Number 1 record held by Beatles for almost 50 years finally toppled
Number 1 record held by Beatles for almost 50 years finally toppled.
The Beatles nearly five decade old record has finally been broken. It’s been a long time coming but The Beatles have been defeated after almost five decades for the fastest accumulation of 12 chart topping albums in the UK.
It took John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr 14 years to land 12 number one albums, completing the feat in 1977 with a live album.
This had secured a record lasting 47 years which had a reputation for being unbeatable – until now.
Unsurprisingly, megastar Taylor Swift, 34, has achieved the same incredible feat in just 11 years and six months with The Tortured Poets Department.
This makes the ME! hitmaker the only artist to have 12 consecutive albums reach the coveted top spot in as many years.
Her latest album has truly caused a stir and while everyone paternity tested her song lyrics, TTPD broke records left right and centre.
