Taylor Swift Makes History, #1 on Top 100 and Top 200 In The Same Week

[RAMROD 96,626]

Taylor Swift's "Cardigan" blasts in at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart.

The song is from Swift's new LP Folklore, which launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, as Swift becomes the first artist ever to debut at No. 1 on both the Hot 100 and Billboard 200 in the same week.

Folklore was released July 24 on Republic Records, after being first teased by Swift only the day before.

"Cardigan" is joined by two other songs from the set that debut in the Hot 100's top 10: "The 1," at No. 4, and "Exile," featuring Bon Iver, at No. 6.

The Hot100 is for singles, not albums. She's the first artist to have a single and album debut at #1 for the same charting week.

I like Taylor, but I really really don't understand the hype around this album.
