Taylor Swift makes history with her latest album

Taylor Swift made history by becoming the first artist to simultaneously hold the top ten spots on the US Most Streamed Songs chart, following the release of her album Midnights.

His song Anti-Hero is number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

This is the first time in the 64-year history of the famous list that a single artist has occupied the first ten positions.

The last one to come close to achieving such a feat was rapper Drake, who took over nine of the coveted spots in September 2021.

10 out of 10 on the Hot 100? On my tenth album? I’m in a mess,” Taylor Swift tweeted, nodding to her devoted fans’ love of searching for hidden clues in her content, including titles, numbers and dates.

Swift, 32, released her highly anticipated Midnights on October 21, also debuting atop Billboard’s top albums chart, in the best week for a release since singer Adele’s 25th album in 2015. .

The release of Swift’s 10th studio album caused a meltdown on Spotify for hours, yet Midnights set a record for the most streamed album in one day, according to the platform.

The album’s 13 tracks tell “the story of 13 sleepless nights in my life,” Swift said. Together, they form “a complete picture of the intensity of that bewildering and crazy hour.”

With Midnights, Swift returns to pop and evokes some of her early hits after two pandemic albums, the more folk-leaning Folklore and Evermore.

It also comes at a time when the American singer has achieved resounding success by beginning to reissue her first six albums in order to manage her copyrights.

Indeed, she reissued two of those six albums: Fearless and Red. She still has four left, after she was contractually enabled to begin the process in November 2020.

Throughout her career Taylor Swift has been setting marks and challenges, due to public acceptance.

At the age of 14, she became the youngest artist signed by the Sony record label. And Our Song, a single from her debut album, Taylor Swift (2006), made her the youngest solo artist to write and perform a number one song on the Hot Country Songs chart.

Midnights, his tenth album, shook the Spotify streaming platform, being the most listened to in a single day, a hit that was leading Bad Bunny up to that moment with Un Verano sin ti.

With Midnights, in less than 24 hours, both the title of the new release and the name of Taylor Swift were among the most mentioned topics on social networks, where a debate was generated between her followers and her detractors, around the songs, their meanings and to whom they were addressed.

The premiere of Midnights crossed music platforms: Swift’s official website was swamped by heavy traffic after her first social media posts about the new album.

In addition, the album cover became a trend on the internet, it was copied, parodied and imitated by millions of users, official accounts of important brands and stars of the entertainment world.

I think of the Midnights album as a conceptual work. It is a mixture of intensity and height. Life can be dark, bright, gray, scary, electrifying, warm, cold, romantic or lonely, ”said the artist during the launch of her material that was available on October 21.

During her 18-year career, the singer-songwriter has proven that if there’s one thing she’s got, it’s not being predictable. No album is like the previous one —perhaps the themes linked to love connect them— and every time she fits into a musical genre, she launches a new work that completely contradicts it.

With her recent album she represents the essence of Swift. She is a singer, songwriter, actress, producer, director and businesswoman. The artist was born under the name of Taylor Alison Swift, in Reading (Pennsylvania), on December 13, 1989. Nashville was her second home from the age of 14, where she began a brilliant career, which catapulted her to the rank of celebrity, after successful albums such as Fearless (2008), Speak Now (2010), Red (2012), 1989 (2014), and Reputation (2017).

With Fearless she also achieved a record that stood until 2020. She became the youngest singer to win a Grammy in the category of Best Album of the Year. This material also became the most awarded album in the history of country music.

As for 1989, it is Swift’s most successful album, with more than 10 million sales and all her singles in the top 10. The album won three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year, and made Swift the first artist female to have twice received the award in this category.
