The highly anticipated chart battle between Taylor Swift and Belgian artist Pommelien has concluded,with Swift securing the number one position on the Ultratop album charts. The outcome follows a week of speculation regarding which artist would claim the top spot.
Pommelien, releasing her album “Gedoe” on October 3rd, remained unfazed by the timing coinciding with Swift’s release. “I just chose October 3rd,” she stated, “as the date for the release of ‘Business’ and I kept it, even tho Swift had done the same simultaneously occurring.”
