Taylor Swift has extended her record for topping the Billboard Artist 100 chart to a 59th week, once again cementing her rank as the top musical act in the United States.
Eight of Swift's albums are placed on the Billboard 200 chart, including the hit Midnights at No.2.
Two songs from Midnights find a place on the Billboard Hot 100: "Anti-Hero" and "Lavender Haze."
With the latest top rank, Taylor has become the first artist to reign at No. 1 on the Artist 100 chart in eight separate years: 2014, 2015, 2017, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022 and 2023.
SZA remains at No. 2, Morgan Wallen holds at No. 3, Harry Styles jumps to No. 4 and The Weeknd is ranked No. 5 in the chart dated January 7.
The Artist 100 measures artist activity across key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay and streaming to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.
