One week after setting chart history by joining an elite club where only Whitney Houston was the only other female member, Taylor Swift continued her Billboard 200 reign as her 1989 stayed at Number One for an 11th non-consecutive week. Swift’s fifth LP sold another 108,000 units in its 15th week on the charts.
Since its release 15 weeks ago, 1989 has topped the charts 11 times and finished Number Two four times, according to Billboard. Even after nearly four months, Swift won’t drop out of the top two. Considering hers was the only album to sell over 100,000 copies last week, it doesn’t seem like she’ll be departing the upper echelon of the Billboard 200 anytime soon. Only four albums since 2000 have spent over 10 weeks at Number One: Adele’s 21, the Frozen soundtrack, and Swift’s Fearless and 1989.
