Taylor Swift’s Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) and her self-titled debut reenter Billboard’s Top … More
There are rumors that Taylor Swift is working on a new album — possibly another massive pop collection. For now, the singer, her team, and her label are remaining mum on the subject, as is typically the case, as the world will hear from her when she’s good and ready.
As millions prepare for what may be another major pop moment, Swift’s country roots are once again visible on the Billboard charts as fans revisit some of the earliest tunes in her discography, cuts and projects that helped turn her into the household name she is today.
Two Swift Titles Return to the Top Country Albums Chart
Swift fills two spaces on the Top Country Albums chart this week. Both of her titles return to Billboard’s ranking of the most consumed country collections in the United States after being absent just last frame. Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) reenters the tally at No. 48, while her self-titled debut project is back at No. 50, landing in the lowest rung on the roster.
A Look Back at Taylor Swift’s Country Beginnings
Swift began her career with her self-titled effort, which dropped in 2006. That set — released when she was still just a teenager — produced hits like “Our Song” and “Teardrops on My Guitar” and quickly turned her into a household name.
Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) arrived in the summer of 2023 as part of her ongoing re-recording series, which may now be over. The updated take on Speak Now came 13 years after the original and featured slight reworkings, as well as previously unreleased tracks.
Chart-Topping Success With Country Titles
Taylor Swift and Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) rank among the singer’s eight No. 1s on the Top Country Albums chart. She’s only missed the top spot with two projects, and one of them peaked at No. 2. Her self-titled full-length spent 24 weeks ruling the list, while Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) managed only a pair of frames in first place. The original Speak Now, however, held on for a lucky 13 stays — her favorite number.
Vinyl and Sales Charts
At the moment, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version) can only be found on the Top Country Albums chart, while Swift’s self-titled effort is rising across multiple rankings this week. The full-length that started it all lifts to No. 14 on the Vinyl Albums roster and jumps 20 spots to No. 25 on the Top Album Sales list.
