Taylor SwiftTaylor Swift’s domination is complete.
On her new album, The Tortured Poets Department, the American superstar asks: Who’s Afraid Of Little Old Me?
As she adds, you should be.
When you combine this week’s Top 40 singles and albums, the scoreboard is:
Taylor Swift – 37
Australia – 0
For the first time ever, one artist occupies the entire Top 10 on ARIA’s Singles Chart, led by Swift’s 12th chart-topping single, Fortnight, her collab with Post Malone.
Overall, Swift has 27 singles in the Top 40 – a new record.
There is not a single local entry in the Top 40 – singles or albums.
The highest-placed Aussie single is Cyril’s remake of Chris Norman and Suzi Quatro’s Stumblin’ In at #45, after spending seven weeks in the Top 40.
Just one Australian single has cracked the Top 10 this year – Dom Dolla’s Saving Up spent one week at #10 in the second week of February.
This week’s highest-ranking Aussie album is The Boxer, the new release for Mark Seymour & The Undertow, which debuts at #41.
Four months into 2024, no local albums have hit number one. The highest-charting homegrown hit has been Ricki-Lee’s On My Own, which debuted at #3.
Swift has had four number-one albums this year—1989 (Taylor’s Version), Midnights, Lover, and The Tortured Poets Department. With her new album arriving at #1, Swift has now had 13 chart-topping albums in Australia—the most by any woman. Jimmy Barnes is the overall leader, with 15 solo chart-toppers and five with Cold Chisel. The Beatles have 14.
Swift has 12 #1 singles, trailing only The Beatles (26) and Elvis Presley (14).
Swift owns more than one-third of this week’s Top 100 Singles Chart, with 34 entries – again, a record.
