Tuesday, November 8, 2022 1:00pm ET by Pressparty Taylor Swift Makes Billboard Artist 100 Chart HistoryTaylor Swift marks yet another milestone on the latest Billboard Artist 100 chart (Nov. 12) as she becomes the first artist to spend a full year at Number 1. Swift amasses a record-extending 52nd week at the top the chart (non-consecutively), thanks to a second-week of success because of her latest effort Midnights. According to Luminate, the album adds a second week at Number 1 on the Billboard 200 with 342,000 equivalent album units earned - the largest second-week total for any album since Adele's 25 drew 1.162 million in its second frame on the chart back on Dec. 19, 2015. The album's 342,000 units is also the third-biggest of the year, after the set's first week (1.578M) and the opening week of Harry Styles' Harry’s House (521,000). Meanwhile, all 20 songs from Midnights (13 from its standard version and seven from its "3am Edition") rank on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for a second straight week, led by "Anti-Hero", which secures a second week at Number 1, followed in the top 10 by "Lavender Haze" at Number 6, "Midnight Rain" at Number 7 and "Bejeweled" at Number 9. Swift has now led the Artist 100, Hot 100 and Billboard 200 simultaneously for 12 total weeks. Only Drake has spent more time ruling all three charts at the same time, accumulating 16 weeks.
