Taylor Swift's Surprise Album Reaches A Momentous Landmark
Taylor Swift's Folklore hits 250 weeks on the Official Albums chart in the U.K., making it her third ... More project to reach the milestone. SINGAPORE, SINGAPORE - MARCH 02: EDITORIAL USE ONLY. NO BOOK COVERS Taylor Swift performs during "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at the National Stadium on March 02, 2024 in Singapore. (Photo by Ashok Kumar/TAS24/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management) Even a quiet week on the charts for Taylor Swift still sees half a dozen of her albums occupying space on some of the most competitive rankings in the United Kingdom. The singer-songwriter isn't promoting anything at the moment, and lately, she has remained fairly out of the spotlight — at least as out of the spotlight as Swift can manage. Her catalog remains so popular that she continues to control a sizable number of positions on several rankings with ease. Her full-lengths perform best, as millions of people continue to buy and stream the music that made her a superstar, and some of her most beloved collections manage to remain on album consumption lists for years at a time. It may be a particularly quiet frame for Swift, but it's a special one for her album Folklore. As of this frame, Folklore has spent 250 weeks on the Official Albums chart. As it reaches that milestone, it climbs two spots to No. 53. That's a fairly low position, considering it's currently the singer's second-highest rising title on the tally. Folklore is Swift's third release to spend 250 weeks on the Official Albums chart, which ranks the most consumed full-lengths and EPs in the U.K. The tally blends both sales and streaming data to reflect what listeners are truly enjoying. The surprise release follows in the wake of 1989 and Lover. The former remains Swift's longest-charting success, with 373 frames on the ranking, while Lover has collected 281. It's likely that Swift's next title to reach the 250-week milestone will be Reputation, which is now up to 216 frames somewhere on the roster. Folklore also reaches 250 weeks on the Official Albums Streaming chart, where it sits directly in the middle of the 100-spot roster, at No. 50. At the same time, it appears on the Official Physical Albums ranking, though only just barely. It comes in at No. 98 on the list of the bestselling titles across formats like CD, cassette, and vinyl. Folklore still needs a few more months before it reaches the 250-frame landmark on that ranking.

Taylor Swift Charts A New No. 1 Hit
Taylor Swift and Post Malone's 'Fortnight' returns to U.K. charts and debuts at No. 1 on the ... More Official Vinyl Singles chart thanks to a Record Store Day release. HAMBURG, GERMANY - JULY 23: (EDITORIAL USE ONLY. NO STANDALONE PUBLICATION USE (NO SPECIAL INTEREST OR SINGLE ARTIST PUBLICATION USE; NO BOOK USE)) Taylor Swift performs onstage during "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at Volksparkstadion on July 23, 2024 in Hamburg, Germany. (Photo by Gregor Fischer/TAS24/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management ) Taylor Swift earns another chart-topper in the United Kingdom this week — but this time, the tune isn't brand new. Thanks to a special re-release, 'Fortnight,' her collaboration with Post Malone, opens at No. 1 on a chart it had never even appeared on before. The relaunch doesn't only adds another win to her impressive tally, it also gives her duet partner a very special leader. 'Fortnight' returns to three charts in the U.K., and it's a big winner on all of them. The track reappears on top of both the Official Singles Sales and Official Physical Singles lists, reclaiming the top spot on the two. It also enters the Official Vinyl Singles ranking for the first time, where it also hits No. 1 – but in this case, for the first time. The renewed success is thanks to the song's recent release on vinyl, which helped spark a new wave of purchases among fans. Swift's audience has a long-standing reputation for buying whatever she releases—and buying it in bulk—and that's especially true when it comes to vinyl, a format that continues to thrive in part because of her efforts. The cut's arrival at No. 1 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart marks another victory for the pop icon, who claims her third ruler on the ranking. Previously, she reached the summit with 'Teardrops on My Guitar' back in 2019 and again with 'The Lakes,' a song featured on the deluxe edition of Folklore. Including her trio of No. 1s, Swift has now placed half a dozen tracks inside the top 10 on the Official Vinyl Singles chart. Both 'Picture to Burn' and 'Our Song' climbed as high as No. 4, while 'Tim McGraw' — one of her earliest releases — came in just behind them at No. 5. Among her charting vinyl efforts, only one has failed to crack the top 10. 'Should've Said No' peaked at No. 23, though it did manage to spend more than a week on the roster — something not all of her titles can claim. While Swift is fairly used to dominating the vinyl-specific ranking in the U.K,, the same can't be said for Malone. 'Fortnight' marks the rapper/singer's first No. 1 on the Official Vinyl Singles list in the country. In addition to its strong start on the vinyl list, 'Fortnight' also returns to the peak position on two other U.K. rankings: the Official Singles Sales and Official Physical Singles charts. The track previously climbed to No. 1 on both tallies back in May 2024, and now it's back almost a year later. So far, 'Fortnight' has spent 18 weeks on the list of the best-selling songs in the U.K. and just two frames on the physical-specific tally. 'Fortnight' was issued on a seven-inch white vinyl single for Record Store Day 2025, and it quickly became a must-have for collectors, especially in the U.K. Side A of the limited edition includes the original version of 'Fortnight,' while side B features a remix by Blond:ish. That cut had already been released digitally, but never on vinyl.

