Taylor Swift has gone number one once again as her album Fearless (Taylor’s Version) has taken the top spot on charts around the world.

In the UK, the album went number one on the UK Albums Chart giving Swift her third number one album in less than a year. In the span of 259 days, Taylor has recorded three number one albums on the chart, the aforementioned Fearless (Taylor’s Version) as well as her surprise records Folklore and Evermore.

In doing so, Swift broke a 54 year record previously held by The Beatles for the fastest time of having three albums go number one on the chart.

Fearless (Taylor’s Version) has not only been certified as a fan favorite, but Swift herself is a massive fan of the re-released album.

Swift spoke with Audacy’s Katie Neal last week and explained why she thinks the re-recorded tracks are better than the originals.

“I think going back in and re-doing it, I was so happy and excited to sort of bring my voice and my insight of having lived 15 years plus longer than this album to kind of bring that to the album if that makes sense,” she said. “You know, to kind of bring as much wisdom as you have and a voice that’s sung more concerts, learned more tricks… it was fun to think that it could possibly even be improved.”
