Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” Sets Record-breaking Numbers

Taylor Swift’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” is breaking records left and right in the music industry. According to initial reports from data tracking firm Luminate, the album has achieved remarkable success in its first few days of release in the U.S.

In just four days, the deluxe edition of the album has generated a staggering 602.3 million on-demand official streams, setting a new record for the largest streaming week for an album by a woman. This surpasses Swift’s previous record set by her last studio album, “Midnights,” which collected 549.3 million streams in its opening week.

“The Tortured Poets Department” also claims the third-largest streaming week overall, only trailing behind Drake’s “Scorpion” and “Certified Lover Boy.” In terms of equivalent album units, the album has earned 2.1 million units, with traditional album sales accounting for 1.6 million of that total.

The album’s availability in over 20 different editions across physical and digital formats has contributed to its massive sales numbers. Vinyl sales have been particularly strong, with 800,000 copies sold, breaking Swift’s own record for the largest sales week for a vinyl album in the modern era.

With the tracking week ending soon, the final first-week numbers for “The Tortured Poets Department” are highly anticipated. If the album debuts at the top of the Billboard 200 chart, it will mark Swift’s 14th No. 1 album, extending her record for the most among women.

Overall, Taylor Swift’s latest album is making waves in the music industry and solidifying her position as one of the top artists of our time. Stay tuned for more updates on the album’s success and impact on the charts.
