The Eras tour has lifted her entire catalogue pushing everybody else far down the chart. In addition, to Speak Now, she has other albums in the top ten of the Billboard 200 album chart. Those are; Midnight (5), Lover(7) and Folklore(10). Taylor Swift has become the first person currently alive to have four albums in the top ten since Herb Alpert in 1966 and Prince who had five after his death in 2016.
Billboard changed the rule of old catalogue albums reappearing on the chart after Michael Jackson’s death in 2009. Taylor decided to remake her first six albums after her old record label was sold without her participation to reclaim her control over her music.
According to Billboard, Taylor Swift is the only artist to claim new number-one albums in each of the last five calendar years: Lover (2019), Folklore and Evermore (2020), Fearless-Taylor’s version and Red-Taylor’s version (2021), Midnights (2022) and currently Speak now.
