American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift charted three number one albums this year—the most for any artist: her 2020 studio album Evermore and 2021 re-recordings Fearless (Taylor's Version) and Red (Taylor's Version); they collectively spent six weeks atop the Billboard 200. Fearless (Taylor's Version) became the first re-recorded album in history to top the chart. American singer-songwriter Olivia Rodrigo's debut studio album, Sour, is the year's second longest reigning number-one album of the Billboard 200 and the longest-reigning by a female artist, with five non-consecutive weeks spent atop the chart.
