Taylor Swift continues to reset records and make history on music charts all around the world on a regular basis. Whether she’s releasing something new or hyping up her fans in a particular nation, she seems to have no issue doing what no one before her could manage. After accomplishing an impressive show of popularity in one of the largest music markets in the world just a few days ago, Swift has matched her own performance.

On the ARIA albums chart—the ranking of the most-consumed albums in Australia—Swift currently claims seven spaces inside the top 10. That ties the all-time record for the most spots one artist has occupied inside the highest tier on the tally at one time.
Who set that record? Why, Swift, of course, and she did so just last week.
Last frame in Australia, Swift became the first artist to fill 70% of all the spots inside the top 10 on the albums chart. While some of the titles move from where they sat last time around, the number of spaces she claims for herself hasn’t changed, so she matches her own historic showing.
Swift’s Midnights rules the ARIA albums chart once again this frame. The set earns its sixteenth turn atop the tally, and it now ranks as one of the titles with the most weeks spent in first place on the list.
Two titles from Swift trade places with one another, giving her control over the next two highest spots again. Lover climbs to No. 2, pushing 1989 (Taylor’s Version) down to third place. Folklore and Reputation are non-movers at Nos. 4 and 5, respectively. That means that Swift dominates the entire top five, not letting any other artist break into the upper half of the top 10.
A little lower, but still inside that top 10 region, come two more Swift albums. Evermore improves from No. 7 to No. 6. Meanwhile, Red (Taylor’s Version) is steady at No. 8.
In addition to her seven top 10 titles on the ARIA albums chart, Swift fills another three spaces just below the loftiest tier. Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and Fearless (Taylor’s Version) are both right where they appeared last week, at Nos. 13 and 14, respectively. Her original 1989 (not to be confused with the re-recording, which currently sits at No. 3), climbs slightly to No. 23.
