    Things have changed.

    Living proof that you can still have a literal billion dollars and still feel like you need/want more.

    Who has the record for the longest #1 on the Billboard 200? I’m guessing she’s trying to beat that?

    Gotta be Old Town Road right?

    nothing like a white woman and a culture vulture coming to take down a black/queer artist.

    if the song was actually good this wouldn’t be as much of an issue.

    That’s for the Billboard 100 which is songs, I’m talking about the Billboard 200 which is albums.

    Thinking it's 21 from Adele, she had 20+ weeks.

    Are you all allergic to Google or what?

    Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band spent 15 weeks at number one in 1967, which is the longest back-to-back run for any number one album.

    Purple Rain was 24 weeks so she's not beating that

    So Swift might actually beat it? She's at 11 now.

    If Taylor has cared more about the numbers earlier in her career I wonder where she'd be. I think she always cared but she didn't really seem to start pushing it as much until 1989 and the different Polaroids with the album, unless I'm forgetting other album release strategies. Otherwise I feel like it was just a target deluxe edition thing. I guess she did have the papa John's promotion with Red now that I'm thinking about it. But nothing else memorable stands out

    I'm guessing for her it's just trying to find new records to break and heights to achieve. When you've hit all the other career milestones I guess why not have different goals or markers? I feel like I've heard other artists say they hit it big and achieved their dream and then had the spiral of "now what?" Maybe this is how Taylor keeps from avoiding that spiral? With our capitalistic society's mindset that we need to work and achieve all the time, wouldn't surprise me.

    Why yes, I am a certified armchair therapist, thx

    It is absolutely a meaningful milestone for young artists, especially if they’ve never gotten there before. The Gracie one is especially notable, since Taylor went out of her way to lift that release up, but it kind of came across as “you can have a big first week, but you can’t have my crown.”
