Los Angeles: Singer Taylor Swift continues to make her mark in history becoming the first woman, and only the third artist ever, to have four albums in the Top 10 of the US album chart simultaneously.
The re-recorded ‘Speak Now’ made its debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart joining three other Swift albums in the Top 10. The 33-year-old also beat a record set by Barbra Streisand to become the female artist with the most No 1 albums in history.
Taylor’s Version of ‘Speak Now’ moved 716,000 album-equivalent units during its first week, according to Billboard. Swift’s other three albums in the Top 10 are Midnights (2022) at No. 5, Lover (2019) at No. 7 and Folklore (2020) at No. 10.
Previously, Herb Alpert had four albums in the Top 10 with Going Places at No. 2, Whipped Cream & Other Delights at No. 3, South of the Border at No. 9 and The Lonely Bull at No. 10.
The other artist that accomplished this feat was Prince, who after his death, reigned in the Top 10 charts with The Very Best of Prince, the Purple Rain soundtrack, The Hits/The B-Sides, Ultimate and 1999.
