Taylor Swift’s ‘1989’ (Taylor's Version) debuts at number 1 on Billboard 200

Singer Taylor Swift’s new album ‘1989 (Taylor’s Version)’, a re-recording of her ‘1989’ album, has secured the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Nov. 11), scoring the singer her 13th No. 1 on the chart. It is now the top-selling album in America for 2023.

The album has topped the Billboard 200, along with the vinyl albums and streaming albums charts, with over 1.6 million units in the U.S. and over 3.5 million globally.

This makes Taylor Swift the first artist to score six No. 1 album debuts with over 1 million units sold in history.

Earlier, Swift’s latest album nabbed her the record for the most-streamed Spotify album in a single day, a title she previously held with her 2022 album ‘Midnights’.

Her newest rerelease includes all songs from the original album, as well as five new vault tracks, which are ‘Is It Over Now?,’ ‘Say Don’t Go,’ ‘Now That We Don’t Talk,’ ‘Suburban Legends’ and ‘Slut!’

When the re-recorded album dropped, Taylor wrote on Instagram, ‘I was born in 1989, reinvented for the first time in 2014, and a part of me was reclaimed in 2023 with the re-release of this album I love so dearly. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine the magic you would sprinkle on my life for so long.’

‘This moment is a reflection of the woods we've wandered through and all this love between us still glowing in the darkest dark. I present to you, with gratitude and wild wonder, my version of 1989. It's been waiting for you. Taylor,’ Swift added.
