Taylor Swift joined fans at the Los Angeles movie premiere of her ‘Eras Tour.’
Taylor Swift is all shook up.
The singer/songwriter has surpassed Elvis Presley as the soloist with the most weeks at No.1 on the Billboard 200 with the release of her latest album, "1989 (Taylor’s Version)," Billboard revealed on Sunday.
According to the outlet, the 34-year-old has spent 68 weeks atop the Billboard 200, beating the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, who recorded 67 weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 across his 10 albums between 1956 and 2022.

The outlet noted that the "Anti-Hero" star first made it to the top of the Billboard chart with the release of her 2008 album "Fearless," which spent 11 weeks at No. 1 between 2008 and 2009. Swift then followed that achievement with her albums "Speak Now" (2010), "Red" (2012), "1989" (2014), "Reputation" (2017), "Lover" (2019), "Folklore" (2020), "Evermore" (2020) and "Midnights" (2022). Those releases added 47 weeks at the top.

Swift may have surpassed the "Jailhouse Rock" icon, but she still hasn’t conquered the Fab Four. The Beatles spent 132 weeks in the No. 1 spot across their 19 albums between 1964 and 2001.
