Taylor Swift makes Billboard chart history by becoming the first artist to spend 100 total weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100.

The Artist 100 measures artists’ activity across key metrics of music consumption: album sales, track sales, radio airplay and streaming. Using a methodology comprising those metrics, the chart provides a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity.

Billboard launched the Artist 100 in July 2014. Since then, Swift’s No. 1 run is more than twice as long as any other act’s. Here’s an updated look at the artists with the most weeks spent at the top spot (through the latest, March 2, 2024-dated survey).

Trending on Billboard

Swift continues her tear atop the Artist 100 thanks to the continued success of her catalog. Her music generated the most streams among all artists in the Feb. 16-22 tracking week, according to Luminate, while she was also the most-heard artist on radio and the top-selling artist, in terms of both combined album and digital song sales.

That chart domination results in two currently-charting songs on the Billboard Hot 100 – “Cruel Summer” at No. 7 and “Is It Over Now? (Taylor’s Version) [From the Vault]” at No. 18 – and 10 albums on the Billboard 200: No. 6, 1989 (Taylor’s Version); No. 7, Lover; No. 9, Midnights; No. 15, Folklore; No. 21, reputation; No. 29, Speak Now (Taylor’s Version); No. 31, Red (Taylor’s Version); No. 34, Evermore; No. 58, Fearless (Taylor’s Version); and No. 65, 1989.

As Swift spends a milestone 100th week at No. 1 on the Artist 100, she also logs a landmark 500th total week on the chart. She’s the second-longest-charting act in the list’s history, after Drake, who reached the mark four weeks ago.
