Taylor Swift found herself back at the top of the Billboard Top Country Albums Chart with her RED (Taylor’s version) album. That also added to a record for being the female artist on the chart with the most weeks at number one with a combined total of 98, besting Shania Twain‘s 97-week run. Twain shared the news saying she was proud of Swift and that records are meant to be made and broken.
Let’s Go Girls!!!! Proud of you @taylorswift13. Historical records are meant to be made and then broken. The baton is meant to be passed on to new generations. Unstoppable young female country artists are inspite of the hurdles #trailblazers https://t.co/SZORYzSay6

While Swift passed that record Shania is still the top-selling female country artist of all time though with more than 90 million albums sold worldwide and her album Come On Over is the best-selling album in Soundscan history by a female artist in any genre with an incredible 40 million units sold worldwide. Wow!
