Almost 20 years into her career, Taylor Swift continues to set impressive records, outdoing herself in the process. According to Guinness World Records, as of May 6, 2023, all of Swift's studio albums were on the Billboard 200 chart, except her debut and the original recordings of "Fearless" and "Red." A special release from 2020, "Folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions," led the pack at the third position on the charts, likely because Swift released a new edition in honor of World Record Store Day in April.
And if you think that's impressive, you should know that this is her second time achieving this feat in 2023 alone, with the first being just two months prior, in March. The only other artists to have ten albums chart simultaneously are Whitney Houston, Prince, and David Bowie, but they were only able to achieve this milestone posthumously. Following his death, 19 Prince albums charted on the Billboard Charts, with five also in the top ten.
Over the years, Swift has set numerous Billboard records. Following the release of her tenth studio album, "Midnights," Swift became the only artist in Billboard history to occupy all the top ten spots on the Hot 100 chart. Even Swift's re-recorded work is reaching new highs. "Red (Taylor's Version)" charted at number one for 98 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart, breaking Shania Twain's record of 97 weeks.
