Taylor Swift Breaks Billboard Record

Los Angeles, CA (CNS) - At just 19 years old, country music superstar Taylor Swift continues to shatter records, this time on the Billboard albums chart. This week her debut album, "Taylor Swift," becomes the longest charting album of the century.

Her self-titled debut spends 157 weeks on the chart this week, taking the title for the album spending the most number of weeks inside Billboard's Top 200 Albums. The previous record holder was Nickelback, whose 2005's "All the Right Reasons" spent 156 weeks on the chart.

Her debut, which was released in October of 2006, has sold over 4 million copies to date. Also selling 4 million copies is her album, "Fearless," which she re-released as a Platinum Edition last week, including the new single "Jump, Then Fall" and "Untouchable."

She will also be joining the shortlist of stars like Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, and Janet Jackson to both host and perform on "Saturday Night Live." Swift takes double duties on November 7th, becoming only the second female country artist to do so since Dolly Parton over twenty years ago.

Taylor Swift enters the history books this week, claiming the Billboard record for the longest- charting album of this century. It's only for the 21st century, but nine years in, it's still pretty impressive.

Released in October of 2006, Taylor’s self-titled debut CD now spends its 157th week on Billboard’s Top 200 albums chart, more weeks on the chart than any album this decade, surpassing the record previously held by Nickelback.Sorry, Chad.

Taylor also holds the Billboard record for most Top 10 debuts in a calendar year, and is the only solo female act in the 44-year history of the Billboard Country Chart to score five Top 10 singles from a debut album. Taylor holds the Billboard record for the longest-charting female Country star in the Nielsen SoundScan era, and is also the only Country artist in history to have a No. 1 single on Billboard’s Nielsen BDS Hot 100 Airplay chart.

This Saturday, Nov. 7, Taylor is set to host Saturday Night Live (NBC), and will also serve as the show’s musical guest that evening.

Taylor will appear tonight, Nov. 2, on NBC’s "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon," and is set to perform on the CMA Awards on ABC on Nov. 11.

It is yet another album reissue that leads to the most intriguing Hot 100 happenings however. Taylor Swift, with each of the new tracks on her "Fearless (Platinum Edition)" album, becomes the first artist in the history of the Hot 100 to debut five songs within the top 30 in a single week. "Jump Then Fall" fares the best, opening at No. 10, followed by "Untouchable" (No. 19), "The Other Side of the Door" (No. 22), "Superstar" (No. 27) and "Come In With the Rain" (No. 30). Those tracks join three other Swift singles on the list. "Forever & Always," which appears in a redone version on the "Platinum Edition" album, re-enters at No. 34, joining chart holdovers "You Belong With Me" (No. 14) and "Fifteen" (No. 49).

Swift's eight chart listings give her the record for most charted titles in a single week by a female artist. Among all artists, the Beatles lead with 14 entries (April 11, 1964).
