Taylor Swift Is All Set To Break Elvis Presley’s Record
2023 has been a great year for Taylor Swift. The singer has seen a meteoric rise as she accelerated her career with several record-breaking accolades to her name. The singer was recently named the Person of the Year by the prestigious Time Magazine.
Reportedly, Swift also officially made over $1 billion, with her Eras Tour breaking the Guinness World Record for the highest-grossing tour of all time. Now, the singer is all set to break King of Rock and Roll, legendary Elvis Presley’s record as a soloist to hit the most total weeks at number 1 spot on the chart.
Currently, Swift is at number 2 on the Billboard chart, while Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 occupies the spot. However, Swift is expected to surpass Minaj next week to end the year with her name on top of the Billboard 200 charts.
Taylor Swift’s Entire Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 Record
Swift was not in line to finish 2022 without any record-breaking prowess either. The singer has become the first artist in the 64-year-old history of Billboard Hot 100 to have the entire singles from the album Midnights in the top 10.
With that record, according to Billboard, Swift also surpassed Drake and The Beatles “for the most titles from the top of the Hot 100 in a single week.” Drake occupied the number 9 spot with his Certified Lover Boy in 2021, but Swift soon dethroned the rap star from the chart’s top 10.
Swift’s Anti-Hero from Midnights led the chart with 59.7 million streams, 32 million in airplay audience, and 13,500 sales. Vigilante Shit concluded the list in her astounding record. Swift has not tired of the accolades and records after records have made her one of the greatest musicians of recent times. It would be interesting for fans to wait and see what 2024 holds for the singer.
