Travis and Jason Kelce are not well-known musicians. Both are well-known athletes, but Travis Kelce is known far more from that now - he's also Taylor Swift's boyfriend.
These two of the NFL's most successful players have made their name and wealth from their playing days, but recently, music has also taken center stage.
Jason, one of the two stars, came dangerously close to topping a Billboard chart this week, but he was prevented from doing so by his brother's girlfriend, according to Forbes.
This week, Taylor Swift is back at the top of the Vinyl Albums ranking.
Every week, Billboard releases a list of the top vinyl records in the United States, and for the past month and a half, the pop and country music icon has been at the top.
She prevents Jason Kelce from having his first No. 1 album in America since she owned the list longer. Swift's 1989 (Taylor's Version) is at No. 1 on the most recent Vinyl Albums chart for the sixth time in a row -- that is, throughout the entirety of the chart's existence.
Just behind her at Nos. 2 and 3, debut volumes by a band called The Philly Specials. This time, the group releases A Philly Special Christmas Special (The Deluxe Album 2022 & 2023) on the runner-up rung. The two albums from the group are contained in that box set.
A Philly Special Christmas Special, which is exclusive to 2023, debuted at No. 3 this week.
Along with fellow players Lane Johnson and Jordan Mailata, Jason Kelce performs as part of this musical ensemble.
In order to record holiday songs and give the revenues to charity, the three of them created the band last year. The Philly Specials have had a great year in 2023 as a result of Jason's brother getting involved. Despite not being a part of the group, he did provide his name and vocals to the song "Fairytale of Philadelphia," which is part of their new set.
His involvement contributed to the song's Billboard charting success, along with the fact that his popularity has skyrocketed as a result of his connection with Swift.
Travis's involvement with The Philly Specials exposed them to millions of people, as everyone in Swift's sphere of influence can attest to their rapid rise to prominence.
The group's two releases this year have been chart successes now that they are more well-known, however they fell short of hitting No. 1.
Swift -- the same woman who initially helped the group reach a new high, could be said to be now one standing in the way of the group's album ranking.
