Taylor Swift Breaks Kanye's Number One Album Streak

On Sunday, Billboard announced that Swift's most recent album ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ claimed the number one spot on the Billboard 200 for the 14th week.

Meanwhile West’s ‘Vultures 2’ with Ty Dolla $ign debuted at the number two spot, ending the rappers 19-year streak of number one album debuts, with 11 off his 13 albums previously debuting at number one.

This moment is the latest chapter in an almost 15-year-long feud between 'Ye and Swift.

It all began back in 2009 at MTV’s VMAs where Kanye West stormed the stage during Swift's acceptance speech for the Best Female Music Video award.

West snatched the mic from Swift to proclaim that Beyoncé was more deserving of the award for her ‘Single Ladies’ music video calling it "one of the best videos of all time!"

Later in the night Beyoncé accepted the award for Video Of The Year, bringing Swift back on stage to finish her speech. 

The feud would only continue after West released his 2016 song ‘Famous’ saying  “I feel like me and Taylor might still have s**, I made that b*** famous.” 

When Swift took issue with the lyric West’s then-wife Kim Kardashian would release, now known to be “altered”, clips of a phone call with Swift making it out as if she approved the lyric.

The two would go back and forth with the Kardashian claiming the pop singer was a “snake”. Swift responded in her 2017 'Look What You Made Me Do' music video, showing her sitting on a throne of snakes.

The feud has appeared to die down in recent years with both artists making off-hand mentions of each other and in their songs.
