Thanks to “The Life of a Showgirl: The Encore,” Taylor Swift<\/a> has added another rare achievement to her resum\u00e9.<\/p>\n

The deluxe edition of Swift’s 12th album<\/a> added four new songs to the tracklist, including “Patient Zero,”<\/a> which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 \u2014 becoming the album’s third song to reach the chart’s summit, following “The Fate of Ophelia<\/a>” and “Opalite.”<\/p>\n

Since Billboard launched the Hot 100 in 1958 as the definitive all-genre singles chart in the US, only 33 albums have spawned three or more No. 1 hits<\/a> (not counting greatest-hits compilations).<\/p>\n

Counting songs that were released later on deluxe editions and reissues, Katy Perry’s “Teenage Dream”<\/a> holds the all-time record with six No. 1 songs, followed by Michael Jackson’s “Bad” with five.<\/p>\n

This elite group of musical blockbusters seems to be getting more exclusive over time: Only 12 of the qualifying albums were released in the 21st century. “The Life of a Showgirl<\/a>” is the first female album to achieve the feat in over a decade, since Swift’s own “1989”<\/a> in 2014.<\/p>\n
