Lucky 13 number one albums for Taylor Swift

Taylor is one of the biggest-selling international artists in UK chart history

Taylor Swift has shot back to the top of the album charts for the 13th time.

She's done it with her album Lover (live in Paris) which is a series of songs she performed live at a one-off concert in the French capital in 2019.

It takes her past superstar singer Madonna, who has 12 number one albums.

She's now level with pop legend Elvis Presley as the international artist with the most chart-topping albums in UK.

The album is a recording of a live show in Paris in 2019 when her album Lover came out

The album was originally released in a limited quantity in 2023 but was released on a heart-shaped record for Valentine's Day this year.

Experts say this result also shows how Swifties like buying actual physical copies of her music because it's the first album in eight years to top the charts on pure sales, with no streams contributing to its total.

The last time this happened was in 2017 for... Taylor's Reputation album, which she only added to streaming services three weeks after it came out.

Robbie Williams is still ahead of Taylor with 15 number one albums

Chief executive of Official Charts, Martin Talbot, said: "If we thought Taylor Swift would peak in 2024, with her domination of the charts during the summer, we couldn't have been more wrong.

"What an amazing achievement to surpass the albums chart record of Madonna, such a huge music icon."

The Beatles and Robbie Williams currently hold the joint crown for the most number one albums for any act, with 15 each.
