The Billboard 200 is the definitive all-genre chart for album sales in the US.
Only 10 artists in Billboard history have topped the chart at least 10 different times.
The Beatles have the most No. 1 albums with 19. Taylor Swift and Drake are tied for second place.
The Billboard 200 has tracked the best-selling albums in the US for decades.
It's a major accomplishment to top the chart, especially when an artist manages the feat with multiple different albums.
Only a handful of artists have crossed into double-digit No. 1s, including modern superstars like Taylor Swift, Drake, Jay-Z, and Future. They're listed below in ascending order.
Editor's note: Although Elvis Presley is often credited with 10 No. 1 albums, a Billboard representative told Business Insider that most of his biggest releases predate the modern Billboard 200 chart, which launched in 1963.
Madonna — 10

Madonna is also the first artist with a No. 1 album in the 2020s to have already topped the chart in three other decades: twice in the 2010s ("Madame X" and "MDNA"), four times in the 2000s ("Hard Candy," "Confessions on a Dance Floor," "American Life," and "Music"), and thrice in the 1980s ("Like a Prayer," "True Blue," and "Like a Virgin").
Bruce Springsteen — 11

Bruce Springsteen's 11 chart-topping albums span over three decades, from 1980's "The River" to 2014's "High Hopes" — even though Springsteen has yet to score a No. 1 hit song on the Billboard Hot 100.
Barbra Streisand — 11

Barbra Streisand logged her first No. 1 entry on the Billboard 200 with "People" in 1964.
Fifty-one years later, she set a record for the longest span between No. 1s when "Encore: Movie Partners Sing Broadway," her 2016 studio album, topped the chart.
Streisand previously held the record for the most No. 1 albums among female artists until Taylor Swift broke it in 2023.
Kanye West — 11

Ye, who still releases music under the name Kanye West, topped the Billboard 200 for the first time in 2005 with "Late Registration."
He logged his 11th consecutive No. 1 album in 2024 with "Vultures 1," a collaborative effort with Ty Dolla $ign.
Eminem — 11

When it was released in 2000, Eminem's "The Marshall Mathers LP" sold over 1 million copies in its first week, easily earning a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200.
Two decades later, "Music to Be Murdered By" debuted at No. 1, becoming Eminem's historic 10th chart-topper. He logged his 11th in 2024 with "The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce)."
Future — 11

Future earned his first No. 1 album in 2015 with "DS2," which has since spent over 300 weeks on the Billboard 200.
In 2024, Future's "Mixtape Pluto" debuted atop the chart — his third No. 1 album in just six months and 11th overall.
Earlier that year, Future topped the chart with "We Don't Trust You" and "We Still Don't Trust You," collaborative efforts with Metro Boomin. The former is widely known for reigniting a feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar.
Jay-Z — 14

Jay-Z began collecting No. 1s in 1998 with his third studio album, "Vol. 2... Hard Knock Life." In 2017, he extended his total to 14 with his latest effort, "4:44."
Drake's grand total also includes one mixtape ("Care Package"), three collaborative albums ("What A Time To Be Alive" with Future, "Her Loss" with 21 Savage, and "$ome $exy $ongs 4 U" with PartyNextDoor), and one project mysteriously billed as a playlist ("More Life").
Taylor Swift — 15

Only one of Taylor Swift's albums hasn't topped the chart: her self-titled debut, which peaked at No. 5 in 2008.
Swift earned her first No. 1 later that same year with "Fearless," which has since been ranked the fourth-biggest album in Billboard 200 history. In the 2020s, Swift rerecorded four of her old albums and rebranded each new release as "Taylor's Version." All four of those topped the chart, too.
Most recently, 2025's "The Life of a Showgirl" launched atop the chart with the biggest sales week in history, breaking Adele's record. It became her 15th No. 1 album, extending her record for the most among women. She is tied for the most among solo artists.
Swift has also broken Elvis Presley's record for the most cumulative weeks spent at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 for a solo artist.
The Beatles — 19
The Beatles gave their final performance together in 1969.

