It seems like the "Midnights" craze isn't over yet as Taylor Swift continues to break records almost two months after the album's release; what's her achievement this time?
According to Pop Crave, the "Snow On The Beach" hitmaker becomes the first female artist in history to spend a whopping 60 weeks at number one on the Billboard 200 charts.
Although "Midnights" was just released in October, many of Swift's previous releases have been dominating the charts for months now.
That Grape Juice reported that previous albums like "Folklore" (eight weeks)," "1989" and "Fearless" (both 11 weeks), "Speak Now" (six weeks), and "Red" (7 weeks), have all contributed to the singer's recent record.
Her 10th studio album, with the lead single "Anti-Hero," saved her from being unqualified to set the new record as the music project has sold an additional 151,000 equivalent album units which totals her sales to a shocking 2.75 million.
Swift might be the first female to get this record, but there were two previous music acts to achieve such like The Beatles and Elvis Presley.
Taylor Swift Criticized Over Latest Billboard Record

"Streaming farms, bots and desperately releasing a remix every couple days impact," one wrote. "fraudulent because of the 10000+ remixes," another one wrote.
The fans quoted above were talking about the pop star's song "Anti-Hero" which currently has many versions like a collaboration with Bleachers, an acoustic one, and remixes by Jayda G, Roosevelt, and Kungs.
