Taylor Swift makes history with her latest release Fearless (Taylor’s Version), which debuts at No. 1 on the U.K. albums chart. The set gives the singer her third ruler in less than a year and her seventh overall, which stands as one of the most impressive counts among female musicians of all time.

Behind her, no other new titles kick off their time on the tally inside the top 10 in the U.K., which opens things up for returning champions from the likes of Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, The Weeknd and Pop Smoke.

The next two highest-ranking titles on the latest edition of the U.K. albums chart both rise from where they sat last week, with Justin Bieber’s Justice climbing to No. 2 while Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia improves to No. 3, an impressive placement for a set that’s already spent more than a year on the list.

The best-performing of four titles that return to the top 10 this frame is Ariana Grande’s Positions, which benefits from its release on vinyl. The album rockets from No. 49 to No. 4, a massive leap at any time for any project on the ranking.

Behind that successful release comes another, as Harry Styles’ classic rock-leaning sophomore effort Fine Line bolts from No. 13 back into the top five, settling at No. 5.

The Weeknd sees his greatest hits compilation The Highlights, released just before his performance during the Super Bowl halftime show earlier this year, push from No. 11 to No. 6. Both Fine Line and The Highlights missed becoming No. 1 titles for the musicians behind them by just one space.

Fleetwood Mac’s 50 Years – Don’t Stop falls one space to No. 7, putting it right ahead of Central Cee’s improving Wild West at No. 8. Queen’s Greatest Hits is stationary at No. 9.

Late rapper Pop Smoke’s posthumous release Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon surges back into the top 10 once again, flying from No. 15 to No. 10. The artist’s first proper album peaked at No. 1 last year.
