Taylor Swift has once again proven her dominance in the music industry, achieving a remarkable feat that only two other iconic acts, The Beatles and Prince, have managed in the past. With her latest release, Speak Now (Taylor's Version), she has stormed back to the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart, marking her twelfth leader on the prestigious ranking of the most-consumed titles in the U.S.

You might assume that all the attention of her loyal fanbase would be focused solely on her latest album, but Taylor Swift's ever-growing discography continues to captivate listeners, resulting in an incredible presence on the Billboard 200. In fact, she currently occupies more spaces on the chart than any other female artist in history, with an astounding 11 different projects making appearances this week.

Billboard, the definitive authority on music charts, acknowledged this remarkable achievement by Taylor Swift, noting that she is the first woman to claim such a vast real estate on the highly competitive tally simultaneously. While she may be the first female artist to chart 11 titles at once, she is not the only musical act to achieve this feat.

The Beatles, one of the most influential and legendary rock bands in history, were the pioneers in accruing at least 11 charting releases simultaneously. They accomplished this astonishing feat not once but twice, first in 2010 and then again in 2014, often snagging even more than 11 spaces on the chart.

Another legendary artist who achieved this remarkable showing was the incomparable Prince. However, his feat was marred by a somber reason. Following his untimely passing, grieving fans rushed to buy his albums, resulting in a record-setting 19 spaces owned on the Billboard 200 at one time.

Thus, Taylor Swift's accomplishment becomes even more exceptional when considering the context. She stands as the only living solo musician to achieve this milestone and the first woman to do so. Moreover, unlike The Beatles, she continues to work actively in the music industry, making her achievement a testament to her enduring popularity and influence.

Taylor Swift's presence on the Billboard 200 is not just a mere scattering of titles across the chart; it's a resounding domination. Four of her 11 charting albums have secured spots inside the top 10, further solidifying her place in music history. Additionally, almost all of her albums, except one, have found their home in the upper half of the chart, with a majority residing comfortably within the top 40.

Here is where all of Swift’s 11 albums rank on this week’s Billboard 200.

No. 1 – Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)

No. 5 – Midnights

No. 7 – Lover

No. 10 – Folklore
