Taylor Swift still has several albums to re-record and release as “Taylor’s Version,” a label that fans look for when listening to her work, before her plan is finished. That means she owns the music, and the financial benefits are greater for her when that title is purchased or streamed. The singer has released several updated takes on her early full-lengths—with two more to go—and a handful of them have been around long enough to reach special milestones on some of Billboard’s most important charts.
One of her biggest re-recordings, Red (Taylor’s Version), has long ranked among the longest-charting projects from the series. Fans continue to consume the set in large numbers every week in America, and the set becomes her second from the string of full-lengths to hit a lofty number.
Red (Taylor’s Version) has lived on the Billboard 200 for 150 weeks, as of this frame. This time around, the re-recorded take on her early effort Red rises slightly, pushing from No. 74 to No. 68.
In the past tracking week, Red (Taylor’s Version) shifted another 13,000 equivalent units throughout the country. That figure includes a little more than 1,800 pure purchases, as lovers of all things Swift are still buying the title in healthy sums—especially for an album that’s already been out in the world for nearly three years.
Red (Taylor’s Version) marks Swift’s second re-recording to reach 150 weeks on Billboard’s ranking of the most-consumed albums in the country. Fearless (Taylor’s Version) was the first to do so, and it’s not far ahead of its successor. That title has now spent 164 stays on the tally, though it doesn’t add to that number this time around, as it’s no longer present on the Billboard 200.
Looking at all of Swift’s albums, Red (Taylor’s Version) ranks as her eleventh-longest-charting on the list. Her project with the most time spent on the Billboard 200 remains 1989, which is in a distant first place. That bestseller has racked up more than 500 weeks on the tally.
Red (Taylor’s Version) arrived in November 2021, a little more than half a year after Fearless (Taylor’s Version), which kicked off this years-long run of hit re-recordings. The title opened atop the Billboard 200, spending just one frame in charge of the list. It is one of her 14 career No. 1s and 17 top 10s on the ranking.
