Taylor Swift Surpasses Elvis Presley as Solo Artist with Most Weeks at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart
Taylor Swift surpasses Elvis Presley with 68 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and ties Drake for most BBMAs.
Taylor Swift has made history by surpassing Elvis Presley's record for the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, spending a total of 68 weeks in the top spot. However, she still has a ways to go before she can overtake The Beatles, who have spent 132 weeks at No. 1 across their 19 albums.
During the recent Billboard Music Awards, Swift tied with Drake for the most awards of all time, taking home 10 BBMAs. In a prerecorded speech, she expressed her gratitude to her fans for their support, acknowledging that none of her success would be possible without them.
Swift's Eras Tour was a massive success, with a 35-show run in the U.S. and a four-show stretch in Mexico City, marking her first time headlining shows in the country. The tour concluded in Argentina and Brazil in November, and Swift also released a film documenting the tour, which had blockbuster ticket sales of $92.8 million in the U.S.
Overall, Swift's achievements in both her music career and her tour have solidified her status as one of the most successful and influential artists of her generation.
