Taylor Swift Achieves Career Milestone After Her Albums Charted Simultaneously on Billboard 200

As if Taylor Swift hasn't achieved more career milestones than any other artist in the industry right now - she has again achieved another feat that etched her on a coveted list of music icons.

Months passed since her tenth studio album, "Midnights," was released, and the album is still mighty at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 albums chart this week.

But aside from this longstanding accomplishment, Billboard reports that Taylor Swift has charted 10 of her albums concurrently this week at the genre-blending albums chart.

According to the March 4-dated chart, Swift has had her "Midnights," "Folklore," "Lover," "1989," "Red (Taylor's Version)," "Lover: Live From Paris)," "Reputation," "Evermore," "Fearless (Taylor's Version)," and "Speak Now," occupying ten spots on the Billboard 200 albums chart.

Check out the ranking below:

• No. 28 - Folklore
• No. 41 - Lover
• No. 50 - 1989
• No. 56 - Red (Taylor's Version)
• No. 58 - Lover: Live From Paris
• No. 100 - Reputation
• No. 103 - Evermore
• No. 172 - Fearless (Taylor's Version)
• No. 192 - Speak Now

Taylor is now the fifth artist to concurrently chart ten albums on the coveted albums chart.

Prince did it thrice already, weeks after his death in 2016. He first charted 19 of his albums, then 10, then 13, ending on the May 28, 2016-dated charts.

David Bowie also achieved the feat on Jan. 30, 2016, the succeeding weeks when he passed away on Jan. 10, 2016. Whitney Houston also charted her albums on Mar. 10, 2014, the week she passed away.

The Beatles also did it thrice - on January 2010, December 2010, and March 2015. In Jan 2010, it happened when Billboard allowed older catalogs to appear on the chart. In December, The Beatles' catalog being able to be downloaded digitally marked a huge surge in their activity on iTunes, marking the feat. In 2014, The Beatles did it again when the CBS-TV concert special "The Night That Changed America: A Grammy Salute to The Beatles" aired.

Interestingly, nothing that significant happened to Taylor Swift that led to her concurrently placing ten albums on the charts - proving once again that she is the music industry, a homage to her fans' label to her.

Swift, however, is preparing for her "The Eras" tour, which would start on Mar. 18, at The State Farm in Glendale, Arizona, with Paramore as her special guest.