The Beatles hold both records for the most No. 1 songs on the Hot 100 and the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200. The latter group includes classics like "Revolver" (1966), "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" (1967), "Abbey Road" (1969), and their post-band breakup compilation "1" (2000).
As a solo musician, Paul McCartney has topped the Billboard 200 eight more times, while John Lennon managed the feat three times before he died in 1980.
Since March, the music icon has been photographed at awards shows, walking around New York City, and sitting in suites at Arrowhead Stadium — in support of her husband, Travis Kelce, of course.
Naturally, she's worn statement outfits for each occasion. Designer jackets, expensive jewelry, and luxury handbags remain her signatures.
Some of her recent looks are the epitome of her effortless street style, while others haven't made much sense. Here's how we'd rank what she's worn this year, from worst to best.
Taylor Swift brought back peplum tops in May, but she probably shouldn't have.

She was photographed in New York City wearing a $1,190 white button-up blouse from Stella McCartney, $1,350 The Row trousers, sandals from the same brand, and a black leather belt.
The bottom half of the outfit was chic, but her top looked too formal, making the outfit feel corporate.
The outfit she wore to a Chiefs game in September wasn't memorable.

Swift was spotted on September 20 standing in a suite at Arrowhead Stadium with her mom and mother-in-law.
She kept her outfit simple that day: denim bottoms, a black leather belt, and a $40 Chiefs tank top from Wear by Erin Andrews.
There was nothing really wrong with the outfit; the musician looked cute and comfortable. Still, it was so simple that most fans probably won't remember it next season.
The same could be said for the checkered dress she wore a few days earlier.

At another Chiefs game, Swift wore a $295 checkered dress from Guest in Residence.
It was a sweet, festive choice for the occasion, especially when paired with her signature red lipstick.
At the same time, though, the pattern made the dress resemble a picnic tablecloth, which wasn't ideal.
One tweak could have saved Swift's 2026 MTV Video Music Awards look.

She arrived on the blue carpet wearing a couture gown from Tamara Ralph. It had a halter neckline, a black velvet bodice with a mesh back, and a sparkling silver skirt that wrapped around her hips and reached the floor.
From the front, Swift looked powerful and stylish.
Unfortunately, the thick, lace-up feature on the back of the dress made it look less elegant.
She chose elevated basics for an NBA playoff game, though they weren't super memorable.

Swift and Kelce were sitting courtside when the Knicks played the Cavaliers in the NBA Eastern Conference Finals.
Both wore denim outfits for the game, though Swift's look was undoubtedly flashier. She paired $790 Stella McCartney jeans with a black denim jacket and a chain-embellished tank top from the designer.
Swift also sported a Dior purse, Stella McCartney sandals, and an assortment of gold jewelry — including her massive engagement ring.
The outfit was fun, but also simple and a little forgettable.
Swift was ready for fall when she made a surprise appearance on "Saturday Night Live" in October.

She took the stage alongside her friend, Dakota Johnson, wearing a $595 Simkhai brown plaid minidress. Swift also wore a $1,500 Yves Saint Laurent chain belt, a gold Cartier bracelet, Burberry boots, and hoop earrings.
The outfit didn't make for her flashiest fashion moment, but it was cute and understated.
She embraced her girl-next-door vibe for a New York City outing in June.

Photographers captured Swift wearing a $295 Guest in Residence polo top, light-wash denim jeans, Gucci sandals, a matching leather belt, and an assortment of gold jewelry.
She also carried the large Chloé Penelope bag.
It was one of Swift's most cohesive looks so far this year.

Wiederhoeft designed the ensemble, which was sleeveless and decorated with silver sparkles.
Swift wore it with $36,000 Dena Kemp earrings and Jimmy Choo sandals. The assortment of rings and bracelets she wore also retailed for $36,000.
Swift looked pretty, and her outfit was solid. It wasn't her best look of the year, but it was far from her worst.
Swift's street style reemerged in April, and it was strong from the start.

