A re-recording of Swift's fifth studio album, 1989, released on October 27, it earned 141,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the November 24-30 tracking week, according to Luminate.

Four of Swift's other albums - all former chart toppers - are featured in the latest edition of Billboard 200's top 10: Midnights (3), Folklore (5), Lover (6) and Speak Now (Taylor's Version) (10).

With this, she has become the only living artist to hold at least half of the top 10 concurrently.
