Taylor Swift has continued to dominate the charts, landing her fourth non-consecutive week atop the Billboard 200 album charts.
The 34-year-old singer has returned to the top of the Billboard 200 with 1989 (Taylor’s Version), which has also spent eight straight weeks atop the Australian ARIA charts as well.
She also has three albums in the top 10 – with both Midnights and Lover in the third and seventh spots, via Billboard.
Swift has also tied a record set by Elvis Presley, with her latest return to the top of the album chart marking her 67th week on top.
That ties Elvis for the most weeks atop the album charts for a solo artist, though she still has some work to do to pass The Beatles.
