Taylor Swift stands tall for another week on the Billboard 200 and, in the process, ties a seismic 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 90,000 in sales, the surprise 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.
- ties Whitney Houston for the most cumulative weeks at #1 among women.
As relates to the latter, it means Swift matches Houston’s record of 46 total weeks at #1 on the coveted chart.
While Houston managed the feat with four albums, Swift has done so across seven releases.
With ‘Folklore’ showing no signs of dramatically slowing, will it snatch the record next week? Stay tuned.

The mayonnaise is strong in 2020. Chiiiile. I can’t at this boring chick tying with a legend
They are both legends in their own right, just legends of different eras entirely. Both of these women deserve the respect ❤️
Someone who sang the lyrics “hey, spelling is fun” at the age of 30 is nowhere near the legend status of Whitney Houston. Stahhhp
She do have her weak moments, no one can deny that 😂😂
Unlike Whitney, Taylor wrote, sing, play instruments and produce her record. Whitney on the other hand is a cocaine filled singer who lose her way and misguided by many. May she rest in peace. Y’all just made your fav girl can’t even compete. Pull th facts and let’s go..
The Taylor Swift machine is the product of privilege. Point, blank, period. Any generic white girl with a guitar, blonde hair and a rhyming dictionary can become Taylor Swift with money from a big record label. Whitney Houston was a vocal prodigy, unmatched and inimitable…a singer’s singer, the platinum standard of a woman’s voice.
“Sorry Taylor but Whitney is the best selling female of all time” (Kanye’s voice) 😂🤣😂🤣
The true Queen 👑
