Taylor Swift has demonstrated time and time again that she can sell an album like few in the music industry these days. She reminds the world of this ability every time she releases something new, but her selling power doesn’t stop there. Her albums continue to sell thousands of copies every week for months, and sometimes years, which separates her from all of her competitors.
Forbes reports the superstar’s selling prowess is on full display this week in a very special fashion. Swift claims half of all the spots inside the top 10 on the Top Album Sales chart, Billboard’s ranking of the top-selling titles in the U.S.
Swift ranks highest on the Top Album Sales chart with her newest release, which makes sense, as many fans are just getting around to purchasing a copy. 1989 (Taylor’s Version) has only been on the tally for four weeks, and this time around it dips slightly to No. 3, pushed down by new entrants from Dolly Parton and Enhypen. After a month of availability, the set still sold nearly 64,000 copies, according to Luminate.
Just two spaces further down, Swift begins a winning streak, with four albums appearing in a row. That stretch begins at No. 6 with Folklore. That Album of the Year Grammy winner sold just under 20,000 copies—a huge sum for a record that’s been present on the tally for years now.
Swift’s Midnights comes next at No. 7. Her most recent release of all original material sold 19,100 copies in the past tracking period. Lover lands at No. 8 with 17,800 copies purchased by Swifties across the U.S. Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) rounds out Swift’s five top 10 titles on the Top Album Sales chart this time around. That re-release, which came out in mid-2023, sold another 17,200 copies.