Taylor Swift On The Albums Chart: It's A Mixed Bag, Save For Two Fan Favorites
Taylor Swift charts six albums in the U.K. this week, with The Tortured Poets Department and 1989 ... More (Taylor's Version) climbing across four major tallies. GELSENKIRCHEN, GERMANY - JULY 17: EDITORIAL USE ONLY. NO BOOK COVERS. Taylor Swift performs onstage during "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at Veltins Arena on July 17, 2024 in Gelsenkirchen, Germany. (Photo by Andreas Rentz/TAS24/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management ) As is so often the case, Taylor Swift is once again dominating several United Kingdom-based album rankings. Half a dozen of her collections appear on this week's Official Albums chart, and that's just one of the tallies where her music is heard. While some of her sets are slipping, others are holding strong, or even climbing. It's a mixed bag for Swift this time around, but when looking across the board, two titles clearly stand out. Of all Swift's titles currently performing well across the pond, The Tortured Poets Department is the clear winner. The title appears on four different rankings in the U.K., and it's on the rise across every one of them. This frame, the lengthy project climbs to No. 24 on both the Official Albums and Official Albums Streaming charts — quite the coincidental alignment. The Tortured Poets Department also improves its standing on the Official Albums Sales and Official Physical Albums rankings at the same time. It's not shocking that TTPD is Swift's highest-rising win at the moment, but that it's growing in every respect is notable, since it is now a year old. 1989 (Taylor's Version) is enjoying a similar bump in performance, even if it's not quite matching Swift's newer release in terms of placement. The re-recorded effort doesn't sit nearly as high as The Tortured Poets Department, which makes sense given that it's not brand new — and that it's a fresh take on a set that was already a global smash nearly a decade ago. The album is moving up on the same four tallies as The Tortured Poets Department, though by smaller gains. On the Official Albums Streaming chart, it jumps five spaces to No. 62. It's not far behind that on the main Official Albums ranking, where it improves to No. 65. The rest of Swift's albums on the U.K. charts this week are performing a bit more erratically. Folklore sees one of the more interesting shifts, as it rises on one tally while falling on another. The Grammy-winning set also returns to a pair of rosters it had previously dropped off of not long ago. Meanwhile, Lover, Reputation, and Midnights are all experiencing some version of an up-and-down. The sets gain and fall, depending on the tally, but streaming appears to be largely keeping these titles afloat, while sales and more general consumption may be down.

Taylor Swift Matches Kendrick Lamar As Two Classics Become Bestsellers Again
Taylor Swift claims three spots on Billboard's Top Album Sales chart with Folklore, The Tortured ... More Poets Department, and 1989 (Taylor's Version), all gaining ground. LONDON, ENGLAND - AUGUST 15: EDITORIAL USE ONLY. NO BOOK COVERS. Taylor Swift performs onstage during "Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour" at Wembley Stadium on August 15, 2024 in London, England. (Photo by Gareth Cattermole/TAS24/Getty Images for TAS Rights Management ) For Taylor Swift, a week with three albums inside the top 50 on a major Billboard chart almost feels quiet. The singer-songwriter has spent the past several years not just dominating the music rankings in the U.S. and abroad, but essentially rewriting what commercial success looks like for a solo artist in the modern age. Even without anything new to push, she still manages a feat that would be monumental for just about any other act. This week, Swift fills three spots on the Top Album Sales chart, which is no small accomplishment for most acts. In fact, for the majority of stars, that would represent a career-best frame. For Swift, it's simply another solid week…even a comparatively tame one. Swift makes her music heard on the Top Album Sales tally this week. Three of her collections rank among the bestselling titles in the U.S., as two older efforts rebound and one refuses to leave the list entirely. Folklore, the one that holds on, bolts from No. 39 to No. 26. It only returned to the ranking last week, and now it soars more than 10 spaces north. Joining Folklore on the tally are both The Tortured Poets Department and 1989 (Taylor's Version). Swift's latest full-length, The Tortured Poets Department, makes its comeback at No. 39, while the re-recorded version of her 2014 pop blockbuster settles in at No. 50. While Swift's current performance on the Top Album Sales chart might seem quieter than usual, all three titles are growing in popularity. Folklore sold 3,300 copies in the U.S. during the latest tracking span, up 17% from the previous week (per Luminate). The Tortured Poets Department follows with 2,600 sold, representing a 15% jump. Even 1989 (Taylor's Version) sees improvement, rising 13.5% to 2,400 copies sold. That's a healthy increase from the 2,100 it managed just one frame ago. With three entries on the Top Album Sales chart, Swift ties Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, the Creator for the most spots held by any act this week. Both of those hip-hop powerhouses also occupy three spaces apiece, meaning the pop and country star isn't alone, though she is the only one who does so with re-entries and catalog titles. In total, 10 different Swift releases appear on at least one Billboard chart this frame. That list includes Lover, Midnights, Reputation, Red (Taylor's Version), and Evermore, all of which find a home on the Billboard 200. Meanwhile, Speak Now (Taylor's Version) and Fearless (Taylor's Version) continue to find space on the Top Country Albums list.
