\n\tThis week, Taylor Swift and The Beatles are meeting up on the Billboard<\/em> charts in more ways than one.<\/p>\n

\n\tFirst, both appear in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 albums chart, with Swift\u2019s The Life of a Showgirl <\/em>spending its 14th week at No. 1 and The Beatles\u2019 deluxe edition of Rubber Soul<\/em> arriving at No. 4 following its own stint up top in 1966. In addition, Swift\u2019s latest week at No. 1 on the chart means she and The Beatles are the only acts to ever spend 100 weeks in the Billboard 200 top spot (The Beatles have 132 weeks to Swift\u2019s now-100).<\/p>\n
