No one could stop Morgan Warren from dominating the Billboard charts with his latest album, One Thing At A Time, for 12 weeks. It’s not metallica. Not Ed Sheeran. It’s not a solo project by the Jonas Brothers or two members of BTS.
Then came the deluxe reissue of Taylor Swift’s seven-month-old LP, Midnights.
Two extended editions with bonus tracks helped “Midnight” return to number one, the sixth time it has held the top spot. One of his newer versions is called “The Late Night Edition” mainly sold It was sold as a CD during Swift’s current stadium tour, but was also available for download from the singer’s website for 24 hours.

In the United States, “Midnight” has sold nearly five million copies and has been streamed 3.2 billion times.
More recently, Swift’s Eras Tour has become a cultural mogul, and her extensive catalog has also been dotting the top of the album charts. Last week, Swift won nine Top 40 titles (her 2019 “Lover” was No. 6 this week). announced Most recently, a re-recorded version of her 2010 album “Speak Now,” which included hits “Mine,” “Back to December,” and “Mean,” will be released in July.
With the return of “Midnight”, Warren’s “One Thing at a Time” rose to number two. This 12-week streak was historic, falling just one week short of the record set by Stevie Wonder for an album in 1977. Open at No. 1 and hold there. Warren’s last release, ‘Dangerous: The Double Album’, reached No. 5 this week, marking his 122nd Top 10 entry.
