Taylor Swift reigns for another week on the Billboard 200 and, in the process, blasts past a major record set by Whitney Houston.
Full story below…
On the latest tally, Swift’s latest LP ‘Folklore’ returns to #1 and registers its 7th non-consecutive week at the top.
Fuelled by 87,000 in sales, the album has earned a number of notable honors.
They include:
- most weeks in pole position list in almost four years.
- most weeks #1 since Drake’s ‘Views’ ruled for 13 nonconsecutive weeks in 2016.
- sees Swift surpass Whitney Houston for the most cumulative weeks at #1 among women.
The latter means Swift has officially strut past Houston’s record of 46 total weeks at #1 on the coveted chart.
Houston managed the feat with four albums, while Swift has done so across seven efforts.
With the career milestone in reaching distance, this week saw Swift add signed copies of the surprise LP to her web-store – as well as merchandise bundles too.

Taylor wish she has a voice like Whitney. She wish she didn’t bomb the cat movie. She wish she can has her own body guard movie. She wish she can F black men like Whitney
🥱🥱Oh give it a rest. We’re tired, you’re tired. Your b** schtick is old. Time to retire ho. 💋💋💁🏼♀️💁🏼♀️🖕🏻🖕🏻
@monTroll you are falling hard.
🥱🥱I might fall, but as my dear Maya Angelou said…Still I Rise. Cry about it. 💋💋🖕🏻🖕🏻💁🏼♀️💁🏼♀️🤣🤣
Oh please, I bet Taylor is quite satisfied with her life. And to be honest, she seems more satisfied and grounded than Whitney has ever been. Whitney has been one of the most talented women out there, but her life has been a mess and she became a Joke. Taylor on the other hand was part of the most horrible movies of the last 20 years, but still came out successful. Just stating the facts, i hate that new Album and her last one, but there seem to be a lot people loving it.
The mayonnaise is strong…unbelievable
Nothing wrong with mayo now and again, sweetie 💋
Folklore is actually a great album so I’m happy for her.I love “this is me trying” and “Betty”.
All y’all jealous your fav was a ratchet hood rat addicted to crack. Ever hear the saying you can put lipstick on a p** but it’s still a p**? If it quacks like a duck and acts like it’s a duck, it’s a duck.
Don’t be mad at Taylor cause she’s true to herself and has a clear head on her shoulders. On other news! Whitneys about 8 years sober today!
That explains your vast collection of lipstick piggy!
B**** there will be no Whitney THE VOICE Houston slander tolerated PERIODT. Nobody gives f*** about this tally when Whitney’s legacy will forever remain strong while Swift has no impact on anything at all…” oh she sells more than your faves” B**** please keep pocket watching as if you’re getting a check. Yet what has her basic ass done iconic, artistically, inspiringly, or groundbreaking as Madonna, Mariah, Barbs, Whitney, Celine, etc. with all those sells? Sells mean nothing without actual impact or longevity -timeless gems.
b**** whitney died of an accidental drowning…..accident
b**** Whitney Houston had way more class than Taylor Swift even on cocaine weed she was not a hoodrat
she was not a slutlike Taylor either the party heard Taylor was a h**
I hope someone disrespects your bald headed mother the way you’re trying to disrespect a legend. Not a thing you said had to do with the charts nor talent. Taylor has a strong fan base but the talent of Bo Peep from Toy Story and that almost too much credit. Get your head out of your ass.
And still not a vocal in sight. Meh
Taylor is the FLAT!
flat ass..
flat vocals..
she’s not the voice and never will be.
And she’s still winning
Why u keep changing ur name ho?? I can’t keep up 😂😂🖕🏻💁🏼♀️🙅🏼♀️💋💋
Yeah thanks to damn streams *eyerolls
I actually purchased Folklore. It’s the only time I’ve purchased any of her music. I love the disc 💚🌲🖤🌲🖤🌲💚.
Well her fan base loves her so… Can’t hate them for actually buying and streaming her s*** mediocre as it may be.
Ok?
Records were meant to be broken. Whitney is still the VOICE, and forever will be. She’s the blueprint. Taylor is…. well she has the sales.
Gowns, beautiful gowns…
Congrats Taylor!!! Whitney is a legend
No need to compare
But Taylor is the current Queen. Of Music industry🥰😍👑🎶
why didn’t you put a younger picture of Whitney Houston up next to Taylor,
It’s so ghetto here.
Can’t see Taylors record being nomen anytime soon!
Whitney is a legend, Taylor is an icon of her generation with nearly 15 years in the game now. Whitney had the voice, Taylor has the pen. Two completely different artists. Both completely talented and influential in their own ways. Folklore is a good album. Congrats Taylor and RIP Whitney, you’re still the voice! ❤️💋
I agree! Shayla you are the one that makes the most sense here
Thank you, I appreciate that! ☺️
agreed! everyone else is just hating but u actually have a point 👏👏👏
Whitney Houston sung for Kings and queens….they didn’t invite Taylor or xtina
