Singer celebrates smashing UK chart records as album soars to top spot

Taylor Swift has been celebrating after securing the coveted double chart domination after her album Midnights and its lead single Anti-Hero both landed at number one.

The Shake It Off hitmaker pipped the Arctic Monkeys to the top spot, with her tenth LP smashing a series of UK chart records.

The electronica-style album has become the fastest-selling album of the year so far, overtaking Harry Styles’ chart-topping Harry’s House which previously held the 2022 title, according to the Official Charts Company.

Midnights also claims the biggest first week of album sales since Adele’s 30 was released last November and takes the title of the most streamed album of the year in its opening week with 72.5 million streams across the seven days.

It is also Taylor’s highest-selling album in the UK, racking up 204,000 chart sales in seven days, more than doubling her previous personal best of 90,300 which she achieved with her album 1989, released in 2014.
