Lover
Lover (2019) is the seventh studio album by the American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. It was released on August 23, 2019, through Republic Records. The album is her first after she departed from Big Machine Records , which caused a public dispute over the ownership of Swift's past albums.
In the United States, the album sold around 450,000 copies in its first day and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with a first-week tally of 867,000 album-equivalent units, of which 679,000 were pure sales. It is Swift's sixth number-one album and made her the first female artist to have six albums sell more than 500,000 copies each in one week. In its opening week, Lover outsold all of the other 199 albums on the chart combined, becoming the first album to do so since Swift's Reputation (2017). All of the album's 18 tracks simultaneously charted on the Billboard Hot 100, breaking the record for the most simultaneous chart entries for a female artist. With Lover, Swift returned to the top of the Billboard Artist 100 chart for a thirty-seventh week, extending her all-time record as the longest-running number-one act. By June 2024, the album had spent 250 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart.
