Heading into the final week of 2023, Taylor Swift has tied Elvis Presley as the solo artist with the most weeks spent at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart.
The Tennessean reports both artists were born elsewhere but established their stratospheric careers in Tennessee. Presley hails from Tupleo, Mississippi, and is synonymous with Memphis. Swift is from Reading, Pennsylvania, and began her country music career in Nashville.
Swift's albums have spent 67 weeks in the No. 1 spot, according to Billboard (about one year, three months and two weeks).
Billboard discerns between solo artists and bands; the all-time record is held by the Beatles with 132 weeks (about two years, six months and two weeks).
Taylor Swift's 2023 "Eras" tour includes concerts May 19, 20 and 21 at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough.
Three of Swift's albums are in the top 10 on the charts going into 2024: "1989 (Taylor's Version)" holds the top spot, "Midnights" is third, and "Lover" is seventh.
The megastar's Eras Tour will kick back off in Tokyo, Japan, on Feb. 7. She is set to perform 86 shows across the globe in 2024.
