Taylor Swift Becomes Female Artist with Most UK No. 1 Albums

Taylor Swift has made history by becoming the female artist with the most No. 1 albums in UK chart history, surpassing Madonna with her 13th chart-topper, 'Lover (Live From Paris).' The album achieved its record-breaking status thanks to a recent reissue in a special heart-shaped vinyl format, shifting approximately 47,000 units in its opening week. This marks the first time an album has reached No. 1 solely through physical sales in eight years, a feat last accomplished by Swift's own 'Reputation' in 2017. Swift is now tied with Elvis Presley for the most No. 1 albums among international artists, trailing only The Beatles and Robbie Williams, who have 15 each. 'Lover (Live From Paris)' also boasts the largest opening week sales for a live album this century and has topped the Official Vinyl Albums Chart. The success follows the conclusion of Swift's record-breaking Eras Tour, which solidified her status in the music industry.
