The craze of Taylor Swift around the world is unmatchable for any other singer. Now it will be even more because she has written history by becoming the first woman with the most number-one albums in the top 10 charts of the US all at once. She has broken the record of Barbara Streisand.

According to a report published in Billboard, Swift remains to capture the market music with her albums when the year's sales of albums in the US have declined over a decade.

Here is all you need to know about the four albums that have helped the singer create history:

‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’

‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’ currently stands at the number one position on the Billboard Top 200. The album was released on July 7, 2023, and it has been breaking all records. Until July 13, 2023, the sales of the album stood at 2.096 million, according to a report in Billboard. It makes up for 3.8% of the total sale of albums (approximately 54.519 million) by all artists.

Telling about the release of the album on May 6, 2023, the singer’s caption on Instagram read, “I first made Speak Now, completely self-written, between the ages of 18 and 20. The songs that came from this time in my life were marked by brutal honesty, unfiltered diaristic confessions, and wild wistfulness.”

She added that she loved this album because it signifies her growth and told the tale of her ‘flailing, flying, crashing… and living to speak about it’.

‘Midnights’

‘Midnights’ was released on October 21, 2022, and it was inspired by Swift’s sleepless nights and taboo subjects like insecurity, anxiety (Techniques To Cope With Anxiety), self-awareness, and self-criticism.

It currently stands at number five on Billboard, but in the past, it opened in the US with over 1.57 million units. By the year's end, it was among the top albums lists of The Guardian, People, Rolling Stone, Variety, USA Today, and more.

‘Lover’

Released on August 23, 2019, the ‘Lover’ album by Swift (Taylor Swift Sends Twitter Into Frenzy) is currently number seven on the Billboard's list. The album was a ‘love letter to love’. It was inspired by the singer’s personal life and signified artistic freedom.

After its release, the album received positive responses from music critics, and people loved that it reflected emotional intimacy. By the end of 2019, the album made it to the lists of The Guardian, People, Q, The Independent, The Music, Rolling Stone, and others.
