More than 12 years after Taylor Swift earned her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart in 2008 with Fearless, she’s on top with a re-recorded version of the album, titled Fearless (Taylor’s Version). Thd album is Swift’s ninth No. 1 and scores the biggest week of 2021 for any album.
The original Fearless debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated Nov. 29, 2008, and spent 11 nonconsecutive weeks on the chart. It sold 10.28 million copies in the U.S. and is Swift’s second-biggest-selling release behind her 2014 album 1989.
Fearless (Taylor’s Version) contains 26-tracks, including re-recordings of all 13 songs on Fearless, along with the six bonus songs added to a 2009 reissue of Fearless (dubbed the Platinum Edition) and the 2010 single “Today Was a Fairytale.” Beyond those 20 re-recordings, Fearless (Taylor’s Version) also includes six newly recorded “from the vault” songs that were written for the original Fearless album, but were never recorded and released until now.
