Taylor Swift Breaks Another Record

Taylor Swift made history yet again this week…

Swift’s self-titled debut CD, which was released in October 2006, has spent its 157th week on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart. The album has spent more weeks on the chart than any album this decade, surpassing the record previously held by the rock group Nickelback.

Taylor also holds the Billboard record for most Top 10 debuts in a calendar year, and is the only solo female act in the 44-year history of the Billboard Country Chart to score five Top 10 singles from a debut album. Taylor holds the Billboard record for the longest-charting female country star in the Nielsen SoundScan era, and is also the only Country artist in history to have a No. 1 single on Billboard’s Nielsen BDS Hot 100 Airplay chart (which incorporates airplay from all formats).

Also this week, with Big Machine Records’ release of the CD/DVD Fearless Platinum Edition, Taylor locked down five of the Top 10 singles positions on iTunes’ all-genre singles chart, as well as seven of iTunes’ Top 10 Country singles, including the entire Top 6.

Keeping track of all of Taylor’s milestones and records must be quite the task!