On one New York City outing, Swift paired a blue-and-white striped Staud dress with $1,195 Christian Louboutin sandals and a yellow mini Lady Dior bag.
The outfit was fun and perfect for summer. The mix of diamond and opal jewelry she wore with it only added to the look.
Her date-night style this year has been feminine and flowing.

Just look at the floral Doen dress she wore for a night out with Kelce in May. The off-the-shoulder design had puffed sleeves, a semi-sheer skirt, and a ruffled neckline.
The dress was cute on its own, but it looked even better with Swift's choice of accessories: $920 Aquazzura sandals, gold jewelry, and a small raffia bag.
Swift proved that you can't go wrong with a classic black-and-white outfit.

On a different night in New York City, Swift was photographed wearing a white Retrofête minidress. The simple garment had a high neckline, long sleeves, and a short pleated skirt.
On its own, the dress might not have stood out on Swift. However, she accessorized to perfection.
She contrasted the garment with a slouchy black Dior purse, Gucci slingback heels, and a ponytail.
Even as a wedding guest, Swift sparkled.

Swift and Kelce attended a wedding in New York City in May and were photographed outside the event.
While Kelce sported a black Essentials suit with subtle pinstripes, Swift glowed beside him in a shimmering Maria Lucia Hohan gown.
The sleeveless design had waist cutouts, all-over ruching, and thin straps.
It looked stunning on Swift, who wore it with gold Aquazzura sandals and opal jewelry that previously belonged to Elizabeth Taylor (whom Swift name-checked on her latest album).

Swift sat courtside with Mariska Hargitay, the Haim sisters, and other Knicks fans who cheered their way through Game 4.
Her outfit for the night was perfectly on brand. Made by Alana Haim, Swift's blue T-shirt had "Stevie Knicks" printed in orange across the chest.
The shirt was festive and fun, nodding to Swift's love for both the sports team and the iconic musician. She wore it with Area jeans and chain-adorned sandal heels.
She looked glamorous in a black floral gown at the Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction.

Swift became the youngest woman inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in June.
She wore a custom Givenchy gown for the occasion. It was black, strapless, and corseted at the bodice, which connected to a floor-length skirt with a thigh-high slit.
It was a memorable look for an equally memorable night.
The pop star looked more like a princess at the "Toy Story 5" premiere.

Swift arrived on the red carpet wearing a patchwork minidress from Erdem.
It had a corset bodice, off-the-shoulder sleeves, exaggerated pockets, and a raw hemline.
The dress was playful, fashion-forward, and the perfect choice for a movie premiere.

