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 studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, became her 14th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, tying Jay-Z for the most leaders among soloists in history. To date, only The Beatles have more, with 19. In its opening week, The Tortured Poets Department sold 1.913 million copies in the U.S., according to Luminate. It became her record-extending seventh 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), Midnights (1.14 million; Nov. 5, 2022) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version) (1.359 million; Nov. 11, 2023).

Among Swift’s other album achievements: the most albums to sell 1 million copies in a single week in the Luminate data era (1991-present) (seven); the most vinyl albums sold in a week (859,000, for The Tortured Poets Department); 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 (twice—on Nov. 5, 2022, all from Midnights, and again on May 4, 2024, with tracks from The Tortured Poets Department).

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 May 4, 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.
