Taylor Swift has become the first woman in history to have four albums in the Billboard Top 10 chart simultaneously.

Following the release of her latest album '‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’, the US pop star has become the first woman in history with four albums in the Top 10 Billboard Chart at the same time.

This is the first time that this feat has been achieved since Billboard began merging mono and stereo album charts into one list in August 1963.

Taylor Swift is the first artist to accomplish this since Herb Albert in 1966, with 'Purple Rain' singer Prince being the only other artist who had more albums in the chart simultaneously. The late singer had five albums in the top 10 at the same time, following his death in May 2016.

'‘Speak Now (Taylor’s Version)’  also earned Swift's 12th Number one album, earning her the record of most No 1 albums by a female performer, beating the previous record held by Barbara Streisland, who had 11 number one albums.

The '22' singer is currently tied with Drake for Number one albums, with Jay-Z (14), and The Beatles (19) out in front with most Number 1 Albums ever. 

Due to popular demand, Taylor Swift added a third date at Dublin's Aviva Stadium, as part of her Eras Tour.
