Taylor Swift breaks Australian chart record despite having no new music

Taylor Swift sent Australia into a frenzy last week as over four million people tried to get tickets for her Sydney and Melbourne shows. 

And the Taylor mania continues as the US superstar broke a new record in this week’s ARIA (Australian Recording Industry Association) charts. 

As Swifties Down Under get excited for her Era’s tour, which is coming next February, her music has dominated the charts. 

Despite her latest album Midnight’s coming out last October, it sits at number one on the ARIA album charts. 

What’s even more impressive than that is that the top five albums in the charts are all Taylor Swift’s, which is a record. 

Lover is at number two, followed by 1989, Reputation, and then Folklore. 

Taylor has taken the record away from Michael Jackson, who previously held the most albums at the top of the Australian charts. 

After his death in 2009, he had three albums in the top three.

Only one of Taylor’s albums is not in the top 20, her debut self-titled record from 2006. 

At number nine is Red, Evermore sits at number 14, Fearless is at number 16, and Speak Now made the top 20 at number 18. 

The US singer also dominates the singles charts this week. 

She has a whopping 13 songs in the top 50. 

Four years after its release, Taylor’s Cruel Summer is the highest track on the chart at number three.

Anti-Hero and Karma, which are from her newest 2022 album Midnights, sit at number six and seven. 

Blank Space and Style, which are from her 2014 album 1989, are at number 11 and 12. 

This comes as Taylor released her re-recording of her 2010 album Speak Now on Friday. 

It’s the third album she has re-recorded as part of her project to re-release her first six albums after the masters were sold in 2020 to Scooter Braun.
