The American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift has released 10 original studio albums, 4 re-recorded studio albums, 5 extended plays, and 4 live albums. She has sold an estimated 114 million album units worldwide[1] and, in terms of pure sales, tallied 46.6 million in the United States and 7 million in the United Kingdom.[2][3] According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), her albums have garnered 51 million certified units in the United States.[4] As of February 2024, she is the solo artist with the most weeks (69) at number one on the US Billboard 200.[5][6]

Swift signed a recording contract with Big Machine Records in 2005 and released six albums with the label. Her self-titled debut album (2006) spent 157 weeks on the Billboard 200 by December 2009 and registered more weeks on the chart than any other album in the 2000s decade.[7] Her second, Fearless (2008), was the only album from the 2000s decade to spend one year in the top 10 of the Billboard 200[8] and was certified Diamond by the RIAA.[9] Fearless was Swift's first album to top the charts in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.[10] Her next studio albums—Speak Now (2010), Red (2012), 1989 (2014), and Reputation (2017)—all debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and each of them sold over one million copies within the first release week in the United States.[11] All four albums reached number one in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand;[12][13] and the latter three all reached number one in the United Kingdom.[14][15]

Swift signed with Universal Music Group label Republic Records in 2018.[16] Her next three studio albums under Republic—Lover (2019), Folklore (2020), and Evermore (2020)—all debuted atop the Billboard 200.[17] Lover was the global best-selling album by a solo artist of 2019[18] and was Swift's first to reach number one in Spain[19] and Sweden.[20] Folklore made Swift the first musician to have seven albums each selling at least 500,000 copies within the first week of release in the United States.[21] Her tenth original studio album, Midnights (2022), was her fifth to sell over a million US first-week copies.[22] It broke records including the largest streaming week for a US female album and the most single-day and single-week streams on Spotify.[23]

After a dispute over the ownership of her back catalog in 2019, Swift has released four re-recorded albumsFearless (Taylor's Version) (2021), Red (Taylor's Version) (2021), Speak Now (Taylor's Version) (2023), and 1989 (Taylor's Version) (2023)—all of which reached number one in the English-speaking countries: Australia, Canada,[12] Ireland,[24] New Zealand,[13] the United Kingdom,[15] and the United States.[25] Fearless (Taylor's Version) was also the first re-recorded album to top the Billboard 200.[26] 1989 (Taylor's Version) became Swift's sixth album to sell over a million US first-week copies and broke the record for the most US first-week vinyl sales in the 21st century.[27] With 1989 (Taylor's Version), Swift became the first artist to have the best-selling US album of a calendar year seven times, after Fearless (2009), 1989 (2014), Reputation (2017), Lover (2019), Folklore (2020), and Midnights (2022).[28] Swift's eleventh studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, is slated for release on April 19, 2024.