With 15 nonconsecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, "Showgirl" has surpassed "Fearless" and "1989" as Swift's second-longest reign on the all-genre album chart.
The impressive tally comes shortly after Swift set a personal-best chart record with "The Tortured Poets Department." Keep reading for a ranking of her 16 studio albums (including both originals and rerecords) based on their Billboard 200 performances.
10. "Taylor Swift"
Taylor Swift's debut album, "Taylor Swift," was released in 2006.
Taylor Swift
Billboard 200 peak: No. 5
Swift's self-titled debut is the only studio album in her catalog that hasn't reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
"Taylor Swift" debuted at No. 19 and scaled the chart for more than a year, peaking at No. 5 in 2008.
9 (tie). "Lover"
Taylor Swift's seventh album, "Lover," was released in 2019.
Taylor Swift
Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for one week
Swift's seventh studio album was the first one that she owned outright, thanks to her new label contract with UMG.
"Lover" was promoted by several singles, including "You Need to Calm Down," "The Archer," and "The Man."
Four years later, after Swift kicked off the Eras Tour with "Cruel Summer" near the top of the set list, the fan-favorite song climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remained there for four weeks, becoming the album's biggest hit.
9 (tie). "Red (Taylor's Version)"
The cover art for "Red (Taylor's Version)" was photographed by Beth Garrabrant.
"All Too Well (10 Minute Version)" was released alongside a short film directed by Swift and promoted by a convention-breaking performance on "Saturday Night Live." It became the longest song to reach No. 1 in the history of the Hot 100.
8 (tie). "Fearless (Taylor's Version)"
"Fearless (Taylor's Version)" was released in 2021.
Taylor Swift/UMG
Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for two weeks
"Fearless" was the first rerecorded album that Swift ever released.
The "Taylor's Version" series was inspired by the sale of Swift's masters to Scooter Braun in 2019, which she described as her "worst case scenario" in a passionate open letter. Swift decided to remake and rerelease her first six albums in a bid to reclaim ownership of her life's work. Braun later sold Swift's masters to a private equity firm.
"I've spoken a lot about why I'm remaking my first six albums, but the way I've chosen to do this will hopefully help illuminate where I'm coming from," Swift explained. "Artists should own their own work for so many reasons, but the most screamingly obvious one is that the artist is the only one who really knows that body of work."
"For example, only I know which songs I wrote that almost made the 'Fearless' album," she continued. "Songs I absolutely adored, but were held back for different reasons."
Those skeptics were forced to eat their words when "Fearless (Taylor's Version)" began to outpace the original on streaming platforms. According to Billboard, "Fearless (Taylor's Version)" earned more equivalent album sales in its first week of release than "Fearless" earned over the entire next year.
Four years later, in May 2025, Swift announced that she bought back her masters from Shamrock Capital, giving her complete control over her musical catalog and rendering her "Taylor's Version" project moot.
8 (tie). "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)"
"Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" was released in 2023.
Taylor Swift/UMG
Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for two weeks
The rerecorded version of Swift's third album featured six songs from the vault, including two duets with Fall Out Boy and Hayley Williams.
7 (tie). "Reputation"

Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for four weeks
"Reputation" arrived after an extended period of silence. Swift's longtime feud with Kim Kardashian and Ye (then known as Kanye West) had reached a fever pitch; in response to a massive social media hate campaign, Swift decamped to London and withdrew from the public eye.
She returned with a new snake-infested aesthetic and "Look What You Made Me Do," a cheeky lead single that poked fun at her own persona — and quickly rose to No. 1 on the Hot 100.
Swift also declined to participate in interviews or media appearances while promoting her sixth album. Instead, she relied on a simple tagline: "There will be no further explanation. There will just be reputation."
7 (tie). "Evermore"
Taylor Swift's ninth album, "Evermore," was released in 2020.
Taylor Swift
Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for four weeks
"Evermore" was surprise-released just five months after Swift's previous album, "Folklore." The two were billed as "sister albums," created under near-identical conditions with the same team of collaborators.
"To put it plainly, we just couldn't stop writing songs," Swift explained on social media.
"Evermore" was nominated for album of the year at the 2022 Grammys, but lost to Jon Batiste's "We Are."
6 (tie). "Speak Now"
Taylor Swift's third album, "Speak Now," was released in 2010.
Taylor Swift
Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for six weeks
Swift's third album had a lot to live up to, following the blockbuster success of "Fearless."
In response to skeptics — who questioned whether the teen phenom was relying too heavily on her collaborators — she decided to write "Speak Now" entirely by herself. Swift is the only songwriter credited on the standard tracklist.
6 (tie). "Midnights"
Taylor Swift's 10th album, "Midnights," was released in 2022.
Taylor Swift
Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for six weeks
Swift's 10th studio album sold over 1 million copies in its debut week, the first to cross that seven-figure threshold since Swift's own "Reputation." (She has now achieved the feat on eight different occasions.)
"Midnights" also won album of the year at the Grammys, joining "Fearless," "1989," and "Folklore" in the prestigious group of victors. Swift is the only artist in history to win album of the year four times.
6 (tie). "1989 (Taylor's Version)"
"1989 (Taylor's Version)" will be released on October 27, 2023.
Taylor Swift
Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for six weeks
The rerecorded version of "1989" was released nine years after the original album. Swift added five vault tracks, including the fan-favorite song "Is It Over Now?"
5. "Red"
Taylor Swift's fourth album, "Red," was released in 2012.
Taylor Swift
Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for seven weeks
"Red" is Swift's fourth studio album. It featured a mishmash of Max Martin-produced pop bangers, including "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" and "I Knew You Were Trouble," as well as country-rock breakup anthems such as "State of Grace" and "Holy Ground."
4. "Folklore"
Taylor Swift's new album cover and additional promo photos were taken by Beth Garrabrant.
The pandemic-era album was co-produced by Swift, Jack Antonoff, and Aaron Dessner of The National. It received rave reviews from critics and is widely considered Swift's best work to date.
3 (tie). "Fearless"
Taylor Swift's sophomore album, "Fearless," was released in 2008.
Swift's fifth album marked her official pivot from country to pop music, a move that Swift said she had to "really fight — and I mean aggressively fight — to have happen."
In addition to its double-digit streak atop the Billboard 200, "1989" yielded three No. 1 songs on the Hot 100: "Shake It Off," "Blank Space," and "Bad Blood" featuring Kendrick Lamar.
2. "The Life of a Showgirl"
Taylor Swift's 12th album, "The Life of a Showgirl," was released on October 3, 2025.
TAS Rights Management
Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for 15 weeks
Cowritten and co-produced with Max Martin and Shellback, "The Life of a Showgirl" was described by Swift as a snapshot of "everything that was going on behind the curtain" during the Eras Tour.
After its initial three-month run atop the Billboard 200, "The Life of a Showgirl" returned to No. 1 in October 2026 when Swift released the deluxe edition, dubbed "The Encore."
The album's reign at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 brought Swift's total sum atop the chart to 101 weeks, extending her record among solo artists.
Since the Billboard 200 was launched in 1956, only The Beatles have logged more weeks at No. 1 than Swift. The band holds the all-time record with 132 weeks.
1. "The Tortured Poets Department"
Taylor Swift's 11th album, "The Tortured Poets Department," was released in 2024.
Taylor Swift
Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 for 17 weeks
Swift's 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," did not leave the No. 1 slot for 12 straight weeks after its debut in April 2024, fending off new releases from stars like Dua Lipa, Billie Eilish, and Zach Bryan.
The uninterrupted reign of "Poets" was rare for a streaming-era release. It became the first album ever by a female artist to spend its first 12 weeks atop the chart, surpassing a record previously held by Whitney Houston's 1987 blockbuster "Whitney." (The all-time record for a consecutive streak among women is held by Carole King's "Tapestry," which spent 15 weeks at No. 1 in 1971.)
Swift briefly yielded the top spot to Eminem and Stray Kids before "Poets" notched 13th, 14th, and 15th consecutive weeks atop the chart.
The album eventually fell to lower positions, but then in December of that same year, it returned for two more weeks at No. 1 after Swift released physical versions of the album's deluxe version, "The Anthology," for Black Friday.

Taylor Swift's newest single, "Patient Zero," debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Swift has the fourth-most No. 1 hits in history, trailing Elvis, Mariah Carey, and The Beatles.
Swift's biggest hits also include "Blank Space," "Anti-Hero," and "The Fate of Ophelia."
Since releasing her first No. 1 album in 2008, Taylor Swift has enjoyed a historic run on the charts, topping the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100 over a dozen times each.
Swift's collection of chart-toppers includes both radio-friendly pop singles and understated gems pushed to the top of the chart by passionate fans.
Most recently, "Patient Zero" joined the ranks of Swift's biggest songs. On the all-time ranking of most No. 1 hits, Swift only trails Elvis, Mariah Carey, and The Beatles.
All of Swift's No. 1 songs on the Hot 100 are listed below in chronological order of their peak dates.
1. "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together"
"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" was released as a single in 2012.

