In the United States, Swift stands on the brink of history as she eyes the coveted number one spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

Additionally, Swift is set to extend her reign as the female artist with the most number one albums, further solidifying her dominance in the music industry.
Moreover, Swift’s latest masterpiece has the potential to surpass her own records for total weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, consecutive number one albums, and consecutive albums debuting at number one.

In Australia, Swift is on track to break her tie with Madonna and become the sole holder of the record for the most number one albums by a female artist. With 12 number one albums apiece, Swift and Madonna have shared the spotlight, but Swift’s latest offering could propel her to the pinnacle of Australian music history.
In Ireland, Swift has her sights set on surpassing Bruce Springsteen to claim the title of the artist with the most number one albums. Currently tied with Springsteen at 10 number one albums, ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ could elevate her to unparalleled heights in the Irish music scene.
