Taylor Swift broke these fabulous records with “Midnights”

Taylor Swift’s album “Midnights” was released on October 21, and since then the neo-country queen has been breaking one chart record after another.

The US trade journal “Billboard”, which traditionally determines single and album charts for the US music industry, draws a first jubilant balance sheet just ten days after publication.

Let’s take a quick look back: Swift announced the record at the “MTV Video Music Awards” on August 28, 2022. Nothing leaked out until October 21st, when the first music video for “Midnights” went on rotation at the same time as the first single “Anti-Hero”.

Midnights is their tenth studio album. Three hours after the initial release, Swift also released a deluxe version of the album (dubbed the “3am Edition”) with seven additional bonus tracks.

Countless records for Taylor Swift

Billboard archivists found that Swift has now tied with Barbra Streisand for the most No. 1 albums in the US among female musicians. She is also the sixth artist with more than ten #1 albums on the Billboard Hot 200, a regular weekly chart since 1956. Swift is catching up with his male colleagues. About the Beatles, who are at the top with 19 No. 1 albums. Also ahead of her: Jay-Z (14), Drake, Bruce Springsteen and Streisand (11 each).

Midnights is already the best-selling album of the year by total sales and has the most dynamic album sales week since Reputation came out in 2017. It also has the third-biggest streaming week for an album ever and the biggest sales week for a vinyl album in modern times, since the statistics company “Luminate” started recording different format sales in 1991.

Also new and hot in the top 10 of the new Billboard 200 list: “Car” by the Arctic Monkeys and up-and-coming rapper YoungBoy with “Never Broke Again”….
