Taylor Swift is closing out her banner year with a bang as she broke Elvis Presley’s record for most weeks at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart by a solo artist.

The latest chart, announced on Sunday, marks 68 cumulative weeks with Swift at the top as her 1989 (Taylor’s Version) secured its fifth consecutive #1 position.

The Grammy winner’s Midnights album from 2022 is in the top 10 as well.

The Beatles have the record for the most weeks at the top of the album chart among all acts, whether solo or in a group, with a total of 132 weeks.

The news comes as Taylor tops off an incredible 2023 where she broke  the record for most #1 albums by a woman with the release of both Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and 1989 (Taylor’s Version), her Eras Tour was the first to gross $1 billion and her Eras Tour film secured the highest box office opening for a concert film.

Rounding out the top 10 albums on Sunday were Michael Buble’s 2011 Christmas album, Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday, Nat King Cole’s seasonal album, Morgan Wallen’s 2023 One Thing at a Time, Drake’s For All the Dogs, A Christmas Gift for You From Phil Spector, Mariah Careyights’s Christmas album and Pentatonix’s Greatest Christmas Hits were bookends to Taylor’s Midnights.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) rose from the second spot two weeks ago, selling 136,000 equivalent album units in the United States for the week ending December 21.

Those sales are up 25% from the previous week, which could be due to various holiday promotions.

1989 spent its first two weeks atop the charts – November 11 and November 18 – before returning to the top on the December 9 charts.

Taylor Swift’s 1989 and Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday swapped spots two weeks ago as well, with Pink Friday dropping a spot to #2.

1989 (Taylor’s Version) also marks the biggest debut of any album, based on unit sales, since Adele‘s 25 in 2015, Billboard reported.

All 13 of the Bad Blood singer’s full-length studio albums and re-recorded projects, starting with 2008’s Fearless, which was her second studio album, through 2023’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) have debuted at number one.

When the Karma hitmaker dropped the re-recorded 1989 album, she wrote on Instagram, ‘I was born in 1989, reinvented for the first time in 2014, and a part of me was reclaimed in 2023 with the re-release of this album I love so dearly.

‘Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the magic you would sprinkle on my life for so long.’

She continued, ‘This moment is a reflection of the woods we’ve wandered through and all this love between us still glowing in the darkest dark.

‘I present to you, with gratitude and wild wonder, my version of 1989. It’s been waiting for you. Taylor.’