Weeks at No. 1: Three
Despite writing ubiquitous hits like "You Belong With Me" and "Love Story" earlier in her career (which peaked at No. 2 and No. 4, respectively), "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" was Swift's first-ever song to top the Hot 100.
The country-pop crossover smash was released as the lead single from Swift's fourth album, "Red." It rose from No. 72 to No. 1 in its second week of tracking and remained atop the chart for two more weeks.
2. "Shake It Off"
"Shake It Off" was released as a single in 2014.
Taylor Swift/YouTube
Weeks at No. 1: Four
"Shake It Off" was released as the lead single from Swift's fifth album, "1989." It became her first No. 1 debut on the Hot 100.
3. "Blank Space"
"Blank Space" was released as a single in 2014.
Taylor Swift/YouTube
Weeks at No. 1: Seven
"Blank Space," the second single from "1989," debuted at No. 18 on the Hot 100.
It rose to No. 13 before soaring to No. 1 in its third week — dethroning "Shake It Off" and making Swift the first woman in history to replace herself in the chart's top spot.
"Blank Space" went on to become one of Swift's biggest hits, reigning atop the chart for nearly two months.
It rose from No. 53 to the chart's top spot after the music video premiered at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards and broke the Vevo record for most views in 24 hours.
5. "Look What You Made Me Do"
Taylor Swift/YouTube
Weeks at No. 1: Three
Despite mixed reactions from critics, Swift's lead single from "Reputation" rose to No. 1 after its first full week of tracking, breaking the weekly streaming record for a song by a woman.
Once again, Swift's music video broke the record for most views within 24 hours, racking up 43.2 million views in its first day.
6. "Cardigan"
Taylor Swift/YouTube
Weeks at No. 1: One
Swift announced the arrival of her eighth album, "Folklore," just one day in advance. The second track, "Cardigan," was released alongside the album and promoted with a whimsical music video.
"Folklore" debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 while "Cardigan" simultaneously debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, making Swift the first artist in history to open atop both charts in the same week.
7. "Willow"
Taylor Swift/YouTube
Weeks at No. 1: One
Just five months after "Folklore," Swift repeated her pandemic-era strategy and surprise-released her ninth album, "Evermore," alongside its lead single.
Again, "Willow" debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 while "Evermore" simultaneously debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
8. "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)"
Taylor Swift/YouTube
Weeks at No. 1: One
"Red (Taylor's Version)" was the second rerecorded album Swift released. It was accompanied by the long-awaited 10-minute version of "All Too Well," a fan-favorite track from the original album.
"All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)" was promoted with a self-directed short film starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien, a convention-breaking performance on "Saturday Night Live," and plenty of theories about the song's muse.
It debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, becoming the longest song in history to top the chart. The record was previously held by Don McLean's "American Pie (Parts I & II)" at 8 minutes and 37 seconds.
It dominated the Hot 100 for eight weeks, surpassing the high-water mark set by "Blank Space."
The same week that "Anti-Hero" debuted at No. 1, Swift became the first and only artist in history to occupy the entire top 10 on the Hot 100. The hit single was flanked by "Lavender Haze" (No. 2), "Maroon" (No. 3), "Snow on the Beach" (No. 4), "Midnight Rain" (No. 5), "Bejeweled" (No. 6), "Question...?" (No. 7), "You're On Your Own, Kid" (No. 8), "Karma" (No. 9), and "Vigilante Shit" (No. 10).
10. "Cruel Summer"

Weeks at No. 1: Four
"Cruel Summer" was originally released as the second track on Swift's 2019 album "Lover."
Although it was identified early as a fan favorite, the song was never promoted as a single and debuted modestly at No. 29 on the Hot 100.
Four years later, Swift transformed "Cruel Summer" into a showstopping spectacle on the Eras Tour. Streams of the song began to surge, and it reigned atop Billboard's Pop Airplay chart for two months. Swift's label sent the song to pop radio in June 2023.
Finally, following the release of "The Cruelest Summer" EP — which includes a live version of the song and a remix by LP Giobbi — the song reached No. 1 on the Hot 100, marking Swift's milestone 10th chart-topper.
11. "Is It Over Now?"

