Official Albums Chart on 18/12/2020

I can't believe ROXETTE: BAG OF TRIX didn't even chart!! At least it is at number 2 in Sweden!

The chart record happened for Taylor Swift:

First female to achieve 2 #1 albums of new material in the same year

First living artist this century to achieve the feat.
Only the 10th occasion to have happened in chart history,
first time since 1976. 8th Artist ever to achieve the feat (Beatles achieving it 3 times, accounting for the extra 2 occasions without adding a different artist).

This is a very rare event that deserves more attention.
2 #1 albums in a year has been achieved 28 times if including albums from previous years, greatest hits and re-issues. T-Rex even achieved 3 #1s in a year by this method: a new album, a reissue and last year's new album all hit #1 within 6 months of each other in 1972. The fastest ever to have achieve it.

at 15 months, Taylor has achieved the fastest set of 3 #1 albums entirely of newly released material.

Miley is doing great on streaming. i'm so proud! Hopefully it will keep stable inside the top20 and eventually go back to the top10 when Prisoner takes off after christmas.
