(CNN)Taylor Swift has surpassed Whitney Houston for the most weeks at No. 1 by a woman on the Billboard 200 album chart.

Swift’s latest, “Folklore,” has sat on top for seven non-consecutive weeks, giving her a total of 47 weeks, one more than Houston.

Swift had a recent boost following the Academy of Country Music Awards, where she performed “Betty” off “Folklore” live and released it as a single shortly after.

Houston hit No. 1 with her “Whitney Houston” debut in 1986, and then with “Whitney,” “The Bodyguard” soundtrack and “I Look to You.”

    Adele ranks third.
