Taylor Swift dominates the UK singles and albums charts

This week’s British chart pitted two of the century’s biggest musical heavyweights against each other; Taylor Swift, with her album “Midnights” and Arctic Monkeys, with “The Car.” Taylor hits the top spot for the ninth time in a row – all her albums since “Red” (2012) have been at the top, as well as “Taylor’s versions” of “Fearless” and “Red”. .
