REPORT: Taylor Swift’s Debut Album Reaches A New Peak Almost 20 Years Later

Taylor Swift is having a landmark week on charts around the world after revealing she has finally acquired the rights to her first six albums. For years, Swift has been steadily re-recording and re-releasing her early catalog in an effort to regain control of her work. Many fans have supported that campaign by deliberately avoiding streaming and purchasing the original versions of the projects that initially made her a star.

Now that she officially owns the masters to those albums, Swift’s entire catalog — especially the first half-dozen studio LPS — is experiencing a renewed surge. One release in particular, Taylor Swift, the self-titled debut that launched her career, is suddenly back in the spotlight.

Taylor Swift Returns to Four U.K. Charts

The country-pop singer’s 2006 debut appears on four charts in the United Kingdom this week, reentering three of them after being absent just days ago. It becomes a strong seller again as fans revisit the only two albums from that era Swift has yet to re-release, Taylor Swift and Reputation.

Although Swift revealed the updated version of Taylor Swift is finished, she hasn’t shared it with the world yet, but that has no longer stopped fans from celebrating the original.

Taylor Swift’s New Peak

The self-titled affair breaks into the top 10 on the Official Album Downloads chart for the very first time this week, as it soars to a new peak of No. 6. Previously, it had only reached as high as No. 40, and that was back in March 2009. The jump grants Swift her milestone fifteenth top 10 hit on the U.K. downloads tally.

Taylor Swift also reaches a new high on the Official Albums Sales chart in the U.K., climbing to No. 29. The record had not placed on the sales ranking in the previous frame, and this moment marks only the second time it’s broken into the top 40 on the list of the top-selling titles in the country. Its prior best was No. 34, which was set just last summer — nearly two decades after its original release.

On the Official Physical Albums chart, the debut reenters at No. 42, though it doesn’t set a new peak on that roster.

Perhaps most notably, Taylor Swift rockets from No. 6 to No. 2 on the Official Country Artists Albums chart, placing Swift just one spot away from claiming yet another week at No. 1. She’s held back from the summit by I’m the Problem by Morgan Wallen, which refuses to budge.
