The musical sensation from around the world is now number one on the Billboard 200 chart with her most recent reissue, 1989 (Taylor’s Version). She has now had an album at number one for 67 weeks, tying Presley for the longest weeks a solo artist has been at the top of the Billboard 200 list. If Swift’s album stays at the top of the charts for one more week, it will break Presley’s record.

Even while Swift is getting close to setting a record for the most weeks at No. 1 among solo artists on the Billboard 200, she still has a long way to go before breaking the mark. The Beatles presently hold this record, maintaining a commanding lead of 132 weeks at the top of the chart.

Her “Eras Tour” was a worldwide and domestic sensation, with tickets selling out online minutes after they went on sale. The demand was so great that after fans had serious trouble getting tickets, the U.S. Senate held a hearing in January to discuss issues with the ticket industry, namely with Ticketmaster.

Her accomplishments also included the release of a movie. In October, the “The Eras Tour” concert film debuted in theatres, breaking previous records for first-day ticket sales and earning more than $200 million at the box office.
