Taylor Swift’s “Midnights” Debuts At Number One

You could have probably guessed that Taylor Swift’s latest album would debut on the Billboard 200 at #1 right?  It’s her 10th No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, and had the biggest week for any album in nearly 7 years. It launched with 1.578 million equivalent album units earned in the U.S. in the week ending October 27th, according to Luminate. The last album to tally a larger week was the debut of Adele’s 25, when it bowed with 3.482 million units (December 12, 2015-dated chart).

Swift now ties Barbra Streisand for the most No. 1 albums among women. She’s also the sixth act with more than 10 No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 since the chart began publishing weekly in 1956.

And that’s not all…she has become the first artist in history to take all 10 of the top 10 slots on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, led by “Anti-Hero” at No. 1.
