For weeks now, Taylor Swift’s catalog has been rising higher and higher on charts globally. It seems that every few days the singer-songwriter gives the masses something else to be excited about, and whenever her name trends, sales, and streaming spikes follow.
First came the hints that an exciting announcement was on the way, and then a round of growth, as she announced her new album The Life of a Showgirl. Swift’s recent reveal that The Life of a Showgirl will arrive October 3 — with many covers and a confirmed return to pure pop, a field she’s conquered before — helped push her catalog forward again.
Then, her engagement announcement to boyfriend and football player Travis Kelce generated another jump in purchases and activity on platforms like Spotify, Apple Music, and others.
This week, multiple collections by Swift are sliding backward on the charts in the United Kingdom, but a handful of projects also manage to climb, and several others even return.
Fearless Becomes a Country Bestseller Again
Three Swift albums return to U.K. charts this frame. Fearless reappears at No. 20 on the Official Country Artists Albums ranking, bringing its total run there to 190 weeks. It previously peaked at No. 1.
Folklore Bounces Back Across Four Charts
Two other Swift releases rebound on a pair of tallies each. The most successful of the pair is Folklore, which reenters the Official Physical Albums chart at No. 80 and the Official Album Sales ranking at No. 83.
The same collection also lives inside the top 40 on two additional tallies, as it climbs five spaces to No. 32 on the Official Album Streaming chart and returns to the main list of most consumed projects in the U.K., soaring to No. 35.
1989 (Taylor’s Version) Reappears
1989 (Taylor’s Version) also reappears, bursting back onto a pair of charts. The re-recorded take on 1989 is back at No. 81 on the Official Physical Albums chart. It also comes in four spaces lower on the all-format list of the bestselling albums in the U.K.
Unlike Folklore, the set doesn’t rise on other rankings at the same time. Instead, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) falls slightly, dipping to No. 97 on the Official Album Streaming chart and sliding back one space to No. 92 on the Official Albums roster.
10 Taylor Swift Albums Chart Together
In total, 10 Swift albums appear on U.K. charts this frame. Now that Fearless has returned, only three — including Fearless (Taylor’s Version) and her self-titled debut — live on just one ranking, while all of the others manage placements across multiple tallies.
