Taylor Swift has surely gotten used to seeing her name appear all over albums charts throughout the world. The singer-songwriter regularly occupies several spaces at a time on lists of the most-consumed and bestselling full-lengths in plenty of nations. The star usually owns more spots than anyone else at one time, and her performance in the U.K. this time around is especially laudable.
On the U.K. albums chart—the ranking of the most-consumed projects in that country—Swift claims nine spaces. The tally only includes 100 spots, so that means 9% of all available rungs belong to her.
As if owning 9% of the entire albums chart in one of the largest music markets in the world wasn’t impressive enough, all of Swift’s charting titles are on the rise. Each and every one of the nine full-lengths of the singer’s that appear on the tally this time around climb from where they sat last frame.
Swift is back at No. 1 in the U.K. on that country’s albums ranking with The Tortured Poets Department. Her most recent full-length jumps back into first place for a fourth nonconsecutive turn atop the tally.
Two other projects appear inside the top 20 this week, and both return to that region. Lover lifts to No. 17, while 1989 (Taylor’s Version) sits just one rung lower. Those titles sat just outside the top 20 last frame, and now they’ve advanced four and seven spaces, respectively.
Another trio of popular releases find space inside the top 40 at the moment. Folklore is up from No. 33 to No. 28, Midnights improves from No. 31 to No. 29, and Reputation climbs from No. 37 to No. 31.
Swift’s three other charting titles all sit much closer to the bottom…but none of them were in danger of not finding space on the list this turn. Red (Taylor’s Version) lands at No. 81, the original 1989 is present at No. 85, and Evermore makes a home at No. 86. All three of those titles lived between Nos. 90 and 100 last week, and now they’ve advanced by at least 10 spots.
