10 Things to Know About Herb Alpert

Taylor Swift’s current chart domination has put another chart titan, Herb Alpert, back in the news. Last week, Swift became the first living artist to put four albums in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 since Alpert & the Tijuana Brass achieved the feat in April 1966. Swift repeats the feat this week.

Alpert congratulated Swift on matching his achievement with a sweet message on TikTok. “Hi Taylor, this is Herb Alpert,” he says in the clip. “I’ve been getting calls from all over the world from publications wanting to know how do I feel about you breaking my record of — I don’t know — 150 years ago. I feel great! I think you’re a wonderful artist, sincere, you’re gracious and you deserve it. You deserve it all. Congratulations.”

On Billboard’s most recent list of the Greatest of All Time Billboard 200 Artists, Alpert is No. 7 – just ahead of Swift at No. 8. (Swift will likely move up in the next update.)
