Taylor Swift Continues Atop Artist 100 Chart, Mariah Carey Returns to Top 10

Taylor Swift spends a record-extending 88th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart (dated Dec. 9), thanks to 10 albums on the Billboard 200 – including a landmark five in the top 10 – as well as six songs on the Billboard Hot 100.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) leads Swift’s titles on the Billboard 200, returning to No. 1 with 141,000 equivalent album units earned Nov. 24-30, according to Luminate. Her other albums in the top 10 are Midnights (No. 3), Folklore (No. 5), Lover (No. 6) and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) (No. 10), as Swift becomes the first living artist to place five albums in the top 10 simultaneously (since the survey combined stereo and mono releases in 1963).

Here’s a recap of Swift’s 10 current Billboard 200-charting albums:

On the Hot 100, Swift charts six songs, led by “Cruel Summer” at No. 7, following four weeks on top. Next up, all from 1989 (Taylor’s Version): “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” (No. 21, after spending one week at No. 1); “You’re Losing Me (From the Vault)” (a debut at No. 46); “Now That We Don’t Talk (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” (No. 74); “Slut! (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” (No. 98); and “Say Don’t Go (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” (No. 100).

Rounding out the top five of the Artist 100, Morgan Wallen climbs 4-2, Drake drops 2-3, Olivia Rodrigo rises 7-4 and Zach Bryan bumps 6-5.

Mariah Carey surges from No. 20 to No. 10 on the Artist 100, returning to the top 10 for the first time since last holiday season, thanks to the latest gains for her holiday catalog, led by “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” The 1994 classic rises 4-2 on the Hot 100, having spent 12 total weeks at No. 1 between 2019 and last year’s holidays.
