While Taylor Swift continues The Eras Tour in Paris, the singer has found herself on top of the album charts for a third week in a row
The album is the first to spend its first three weeks atop the album charts since Travis Scott’s Utopia debuted on top for four weeks in a row from August 12, 2023 to September 2, 2023.

 

It was Swift’s first album to spend its first three weeks on top of the charts since 2020’s Folklore.

All in all, The Tortured Poet’s Department is the sixth Swift album to reach #1 on the album charts of her 11 albums.

Fans scooped up 282,000 album equivalent units of The Tortured Poets Department in its third week of release, the week ending May 9.

 

The album sales were down 36% from the previous week and was Swift’s biggest third-week sales since 2022’s Midnights (299,000 in November 2022).

 

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 TTPD’s third-week sales of 282,000, 229,500 are SEA, down 30% from last week, bringing the SEA total to 298.33 million on-demand official streams.

Traditional album sales equal 51,000, down 53%, with TEA adding another 1,500 units, down 43% from last week.

She also extends her record for weeks at #1 by a solo artist on the album charts to 72, ahead of Elvis Presley’s 67 weeks.

When the album debuted on April 19, it landed a whopping 14 songs on the Billboard Hot 100 singles charts,

The pop superstar, whose album was streamed over a billion times in the days after its April 19 release and hit number one on the Billboard 200, also saw her lead single Fortnight feat. Post Malone top the Hot 100, becoming her 12th number one

With a calmness sharper than anger, he looked out over the crowd and said, “When you turn your back on a woman fighting for the truth, that isn’t professionalism — it’s cruelty. Pam Bondi, you weren’t just silent. You abandoned your conscience.” But the true emotional earthquake came right after. Strait stepped back from the podium, placed a hand over his chest, and spoke with a conviction that sliced through the silence: “I’m coming back to the stage. One night. One purpose.
