Talk about a hitmaker!

Taylor Swift has earned top honors as the artist with the longest-charting album on Billboard's Top 200 charts, Billboard has announced.

Swift's self-titled debut, released in October 2006, now spends its 157th week on the chart, more weeks than any other album this decade. The 19-year-old takes the honor from band Nickelback.

See what Taylor and the other stars wore to this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

What's more? Since surpassing the 151-week chart life of Shania Twain's Come On Over, Swift's disc also becomes the longest-charting album from a female country artist in the Nielsen SoundScan era.

Check out the day's top celeb news photos.

To promote her current album, Fearless, Swift will host NBC's Saturday Night Live on Nov. 7, also serving as the night's music guest. Later that week, Swift will perform on the CMA Awards, where she is the youngest artist in history to be nominated for the organization's Entertainer of the Year Award.

    she is a very cute young woman but her singing abilities (LIVE) or more than limited. She is a studio creation. If she wins entertainer of the year then it has all gone to hellllllllll...cut her hair and put 40 pounds on her and see how famous she is then...have we all gone tone deaf?
