Rihanna isn’t the only female leader of the digital era to see her name penciled in history books this week (as we reported here).

As critics continue to write this generation’s music off as “microwaveable” and “forgettable,” artists like Rih, Beyonce, Adele, Lana Del Rey, and Taylor Swift have taken turns delivering albums that not only heavily impacted charts during their respective primes but also have exhibited some serious staying power.

While Del Rey made history last year when her LP, ‘Born To Die,’ joined Adele‘s ’21’ as two of the only three female albums in history to have logged over 300 weeks each on the Billboard 200 (Carole King‘s 1971-released ‘Tapestry’ being the third), this week sees Swift become the first female artist in history to see not one, not two, but THREE of her titles reach the 25o week mark on the same tally.
