Taylor Swift Breaks Records With 15th No. 1 on Top Album Sales Chart With ‘Lover: Live From Paris’


Share this post

Taylor Swift secures her 15th No. 1 on Billboard‘s Top Album Sales chart (dated Jan. 25), as her 2023 set Lover: Live From Paris reenters the list following its reissue on vinyl, as well as its first release as a download album.

With a 15th No. 1 on Top Album Sales, she surpasses JAY-Z for the most No. 1s on the 33-year-old list. The latter racked up 14 leaders between 1998-2017. Billboard’s Top Album Sales chart ranks the top-selling albums of the week based only on traditional album sales. The chart’s history dates back to May 25, 1991, the first week Billboardbegan tabulating charts with electronically monitored piece count information from SoundScan, now Luminate.

The new Jan. 25-dated Top Album Sales chart will be posted in full on Billboard‘s website on Jan. 22.

Lover: Live From Paris was exclusively available through Swift’s official web store and sold 202,500 copies in the United States in the tracking week ending Jan. 16, according to Luminate. Of that sum, 161,000 were vinyl sales — the largest sales week for a live album in the format since Luminate began tracking sales in 1991.

The eight-song live project was initially released back in 2023 exclusively as a limited-edition heart-shaped, color double-vinyl set, sold only through Swift’s web store. It spent one week on Top Album Sales at No. 5 and on the Billboard 200 at No. 58 in 2023. The project commemorates Swift’s City of Lover concert in Paris at the Olympia on Sept. 9, 2019 — her final live show until the kickoff of The Eras Tour in March 2023.

Earlier in January 2025, Lover: Live From Paris was briefly restocked on vinyl in Swift’s web store, with an expected ship date to fans on or before Jan. 20. The set’s sales in the latest tracking week were also bolstered by its limited availability (for the last six hours of the chart’s tracking week) on four digital album variants in Swift’s web store, with three of those each boasting one unique bonus live track culled from The Eras Tour.
