MANILA, Philippines – Taylor Swift is on a roll. She had recently released album Midnights (The Til Dawn Edition) while on The Eras Tour, and now has broken a Guinness World Record.
Guinness World Records (GWR) reported on Thursday, June 1, that the “Anti-Hero” singer is the only living artist to have 10 albums charting simultaneously on the US Billboard 200, citing the chart for May 6, 2023. These albums are:
- folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions (No. 3)
- Midnights (No. 4)

Swift had also broken the same record after the same albums appeared on the US Billboard 200 on March 4, 2023, with the exclusion of folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions. Instead, Lover: Live from Paris completed the list in the 58th spot.
According to GWR, the only other artists to have had 10 albums simultaneously on the US Billboard 200 are Whitney Houston in 2012 and Prince and David Bowie in 2016, but these all happened after their deaths.
