Prince holds the overall record for most simultaneous albums on the US Billboard 200. Following his death on 12 April 2016, fans paid tribute by revisiting his back catalogue and sent 19 of his albums into the chart at the same time, including five Top 10 entries.
According to the Guinness World Records website, the “Love Story” hitmaker first achieved this on March 4, and did it again on May 6, with the following chart positions:
- folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions (No.3)
- Midnights (No.4)
- Lover (No.10)
- folklore (No.12)
- 1989 (No.21)
- reputation (No.22)
- Red (Taylor’s Version) (No.27)
- evermore (No.29)
- Fearless (Taylor’s Version) (No.41)
- Speak Now (No.66)
Two months earlier, the same albums were on the countdown except for folklore: The Long Pond Studio Sessions it was Lover: Live from Paris completing the list at No.58 instead. So, what other records has Taylor Swift broken? Here’s everything you need to know.