Weeks at No. 1: One
"Is It Over Now?" was released as the final vault track on "1989 (Taylor's Version)," a rerecording of her beloved fifth album.
Although it wasn't initially slated as a single, its enthusiastic reception from fans pushed Swift's team to serve the song to pop radio.
"Is It Over Now?" debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, dethroning "Cruel Summer." Swift remains the only woman in history to replace herself in the top spot, a feat she's now achieved twice.
12. "Fortnight" featuring Post Malone

"Fortnight," a duet with Post Malone, was released alongside "The Tortured Poets Department" and promoted as the album's lead single.
The song debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 while "Poets" simultaneously debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
For the second time in her career, Swift managed to occupy the entire top 10 of the Hot 100. In fact, the top 14 positions on the chart were occupied by "Poets" tracks, including "Down Bad" (No. 2) and "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" (No. 3), all the way through to "The Smallest Man Who Ever Lived" (No. 14).
"Fortnight" returned to No. 1 on the Hot 100 for a second consecutive week.
13. "The Fate of Ophelia"

Weeks at No. 1: 10
"The Fate of Ophelia" was released alongside Swift's 12th studio album, "The Life of a Showgirl," and promoted as the lead single.
The Shakespeare-inspired pop song debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, while "Showgirl" simultaneously debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
All 12 tracks on the album debuted within the Hot 100's top 12 spots, making Swift the first and only artist to dominate the chart's entire top 10 on three separate occasions. "The Fate of Ophelia" was joined in the top five by "Opalite" (No. 2), "Elizabeth Taylor" (No. 3), "Father Figure" (No. 4), and "Wood" (No. 5).
"The Fate of Ophelia" remained atop the Hot 100 for eight straight weeks after its release. After falling to lower positions during the holiday season, it returned to No. 1 in early 2026, surpassing "Anti-Hero" as Swift's longest-leading hit to date and becoming her first to top the chart for double-digit weeks.
14. "Opalite"

Weeks at No. 1: One
"Opalite" was originally released as the third track on "The Life of a Showgirl" and debuted at No. 2 on the Hot 100.
It was later promoted as the album's second single, rising to No. 1 after Swift sold vinyl copies of the song. She also released a music video co-starring Domhnall Gleeson, which premiered exclusively on Spotify and Apple Music in a savvy move to boost streaming numbers.
Swift celebrated her latest chart achievement on Instagram, thanking fans for their support of the song.
"This is actually the first time I've had two Hot 100 #1s off of one album since my album 1989 came out in 2014, nearly twelve years ago!" Swift wrote. "I know that's a lot of numbers but it all adds up to me being so thankful to the fans who helped make this happen by welcoming this song into your lives with open arms."

The twangy tune, cowritten by Swift and her longtime producer Jack Antonoff, was embraced by country radio and debuted simultaneously at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Hot Country Songs charts.
"I hope you love them, because they were born out of pure gratitude for your exuberance for and celebration of the album we made," Swift wrote on social media.
"Patient Zero" followed in the chart-topping footsteps of "The Fate of Ophelia" and "Opalite," making "Showgirl" the first female album to yield three No. 1 hits since Swift's own "1989" over a decade earlier.
Since Swift began dating Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce in the summer of 2023, she has been spotted cheering for the team at 25 games, including Super Bowl LVIII.
Swift's presence has been wholeheartedly embraced by the NFL, whose commissioner, Roger Goodell, has credited Swift with an increase in interest among female fans.
"I'm just there to support Travis," Swift previously told Time. "I have no awareness of if I'm being shown too much and pissing off a few dads, Brads, and Chads."
The megastar is now back in action for her third consecutive NFL season, supporting Kelce and the Chiefs during the 2026 season — their first since Swift and Kelce got married at Madison Square Garden.
Here are the best photos of Swift from each appearance so far.

