July 22), following the July 7 release of her new re-recorded album Speak Now (Taylor’s Version).
The set debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 716,000 equivalent album units earned in the July 7-13 tracking week, according to Luminate. That’s the biggest one-week total since Swift’s own Midnights debuted with 1.578 million units on the Nov. 5, 2022-dated chart. The LP becomes her 12th No. 1 on the Billboard 200, pushing her past Barbra Streisand for the most among women. Among all acts, Swift ties Drake for the third-most No. 1s, after The Beatles (19) and Jay-Z (14).
