NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE – Taylor Swift’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” has taken the music world by storm with its record-breaking success. According to recent reports, Swift has achieved her 14th number one album on the Billboard 200 chart, tying with Jay-Z for the most solo artist chart-toppers. Only The Beatles, with 19 chart-topping albums, stand ahead of her in this remarkable achievement.
“The Tortured Poets Department” not only reached the top of the charts but also set a new record for the largest number of streams in a single week for an album since 2014 when Billboard began measuring units.

Swift was particularly amazed by the figures, including the 2.61 million equivalent album units sold in the U.S. alone in the week ending April 25. She shared behind-the-scenes photos of the album process, featuring notable artists like Post Malone and Florence Welch, and expressed her excitement to return to work after a brief two-month break.
As she thanked her fans for their support and reception of “Tortured Poets,” Swift expressed her eagerness to hit the road again for her upcoming tour. With a sense of gratitude and anticipation, she looks forward to May 9th, when she can reconnect with her fans through her music once more.
