Taylor Swift is back at the top of the charts with her album “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” which has skyrocketed to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, dated November 11. This accomplishment marks Swift’s 13th No. 1 on the chart.

The album made an impressive debut with 1.653 million equivalent album units earned in the United States during the week ending November 2, according to Luminate. This remarkable feat represents the largest week for any album, in terms of units earned, since Adele’s “25” launched with 3.482 million units in the week ending November 25, 2015.

A significant portion of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)”‘s first-week units, approximately 1.359 million, came from traditional album sales. This is Swift’s highest sales week for any of her albums, surpassing her previous record set when the original “1989” album debuted with 1.287 million copies sold in the week ending November 2, 2014.

In fact, the first-week sales of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” are the largest for any album since Adele’s “25” was released. In total, since Luminate began tracking music sales electronically in 1991, the debut of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” stands as the sixth-largest sales week for any album. The top six biggest weeks belong to Adele’s “25,” *NSYNC’s “No Strings Attached,” *NSYNC’s “Celebrity,” Eminem’s “The Marshall Mathers LP,” Backstreet Boys’ “Black & Blue,” and now “1989 (Taylor’s Version).”

The success of “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” was amplified by its availability in various collectible physical formats, including color vinyl variants, CD editions, and digital download options.

In addition, Billboard mentioned that “All 13 of Swift’s full-length studio albums and re-recorded projects from 2008’s Fearless, her second studio album, through 2023’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version) have debuted at No. 1.” This has solidified her record for the most No. 1s among women in the chart’s history. She now ties with Drake for the third most No. 1 albums among all artists, with The Beatles holding the top spot with 19 No. 1s.

Swift announced “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” during her performance at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California, as part of her “The Eras Tour” in August. Pre-order sales for the album began shortly thereafter via Swift’s official webstore.

In summary, Taylor Swift’s triumphant return to the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 albums chart with “1989 (Taylor’s Version)” is a testament to her enduring popularity and the anticipation for her re-recorded albums.Additionally, SEVENTEEN makes a strong debut at No. 2 on the chart with “SEVENTEENTH Heaven: 11th Mini Album,” marking their fourth top 10-charting effort. The rest of the top 10 includes familiar names like Drake, Bad Bunny, Morgan Wallen, Rod Wave, and another of Swift’s albums, “Midnights.”

American High School

3 Tips on How to Prepare for Transferring to an American High School

The intake of foreign students by US high schools has been going down gradually, reports China Daily USA. The highest number of transfers currently comes from China (NBC News), but South Korea isn’t that far behind. These students, as well as all others who come to US high schools from foreign countries, face many challenges. Adapting to new circumstances is never easy for teenagers. Therefore, it’s essential to be well prepared to reduce the stress of this change. 3 Tips for International Students Transferring to an American High School Now, let's discuss the top 3 tips for international students transferring to an American high school at present. 1. Get into sports and/or other activities: Sports play an important part in American high schools, so a good way to ease integration is to join a team. Football, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, track and field, tennis, and swimming are some of the most popular options. If you aren’t particularly talented in any kind of sport, you will have other activities to get into. Music and drama clubs are very common as well as school newspapers and science clubs. Getting involved in any activity will help the transfer student make new friends and assist with navigating the complex social hierarchy system of US high schools. 2. Get additional training in language and culture: Studying English to pass tests necessary for acceptance into a high school in class will help you get that acceptance. However, being immersed in a new culture and language is very different from the class environment. Getting some help with adaptation both before and during the transition will be a great help. One can work with tutors or get into specialized classes when arriving to the US. Joining extracurricular activities will also help learning both the language and culture. But if possible, one should get some prior experience. According to Forward Pathway, visiting specialized summer and winter camps for students can be an important step for smoothing out their integration. Such camps do not only help children learn more about American culture and improve their English. They get them some experience of the US educational system. Note that some cities in the US offer free English classes in libraries and community centers. Consider checking out those in your area as this will also help you meet new people and better integrate into the community. 3. Choose a high school wisely: It’s essential for international students to choose a high school that will be able to offer exactly what they need. Private high schools in the US might have specialized advanced classes and extracurricular activities that students will need for their future education. Unfortunately, the private education sector in the US is expensive. Public high schools, on the other hand, all comply with the state curriculum. Note that it’s decided by the state, so you need to check out the curriculum before deciding on the transfer destination. You will also need to check what kind of assistance the school can provide to ESL students. If you are looking for maximum immersion in the American culture, a public high school is the best. Private schools are the better choice for specialized education.

Hospital

Finding the Right Hospital

In 2016, 7.3 percent of Americans took a trip to the hospital that required an overnight stay, according to numbers from the Centers for Disease Control. There were also 136.9 million visits to hospital emergency rooms that year, although some of those were certainly repeat visits. By the time you’re in the back of an ambulance, you might not be in a position to make requests about which hospital you’re taken to. But if you do have some say in the matter, you’ll want to be prepared, so here are some topics worth further investigation. Essential Facts To Consider While Finding A Hospital Do they accept your insurance? Even the most ardent defenders of the American healthcare system can acknowledge that’s it often very confusing. Not everyone knows that patients are entitled by law to receive emergency treatment, regardless of whether or not they have enough money to pay the bill. That’s thanks to a law passed in 1986 called the Emergency Medical Treatment and Labor Act. Among other things, it requires hospitals “to medically screen every patient who seeks emergency care and to stabilize or transfer those with medical emergencies, regardless of health insurance status or ability to pay.” Unfortunately, stabilizing a patient isn’t the same thing as treating the underlying condition. Even if you do have insurance that the hospital accepts, they may demand at least partial payment upfront. In late 2016, NPR reported that more hospitals are requiring patients to pay thousands of dollars for medical procedures before they’re performed. Asking if your insurance is accepted may not be enough. You may also want to ask when you’re expected to provide the first payment. If they need it before surgery, it’s better to know now rather than be surprised a couple of hours before you go into the operating room. Do patients give them good reviews? Locating reliable reviews of hospitals is tricky. First of all, customers are much more likely to leave a bad review than a good one. That’s because good or at least neutral expectations are the baseline. Things often have to be either really good or really bad for us to consider writing a review of the experience. Think about what you had for dinner last night. Unless it was something like the best or worst meal you’ve had, you probably don’t remember many specific details. It can be hard to know which reviews to trust, but looking at multiple reviews across many sites will improve your chances of getting a full picture of how patients feel. Look for patterns in reviews as well. If one person says a doctor ridiculed her, that’s weird but not exactly reliable. If ten people say that, then either there’s a coordinated campaign to trash the doctor or, more likely, this doctor really does insult patients. Have they been sued a lot? Search local news for any recent mentions of your local hospitals. You can also search for the name of the hospital plus “lawsuit” to see how often they get sued for things like medical malpractice. Every hospital gets sued sometimes, and that’s why doctors and medical professionals carry insurance. But you want to make sure there’s not a trend of people leaving the hospital worse than when they came in. People typically go to hospitals to get better, and if they don’t, they’ll end up looking for a medical malpractice attorney once they’re out. Look for signs that the hospital’s culture is problematic. One bad doctor is an issue, but if half the staff can’t do their job right, then something has gone terribly wrong inside that facility. You don’t want to get treated at a hospital that’s in the midst of an institutional crisis. Read Also: Everything You Need To Know About Term Insurance Plan Premium Have You Heard Of Upcoding?
