'She's the SI unit of greatness': Fans hail Taylor Swift as she breaks 60-year record with 5 albums in Top 10 on Billboard 200
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Taylor Swift's name has become popular for breaking records in the music industry and the latest Billboard’s Hot 200 chart is just proof of it.
The 12-times Grammy-winning megastar has become the first living artist in the past 60 years to have five albums concurrently in the top 10 of Billboard Hot 200.
Ever since Billboard combined its separate mono and stereo album charts into one single list in August of 1963, Taylor Swift became the first musician to have five albums on the top 10 entries in the list.
