Taylor Swift has topped the Billboard Artist 100 chart for the 40th total week, becoming the first-ever artist to achieve the remarkable feat.

The 30-year-old’s record-breaking performance is largely owed to the success of her most recent album, Folkore, which dropped in late July and amassed a total of 846,000 album-equivalent units in the two weeks after its debut; the collection is currently enjoying its 3rd week atop the Billboard 200.

Joining her on the list of artists to have topped the chart for the most number of weeks are Drake with 31 weeks, The Weeknd with 20 weeks, Post Malone with 14 weeks, and Ariana Grande with 13 weeks.

Meanwhile, three of the songs from Folklore feature on the Billboard Hot 100, including “Cardigan” at No. 24, “The 1” at No. 50, and at No. 61, “Exile” featuring Bon Iver.
