TAYLOR SWIFT

Taylor Swift is an American singer-songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee. One of the most successful recording artists of the 21st century, Taylor became a pop culture monolith by successfully performing several pivots in genre.

Originally coming to fame as a wunderkind in country, Taylor quickly became known for her confessional, diaristic lyricisms and penchant for a punchy melody.

After three country albums (Taylor Swift, Fearless, Speak Now) made her a homegrown superstar, Taylor's fourth album Red began her experiments with pop, and the beginning of a fruitful partnership with Max Martin, who would executive produce the next two albums to turn Taylor into a galaxy-sized pop star; 1989 and Reputation.

2019's Lover was another full embrace of pop, but it was 2020's surprise lockdown album Folklore which saw Taylor emerge herself into lo-fi indie-core (included too on its sister record, Evermore) which helped her re-establish herself as one of the most talented songwriters of her generation. 

An ambitious re-recording of her first seven albums following legal issues, as well as 2022 LP Midnights and the record-setting billion-dollar Eras Tour turned Taylor into the kind of pop culture supernova that we haven't witnessed since Beatlemania. Capping off a remarkable few years in April 2024 with the release of surprise double album The Tortured Poets Department, which defied usual campaign convention to land in the public domain without being preceded by any singles.

On 26 April 2024, The Tortured Poets Department delivered Taylor Swift her 12th Number 1 album, meaning Taylor pulls level with Madonna as the female artist with the most Number 1 albums in the UK. No other artist in Official Chart history has notched up 12 chart toppers in such quick succession either; Taylor Swift did it in a record-breaking 11 years and 6 months, from Red in October 2012 to The Tortured Poets Department on 26 April 2024. This prolific chart-topping form surpasses even The Beatles who managed the feat in 14 years and 1 month.

"Taylor is the first and only artist this century to accumulate 10 UK Number 1 albums"


I only count nine: Red, 1989, Reputation, Lover, Folklore, Evermore, Fearless, Midnights, Speak Now

Probably confusing yourselves by listing re-releases separately.

61 hits. I'd love to know how many of these are just album tracks.
It's a shame people)groups like Elvis, The Beatles of ABBA weren't allowed album tracks in the charts.
Makes a complete mockery of ' UK Singles Chart '.

The answer to your point is 12. 12 album tracks from Taylor Swift have charted on the UK Singles Chart. The first one to appear is 'Cruel Summer' on the chart dated 05.09.2019, this was over a decade into her career.

The full list for information is:
Cruel Summer
The 1
Exile
Champagne Problems
No Body No Crime
You Belong With Me (Taylor's Version)
State of Grace (Taylor's Version)
Red (Taylor's Version)
Don't Blame Me
August
Snow on the Beach
You're On Your Own Kid

1 in 2019
4 in 2020
3 in 2021
4 in 2022.

The other charted songs are either official singles, promotional singles, radio singles or soundtracks.

I hope that helps answer your point, Anthony.

Hi, thanks for the reply. I didn’t count them due to them not being serviced to UK radio. To my knowledge they were sent to US radio (Alt & Hot AC) but not in the UK. Similar to how I wouldn’t class Getaway Car a single (if it had charted in the UK) even tough it was sent to radio in Australia.

Why is the duet with Lana Del Ray not on the list?

I really don't get the hype. Boring music for basic Becky's.

In all fairness, Taylor is an example of how the 3 song rule doesn't work, because anyone who looks at this page is going to look and say "Oh, Taylor fell off", even though she didn't and just because she isn't getting #1s doesn't mean she's failing. The OFFICIAL top 100 songs should be the top 100 songs, not just the ones OCC thinks we should know about. This list should be so much longer because at least half of folklore should've charted, a decent chunk of evermore and also a lot of the taylor's versions.

If anyone here thinks Taylor fell of look at the audio streams charts for the following dates and see how many songs Taylor has in the top 100:

31.07.2020 (folklore)
18.12.2020 (evermore)
19.11.2021 (Red Taylor's Version)

It's not called TOP 100 SONGS but TOP 100 SINGLES

Songs not promoted as singles shouldn't even ever have been allowed to chart in first place.
