Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” is on a chart-topping spree that just won’t quit!
This melodious masterpiece has spent a mind-boggling 7th consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, racking up 148,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending June 6. It seems like everyone and their grandma is grooving to Taylor’s tunes!
In case you were wondering, this is the first album to hog the No. 1 spot for its first seven weeks since Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” led the charge for 12 weeks straight in 2023. Clearly, Taylor’s not just breaking hearts; she’s breaking records too.
Move over, “Folklore”! “The Tortured Poets Department” has snatched the crown for the most weeks at No. 1 from its debut, leaving “Folklore” sulking in second place with its mere six-week reign.
With this achievement, “Poets” matches “Red” for Taylor’s fourth-most weeks atop the charts. Only the juggernauts “1989” and “Fearless” (each with 11 weeks) and “Folklore” (eight weeks) have more bragging rights.
This marks Taylor’s 76th career week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, cementing her status as the reigning champion of soloists. Kudos to you, Taylor – you’ve earned yourself a permanent residency at the top!
Keep rocking those charts, Ms. Swift! 🎸🎤
