Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department notches number one spot for FIFTH week in a row… as she triumphs over new Billie Eilish album
Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department notched the fifth consecutive week at the top of the charts.
This Sunday marked the fifth straight week that the 34-year-old superstar’s 11th studio album has held the number one position at the top of the Billboard 200 albums chart.
TTPD is the first album to spend its first five weeks at the top of the charts since Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time held the spot for 12 consecutive weeks after the country artist’s March 2023 release.
She previously released the critically acclaimed double album tracklist on April 19 and added several of its songs to her setlist for the European leg of The Eras Tour.
This comes as she wrapped up her two-day stint in Lisbon, Portugal, fan-taken footage showed her performing a medley from her new album including its title song live for the very first time.
On Swift’s heels in second place, Billie Eilish’s new release Hit Me Hard and Soft follows closely behind with 339,000 equivalent album units — marking the 20-year-old singer’s largest week in her career so far.
The Tortured Poets Department has earned 378,000 equivalent album units in the United States alone, according to a report by Luminate.
She also scored the largest fifth-week for any album since Adele’s 25 measured 1.193 million units after its January 2016 release.
Album equivalent units are comprised of track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). An album equivalent unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported streams or 1,250 paid subscription streams.
Of all her chart-topping albums, Swift continues to hold the spot for the longest amount of time a soloist has guarded the number one spot.
With Sunday’s report, Swift secured her 74th career week at the top of the Billboard 200, further extending her record for solo artists.
The Tortured Poets Department is her sixth album to reach number one on the charts.
She is currently tied with Jay-Z for the most number ones among solo artists.
