Taylor Swift's career began with a record deal with Big Machine Records in
2005 and the release of her eponymous debut album in 2006. With 157 weeks
on the Billboard 200 by December 2009, the album was the longest-charting
album of the 2000s decade. Swift's second studio album, Fearless (2008),
was a breakthrough commercial success. It topped the Billboard 200 for 11
weeks and was the only album from the 2000s to spend a year of release in
the top 10. Her third studio album, the self-written Speak Now (2010),
spent six weeks atop the Billboard 200 and also peaked atop the charts in
Australia, Canada, and New Zealand. Swift's fourth studio album, Red
(2012), was her first number-one album in the United Kingdom. It also
topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, and the
United States. Swift scored her fourth US number-one album with 1989
(2014), which logged 11 weeks atop the Billboard 200 and received 9×
Platinum certifications from the RIAA. 1989 has sold over 10 million
copies worldwide. Her sixth studio album, Reputation (2017), was her
fourth consecutive album to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 with
first-week sales of over one million copies. Her seventh studio album,
Lover (2019), was 2019's best-selling studio album worldwide. Swift's
eighth studio album, Folklore (2020), broke the record for the most
first-day album streams by a female artist on Spotify. Folklore helped
Swift accumulate 48 weeks at number one, making her the woman with the
most weeks atop the chart. Her ninth studio album, Evermore (2020),
debuted atop the Billboard 200. Swift released Fearless (Taylor's Version)
(2021), a re-recorded version of the original Fearless. It debuted atop
the Billboard 200, becoming the first ever re-recorded album to top the
chart and making Swift the only female artist to amass three number one
albums in less than a year.
