other stats Most Weeks Top 10 Billboard 200 EVER - Taylor Swift rises to #2

[elincomprendid]

Following this new record-breaking week of 4 albums in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, Taylor surpasses The Rolling Stones for the 2nd most weeks inside the region of the chart EVER. She now ranks just behind The Beatles, the biggest act on the chart history.

 

Consider her insane rate of adding weeks, could Taylor end up surpassing The Beatles and take the #1 spot? If so, how far you think she'll reach and how long will it take her? If not, how close do you think she'll get and why do you think she wont?

 

1. (=) The Beatles - 382
2. (+1) Taylor Swift - 309 (+4)
3. (-1) The Rolling Stones - 308
4. (=) Barbra Streisand - 277
5. (=) Mariah Carey - 231
6. (=) Drake - 213
7. (=) Herb Alpert - 210
8. (=) Garth Brooks - 208
9. (=) Michael Jackson - 191
10.  (=) Bruce Springsteen - 180

I never, ever, ever thought I’d see the day that some of The Beatles chart records you hear about could ever run the risk of being toppled. When I first started understanding and following some of these chart records back around 2014-2015, I understood those were records they would essentially hold forever. To see things shift in real time has been a wonder to behold. 

[Taylena]

The Beatles are really not safe.

Morgan Wallen is coming too. His 2 and a half year old album is still in the top 10 and his most recent one will probably have the same longevity

[TiaTamera]

She will clear it her next album most likely. 52 weeks is nothing for Taylor. If not the next album, the by the next 2. 
 

So she has the most weeks on top 200 for a woman and the most hot 100 for a woman?

[Bonicap]

Yeah, she will definitely overtake The Beatles in this ranking sooner or later

[Badgalbriel]

I never thought this was possible lol

Wow.  I love seeing a pop girl take all-time records from men.  Go, Taylor. 

[Buffy]

She will surpass them swiftly.

[MardinBeksloy]

She’ll easily take the #1 spot by her last re-recording 

[tili33]

oh, she's taking it.

[spree]

Gotta love the streaming era.

[Arrows]

She’ll be #1 in a year

last week in album sales:

#4 taylor swift

#9 taylor swift

#10 taylor swift

 

 

the week before that:

#4 taylor swift

#6 taylor swift

#7 taylor swift

#9 taylor swift

 

Wow, it's almost like she destroys everyone in streaming and simultaneously destroys everyone in sales!

 

 

in fact when sntv dropped:

#1 taylor swift

#3 taylor swift

#6 taylor swift

#7 taylor swift

#9 taylor swift

#10 taylor swift

So if we still had a sales system, she'd have even more dominant weeks than her first-living-artist-in-60-years domination with 4 in the top 10.

The streaming era excuse is stupid when only the 2 biggest artists of our generation are in this list anyway. 

[chiliam]

this is insane, those The Beatles record is no joke, they hold those records for like 60 years for a reason.

Cant believe Taylor is slowly but surely will take some of those records. 

 

GOAT.
