Taylor Swift’s latest album, "Folklore," is still holding strong at the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart for the third week in a row.
This feat marks the first album by a solo woman to spend its first three weeks at No. 1 since 2018.
Before "Folklore," the other female artist was Lady Gaga and the "A Star Is Born" soundtrack, which featured Bradley Cooper. It held the top spot from Oct. 20 to Nov. 3, 2018.

The last time a solo female musician accomplished this was Swift's own album "Reputation" back in 2017. "Folklore" is her eighth studio album.
The continued success of "Folklore" was aided last week by the CD sales in stores. According to Billboard, 136,000 album units were sold in the U.S. in the week ending Aug. 13.
Before that, it was only available for digital download on her website and iTunes.
