Newsypeople- Taylor Swift continues to dominate the Australian charts, setting new records and milestones with her music. Her album “The Tortured Poets Department” has made a significant impact, not only topping the ARIA Albums Chart but also breaking several records in the process. This achievement marks Swift’s 13th No. 1 album in Australia, placing her in a tie for third place with Madonna for the most No. 1 albums by a solo female artist in ARIA chart history, surpassing Madonna to claim the position. This accomplishment is particularly remarkable considering that Swift has achieved this feat with a variety of albums, showcasing her enduring popularity and influence in the Australian music scene.

Her collaboration with Post Malone, “Fortnight,” has opened at No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, marking her 12th leader on that tally. This achievement positions Swift third on the all-time list of artists with the most singles chart leaders in Australia, trailing only Elvis Presley and The Beatles.

This record-breaking performance further solidifies Swift’s status as a dominant force in the Australian music industry.
Swift success in Australia is also reflected in her physical album sales and streaming numbers. “The Tortured Poets Department” has been reported as the most-sold album on vinyl in ARIA history, the most-streamed LP in its opening week, and has achieved the biggest album debut since Adele’s “25” in 2015. This level of success underscores Swift’s continued relevance and appeal to Australian audiences.

Swift’s visit to Australia as part of “The Eras Tour” in late 2023 further fueled her success, with sold-out shows in Melbourne and Sydney, as well as a six-night stand in Singapore. These performances not only showcased Swift’s talent but also contributed to the buzz and anticipation surrounding her music in Australia, further solidifying her position as a beloved artist in the country.
