Taylor Swift Ends the Year on a High
Taylor Swift closes out the year by making history once more. evermore, her latest album, bows at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and her single “willow” captures #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, cementing her as the only artist in history to simultaneously debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100 twice.
She accomplishes this feat only four months after the concurrent arrival of folklore and “cardigan” at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100, respectively—which initially made her “the only artist in history to simultaneously debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Billboard Hot 100.”
This week, she also holds No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with evermore and No. 3 with folklore. According to a press release, she is “the first woman to log two albums in the Top 3 of the Billboard 200 since 1963.”
The grateful singer addressed her fans on Twitter, writing, “Guys. Seriously. Thank you for doing this.”
