Impressive: Taylor Swift’s ongoing popularity is definitely noteworthy. Which K-pop acts made it into the top 10 alongside her?

Taylor Swift was the clear winner of the first half of 2024 as far as music charts are concerned. Not only was her 11th studio album, The Tortured Poets Department, the most popular record in the US, but the top-selling album also broke records on the traditional album sales front and digital downloads at the midyear point.

In addition to being perched at the top, The Eras Tour concert-maker occupied several spots on the top 10 best-selling albums of the year in the US at the midyear point. Alongside her latest musical release, her previous fan-favourite albums – 1989 (Taylor’s Version), Lover, Folklore and Midnights firmly held on to five out of ten ranks. Nevertheless, Poets’ aura was unbeatable, charting as the only album in the top 10 selling chart with sales recorded in millions.
