Swift's Albums Hit New Highs After Masters Buyback

Taylor Swift's reacquisition of the rights to her first six albums has sparked a global resurgence in her music's popularity, with albums like Fearless and her self-titled debut achieving new career peaks in both the UK and US charts. Fearless reached its highest-ever spot on the UK Official Albums Sales chart, while Taylor Swift entered the UK top 10 downloads for the first time since its release nearly 20 years ago. Reputation saw a 1,184% surge in US sales and re-entered the Billboard 200 at No. 5 with 42,000 equivalent album units and nearly 35 million streams in a week. Other albums, including Speak Now, Red, and 1989, also experienced significant streaming increases. Digital platforms have updated credits to reflect Swift's ownership, and fans are now strongly supporting the original albums. Swift has said future re-recordings would be celebratory rather than corrective, given her regained ownership.
