TAYLOR SWIFT'S 'SPEAK NOW (TAYLOR'S VERSION)' SETS A NEW RECORD: MOST NO. 1 ALBUMS BY A WOMAN!

Congratulations are in order for Taylor Swift and her devoted fans, the Swifties. The pop star has achieved a remarkable feat by having more No. 1 albums than any other woman in history.

"Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" is her latest album, released this month as part of her project to re-record her first six albums after a dispute over her early catalog. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, making it her 12th album to reach the top spot.

Previously, Barbra Streisand held the record with 11 No. 1 albums.

Taylor Swift now shares the record of 12 No. 1 albums with Drake, but she's behind Jay-Z, who has 14, and the Beatles, with an impressive 19 No. 1 albums.

In addition to this significant achievement, Swift's "Speak Now (Taylor's Version)" is 2023's biggest album release so far, with 716,000 equivalent album units, including 506,600 in traditional album sales (410,000 physical and 96,600 digital sales).
