Published: Sunday 6th Sep 2020 by Sam

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.
