Skip to main content Trending on Billboard On charts dated Aug. 8, 2020, Taylor Swift made two of the grandest entrances in Billboard history. That week, her album Folklore launched at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and “Cardigan,” from the set, bounded in at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Dating to the charts’ starts in 1956 and 1958, respectively, it marked the first time that an artist had debuted atop Billboard’s premier album and song charts simultaneously. (Swift reacted to the feat at the time by posting a GIF of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the movie San Andreas, simply marveling, “Oh my God.”) Here Are All the Billboard Chart Records Taylor Swift Breaks (or Extends) With ‘The Life of a Showgirl’ What started as record-establishing soon became record-extending for Swift, who has upped her career count to seven simultaneous arrivals at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 through the charts dated Oct. 18, 2025, when The Life of a Showgirl and “The Fate of Ophelia” began at the summits of both surveys. To date, artists have debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 together 17 times, with Swift’s seven such starts followed by Drake’s three. Zach Bryan, BTS, Future, Ariana Grande, Kendrick Lamar, Olivia Rodrigo and Morgan Wallen having crowned both rankings simultaneously upon their bows one time each. Meanwhile, Swift is the only act to maintain commands of the charts in those instances beyond their first weeks, with Midnights and “Anti-Hero” spending their first two weeks at No. 1 in 2022, while The Tortured Poets Department and “Fortnight,” featuring Post Malone, repeated the achievement in 2024. In November 2025, The Life of a Showgirl and “The Fate of Ophelia” made for the first occurrence of an artist debuting at No. 1 on the tallies simultaneously and holding in their top spots for three straight weeks. Here’s a look at all the times that artists have made Billboard 200 and Hot 100 debuts twice as nice, opening at No. 1 on the charts side-by-side. (Helping the chances of the honor, artists have more commonly not released preview singles from albums, instead opting to premiere sets in their entireties all at once, in recent years.)
