Taylor Swift: She knocks Whitney Houston from the top of the charts

Taylor Swift's album "Folklore" returns to the top of the charts. With this, the singer overtook Whitney Houston's number one record.

Taylor Swift's (30) eighth album "Folklore" returns to the top of the chart and thus sets a long-term record, as the music magazine "Billboard" reports. Because the total number of weeks in which a Swift album was at number one in the US charts is now 47. To date, the late artist Whitney Houston (1963-2012) held this record at 46 weeks. So she is now the most successful individual artist.

Swift's melancholy work was created entirely in self-isolation during the corona pandemic. On the first day after its release on July 24, 2020, fans streamed the album a total of 80.6 million times on Spotify. No artist has achieved this before.

However, the undisputed number one remains the Beatles with a total of 132 weeks at the top of the charts. However, they also needed 19 albums for this remarkable record.
