Taylor Swift, Meet The Beatles: How This Dynamic Duo Tells the Story of Now & Then on the Billboard Charts

Taylor Swift, Meet The Beatles: How This Dynamic Duo Tells the Story of Now & Then on the Billboard Charts

This week, Taylor Swift and The Beatles are meeting up on the Billboard charts in more ways than one.

First, both appear in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart, with Swift’s The Life of a Showgirl spending its 14th week at No. 1 and The Beatles’ deluxe edition of Rubber Soul arriving at No. 4 following its own stint up top in 1966. In addition, Swift’s latest week at No. 1 on the chart means she and The Beatles are the only acts to ever spend 100 weeks in the Billboard 200 top spot (The Beatles have 132 weeks to Swift’s now-100).

On this week’s Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking about some of the things these two superstar acts have in common across their respective eras and when Swift might reach (or surpass) some big Beatles landmarks, like their record 20 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on how the three acts with the most No. 1s on the Billboard 200 — The Beatles, Swift and Drake — are all in the top 10 together for the very first time. Plus, could Tame Impala and JENNIE’s “Dracula” take a bite out of the No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 soon? And, ADÉLA gets her first Hot 100 top 10 with the viral hit “Nicole Kidman.” And we’re also breaking down the big viral news story of the week: Kelly Clarkson’s heated back-and-forth with a Brooklyn art and magic shop.
