Taylor Swift has smashed yet another music record, as her long-awaited album 1989 (Taylor’s Version) has soared to the top of the UK charts.

The hitmaker, 33, has become the female artist with the most number one albums this millennium.

Not only that, Taylor’s new album has become the fastest selling album of 2023 with 184,000 copies sold in seven days, doubling the album’s original release sales from 2014, which were 90,000.

The new album includes records which hit the charts in 2014 such as Shake It Off and Style.

This week the album has beaten the rest of the top ten, combined.

Madonna, 65, who is currently on her European tour, is the only other female artist to have a similar number of number one albums, with a total of 12.

Last week, Taylor had officially announced to have reached billionaire status, only 17 years into her illustrious career as music’s biggest superstar.

Bloomberg reported that Swift, 33, is now worth over $1 billion and joins the coveted ten-digit club which includes Kim Kardashian and Oprah Winfrey.

The success of the multi-Grammy Award-winning singer’s Eras Tour — which is on track to becoming the highest grossing tour in history — is credited for skyrocketing her net worth.

This is on top of huge earnings from her first six albums, which she re-recorded as she negotiating with streaming platforms how her music is monetised.

Taylor had been rereleasing her own music in order to own the music directly as previously her music had been sold to others within the industry.

As well as releasing the same tracks with updated lyrics, Taylor has been including never heard before songs from what she called ‘the vault’ such as Suburban Legends and Now That We Don’t Talk.

The accomplishment is particularly monumental as she is among a small few who’ve achieved the milestone ‘through music and performing alone.’

Along with boosting her own net worth, Bloomberg reported that the 53 concerts Swift performed in the United States this year ‘added $4.3 billion to the country’s gross domestic product.’

This is because the massive tour led to extensive travel, ticket sales and merchandising opportunities for her legions of fans.

The outlet notes their analysis was a ‘conservative’ one as it is strictly based on figures that are publicly known such as her real estate portfolio, streaming deals, etc.

Swift kicked off her Eras Tour in the United States in March following a now infamous Ticketmaster debacle last November that left many ‘Swifties’ without tickets and, instead, saw them snapped up by resellers.

The site had crashed and fans found themselves booted from the virtual queues.

Swift spoke out amid the chaos, telling her devout fanbase that she was just as ‘pissed off’ as everyone else is.

At face value, the ticket prices ranged between $49 to $499. But on resale sites like StubHub and SeatGeek, they were going for thousands of dollars.

SeatGeek told U.S. News in August that the average price of an Eras Tour resale ticket was $1,619.

The tour is predicted to net the star a staggering $4.1 billion — the most an artist has ever made from a single tour in history — according to the Washington Post.
