'Tortured Poets' takes No. 2 slot for album sales
As far as sales numbers, the album of 31 tracks earned 2.61 million album units in the U.S. with 1.914 million being traditional album sales (vinyls, CDs, cassettes and digital downloads). In 2014, Billboard began ranking the most popular album units (instead of traditional album sales). Since then, Adele and Swift have led the pack for the 10 biggest weeks:
- Adele: "25," 3.482 million, Dec. 12, 2015
- Taylor Swift: "The Tortured Poets Department," 2.61 million, May 4, 2024
- Taylor Swift: "1989 (Taylor’s Version)," 1.653 million, Nov. 11, 2023
- Taylor Swift: "Midnights," 1.578 million, Nov. 5, 2022
- Taylor Swift: "Reputation," 1.238 million, Dec. 2, 2017
- Adele: "25," 1.193 million, Jan. 9, 2016
- Adele: "25," 1.162 million, Dec. 19, 2015
- Drake: "Views," 1.039 million, May 21, 2016
- Taylor Swift: "Lover," 867,000, Sept. 7, 2019
- Taylor Swift: "Folklore," 846,000, Aug. 8, 2020
According to Luminate, an entertainment industry data and analytics company, Adele's album "25" is the only album in the top 10 with more than one successful week of album equivalent units sold.
'My mind is blown.'
Swift took to social media on Sunday to thank her fans: "My mind is blown. I’m completely floored by the love you’ve shown this album. 2.6 million ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS?? Thank you for listening, streaming, and welcoming Tortured Poets into your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed. I was already so fired up to get back to the tour but you doing THIS?? May 9th can’t come soon enough 🤍."
May 9 refers to her next Eras Tour concert in Paris, France, where fans believe she will incorporate the new album into her colossal set.
For the love of vinyl
From "Fortnight" to "The Manuscript," Swift has been promoting her newest creation with several partners, inundating the news and social media with the release. Spotify built a library pop-up in Los Angeles full of Easter eggs. Swift became the first artist to reach a billion streams on the platform in just five days. Apple Music featured a game where Swifties could search lyrics for a secret code leading them to the first line of "How Did It End?": "We hereby conduct this post mortem." In a tweet, the streaming service said "the album broke the record for biggest pop album of all time by first-day streams."
As for vinyls, Swift sold 859,000 copies, smashing her previous record of 693,000 for "1989 (Taylor's Version)." One factor that contributed to the new historic win is she sold four vinyl variants.
Solo artist with winning streak
Swift started 2024 beating the King of Rock and Roll for the solo artist with the most weeks spent on top of the Billboard 200 albums chart.
"1989 (Taylor's Version)" maintained a stronghold at number one, as the Mastermind Queen surpassed Elvis Presley's 67-week record with 68 weeks, Billboard announced on New Year's Eve. With "The Tortured Poets Department" Swift now has 70 weeks at No. 1. Only The Beatles have more with 132 weeks.
