Taylor Swift’s ‘Reputation’ Reenters Top 5 of Billboard Album Chart After She Buys Rights to Original Albums


Taylor Swift's 'Reputation' reentered Billboard's top 5. Seventeen bowed at No. 2. Miley Cyrus' 'Something Beautiful' had a disappointing opening.

For years, that has been the question for Taylor Swift fans, who have largely considered that album one of their top favorites yet felt conflicted about consuming it, since it remained one of the records that she had not yet re-recorded after her contentious split with her original label and the succession of companies that purchased her catalog. Less ethically conflicted fans had already been streaming the album in advance of what turned out to be a false expectation that Swift was about to announce a “Reputation (Taylor’s Version)” re-recording over Memorial Day weekend, instead of the much bigger revelation she offered them the following Friday. Digital services, meanwhile, are still in the process of changing the official record company credits for the original six albums she purchased from Shamrock Holdings last month.
