Billboard charts. But then again, when does she not?Swift has achieved a new milestone in her career by earning the rare feat of having 10 albums find space on the Billboard 200 chart simultaneously.She’s just the fifth artist to do so, according to Billboard, and the first without a major event to connect the sales jump to.

The singer-songwriter takes up 5% of all available real estate on the weekly ranking of the most-consumed albums and EPs in the U.S., which is no small accomplishment.The “Anti-Hero” talent has always been known for her dominance in the music industry, and her latest achievement proves once again how popular and powerful she remains.

Impressively, while she makes history this time around, she only improves her performance slightly, as she often occupies more spots on the roster than everyone else.Last week, nine of Swift’s albums were already on the Billboard 200, and this time around she ups that count thanks to a new title, Lover: Live From Paris.

That live set debuts on the chart at No. 58. The album is available as a vinyl-only release that can be purchased exclusively through Swift’s official webstore.Lover: Live From Paris was recorded at Olympia in Paris on September 9, 2019, during the tour that supported her Lover album.
