Taylor Swift Spends 10th Week at No. 1 With 'The Tortured Poets Department'

Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department is going the distance.

The album spent a tenth consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, the company reports Sunday (June 30).

She’s now just one of five acts with three or more albums to spend 10 or more weeks at No. 1, standing alongside Whitney Houston, The Beatles, The Kingston Trio and Elvis Presley, and is the only act with three albums to spend at least 10 weeks at No. 1 this century.

The album earned 115,000 equivalent albums in the past week. It joins joins just four other albums that have achieved that same feat: Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time (first 12 weeks at No. 1, of its total 19 weeks at No. 1), his Dangerous: The Double Album (all 10 of its weeks at No. 1 were from its debut atop the chart, 2021); Whitney Houston’s Whitney (all 11 of its weeks at No. 1 were from its debut atop the chart, 1987) and Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life (first 13 weeks at No. 1, of its total 14 weeks at No. 1 in 1976).

It’s also the first album by a woman to spend 10 weeks in a row at No. 1 since 2012, when Adele’s 21 scored 10 straight weeks at No. 1. She’s one week away from tying her personal record for her most weeks atop the chart, as both 1989 and Fearless each notched 11 weeks at No. 1.

She also just shared a personal note from U2!