Swift's enthusiasm at her first Chiefs game seemed to confirm her then-rumored romance with Kelce.
Swift later said they were already an official couple before she watched the Chiefs beat the Chicago Bears.
"This all started when Travis very adorably put me on blast on his podcast, which I thought was metal as hell," she told Time. "We started hanging out right after that. So we actually had a significant amount of time that no one knew, which I'm grateful for, because we got to get to know each other."
"By the time I went to that first game, we were a couple," Swift continued. "I think some people think that they saw our first date at that game? We would never be psychotic enough to hard launch a first date."
For her second appearance, she brought her longtime pal Blake Lively.

The October game drew the highest viewership for a Sunday TV show since the Super Bowl, NBC Sports reported.

Shortly before her third game-day appearance, Kelce accused the NFL of "overdoing it" with its wall-to-wall coverage of Swift.
"I think it's fun when they show who all is at the game. I think it brings a little more to the atmosphere, brings a little bit more to what you're watching," Kelce said during an episode of his "New Heights" podcast.
"But at the same time, I think they're overdoing it a little bit," Kelce continued. "For sure, especially for my situation. I think they're just trying to have fun with it."
Swift has struck up a friendship with Brittany Mahomes, who's married to Kelce's teammate.

Swift spent most of November 2023 on the road for the South American leg of the Eras Tour. Kelce even flew to Buenos Aires, Argentina, to watch Swift perform — and received an onstage shout-out in return.
She returned to Kelce's side in early December when the Chiefs took on the Green Bay Packers. It was her first time watching Kelce's team lose.
She wore a vintage Chiefs sweatshirt for the team's next home game.

Swift purchased the '90s sweatshirt from Westside Storey, a secondhand clothing boutique in Kansas City.
The store's owner, Chris Harrington, told Business Insider he originally thought Swift's order — which totaled $1,200 for curated vintage pieces — could be fraudulent.
Instead, she wore one of those pieces at Arrowhead Stadium in December, causing a surge of traffic to Westside Storey's website.
"We've had hundreds of orders over the last 48 hours," Harrington told BI. "Sometimes our online store lights up after a Chiefs game when we win, but this is 100 times more than that, and we lost the game. It was the Taylor effect."
She brought her dad and friends to cheer for the Chiefs in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Even though the Chiefs lost to the Las Vegas Raiders on December 25, 2023, Kelce praised Swift and her family for making the day special.
The singer's brother, Austin Swift, dressed up as Santa Claus and gave Kelce a VHS copy of the 1994 film "Little Giants."
"He actually made me feel like a child because his gift to me was straight out of the bag," Kelce said on his podcast "New Heights.' "Whipped it out and handed me a VHS of my favorite football movie of all time."
She also spent New Year's Eve cheering for Kelce in Kansas City.

The Chiefs faced the Eagles at Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans. Serendipitously, Swift's trusted collaborator Kendrick Lamar headlined the halftime show.
As opposed to her usual Chiefs getup, Swift wore an agnostic white-and-denim outfit — perhaps to avoid rooting against her hometown team, who beat the Chiefs 40-22. (To date, the Chiefs have only lost four times with Swift in the stands.)
Swift skipped the Emmys to watch the Chiefs' first win of the 2026 season.

During the 2026 Emmys, Swift appeared in a prerecorded sketch with host Mariska Hargitay and the rest of the "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit" cast to explain her absence from the awards show. (Swift's latest Disney+ concert movie, which was filmed during her final performance of the Eras Tour, was nominated for outstanding variety special.)
As Hargitay's Olivia Benson pieces together, the Emmys overlapped with the Chiefs' first game of the 2026 season — playfully described in the scene as Swift's husband having a "work thing."
Indeed, Swift was spotted celebrating the Chiefs' win over the Broncos alongside her mom, Andrea; Kelce's mom, Donna; and Kelce's brother, Jason.
