“Singer gets first national chart ink exclusively in Billboard,” read a caption on page 65 of the issue dated July 1, 2006. “Song title name-checks fellow artist.”

The blurb included an arrow pointing directly to the single debuting at the No. 60 anchor spot on the Hot Country Songs chart: “Tim McGraw,” by then-16-year-old Taylor Swift.

By the end of the first quarter of the 21st century, Swift had rewritten numerous vaunted Billboard chart records.

As Billlboard celebrates the first 25 years of the 21st century with charts recapping the top artists, albums and songs in that span, we’re also looking back at some of the most impressive achievements on the Billboard 200 albums chart and the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart earned by Swift — the No. 1 act on Billboard’s Top Artists of the 21st Century retrospective.

Below, check out 13 of Swift’s most news-making feats on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 through the end of 2024 (and run down even more here).

Plus, browse highlights of Billboard’s Top Artists of the 21st Century chart and the entire 100-position ranking in Billboard’s charts menu. Then, check back Thursday (Jan. 9) for the unveiling of Billboard’s Top Billboard 200 Albums of the 21st Century chart and Friday (Jan. 10) for the premiere of Billboard’s Top Hot 100 Songs of the 21st Century chart.

Billboard’s Top Artists, Top Billboard 200 Albums and Top Hot 100 Songs of the 21st Century recaps reflect performance on weekly charts dated Jan. 1, 2000, through Dec. 28, 2024. The Top Artists category ranks the best-performing acts in that span based on activity on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100. (Titles released prior to mid-1999 are excluded, although such entries that appeared on the Billboard 200 or Hot 100 in that span contribute to the calculation of the Top Artists chart.)
