Taylor Swift spends a record-extending 89th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100 chart (dated Dec. 16), thanks to 10 albums on the Billboard 200 and four songs on the Billboard Hot 100.

Fittingly for Swift’s latest frame atop the Artist 100, 1989 (Taylor’s Version) leads her titles on the Billboard 200 at No. 2 with 101,000 equivalent album units earned Dec. 1-7, according to Luminate, after spending three weeks at No. 1.


Here’s a recap of Swift’s 10 current Billboard 200-charting albums:

  • No. 1, 1989 (Taylor’s Version)
  • No. 6, Midnights
  • No. 9, Folklore
  • No. 11, Lover
  • No. 17, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)
  • No. 27, Red (Taylor’s Version)
  • No. 32, Reputation
  • No. 38, Evermore
  • No. 58, Fearless (Taylor’s Version)
  • No. 80, 1989

On the Hot 100, Swift charts four songs, led by “Cruel Summer” at No. 7, following four weeks on top. Next up, all from 1989 (Taylor’s Version): “You’re Losing Me (From the Vault),” which jumps 46-27, a new high, following its first full week of tracking; “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” at No. 30, after a week at No. 1; and “Now That We Don’t Talk (Taylor’s Version) (From the Vault)” at No. 84, after it debuted at its No. 2 best. With its ascent, “You’re Losing Me (From the Vault)” becomes Swift’s 138th top 40 Hot 100 hit, extending her record for the most among women.

Kneecap Blasts Norwegian Government at Oslo Festival, Accusing It of Funding ‘Genocide’ Against Palestinians

The Irish rap trio went after the Norwegian government over its investments, which are currently under scrutiny, at Øyafestivalen.

Irish rap group Kneecap – which has drawn a storm of criticism, support, attention and legal action over the past half-year – continued to speak out about the war in Gaza during an afternoon set at the Øyafestivalen in Oslo, Norway, on Friday (Aug. 8).

Right before the trio of Mo Chara, Móglaí Bap and DJ Próvaí took the stage, an English-language white-text-on-black-background message played on a video screen, accusing the Norwegian government of “enabling” the “genocide” against the Palestinian people via investments held in the county’s sovereign wealth fund (referenced as “oil pension fund” in the message). “Over 80,000 people have been murdered by Israel in 21 months,” the band’s message continued. “Free Palestine.” The message was greeted readily by a cheering audience. Most estimates (including those from health officials in the area) place the Palestinian death toll at more than 60,000. That number does not distinguish between civilians and Hamas militants. An estimated 18,500 of those killed were children.
