Taylor Swift Hits Career-Best 12th Week at No. 1 on Billboard 200 With 'Tortured Poets Department'

Plus: Zach Bryan's "The Great American Bar Scene" jumps 17-2 after its first full tracking week.

 

Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department captures a 12th consecutive and total week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 (dated July 20) — beating 1989 and Fearless (each with 11 weeks at No. 1) as her longest-leading No. 1 album.

 

The Tortured Poets Department earned 163,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending July 11 (up 43% — its first gain in seven weeks), according to Luminate. The album debuted atop the chart dated May 4 and has yet to yield the No. 1 slot.

 

The Tortured Poets Department surpasses Whitney Houston's 1987 album Whitney to become the only album by a woman to spend its first 12 weeks at No. 1. The latter spent all 11 of its weeks atop the list from its debut frame (June 27, 1987-dated chart).

 

Only two other albums have spent at least their first 12 weeks at No. 1: Morgan Wallen's One Thing at a Time (first 12 weeks at No. 1, of its total 19 weeks at No. 1 in 2023-24) 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). (For context, today it's common for albums to debut at No. 1. However, before 1991, when the Billboard 200 began utilizing Luminate's electronically monitored tracking information, only six albums debuted at No. 1, including Whitney and Songs in the Key of Life.)

 

Also in the top 10 of the latest Billboard 200 chart, Zach Bryan's The Great American Bar Scene soars 17-2 in its first full tracking week. The previous week's list captured the tracking week of June 28-July 4, and Bryan's album was released on Thursday, July 4. (Albums are typically released on Friday each week, which is the first day of the chart's tracking week.)

 

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units, compiled by Luminate. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new July 20, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on July 16.

Kendrick Lamar's 'Not Like Us' Returns to No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100

Plus, Morgan Wallen's "Lies Lies Lies" debuts at No. 7.

 

Kendrick Lamar's "Not Like Us" rebounds to No. 1, from No. 3, on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart, sparked by the July 4 premiere of its official video.

 

The track adds a second week at the Hot 100's summit, after it debuted at No. 1 nine weeks earlier. It became a pop-culture fixture and spent the next eight weeks after its arrival between Nos. 2 and 6, including the last two frames at No. 3. In that span, it was further boosted by Lamar's Juneteenth The Pop Out: Ken & Friends concert – in which he performed the seething diss track five times – at the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif.

 

(Only two non-holiday songs have logged more time, nine weeks each, between stays at No. 1 on the Hot 100: Olivia Rodrigo's "Vampire" in 2023 and Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" in 2013.)

 

Meanwhile, Lamar lands his first multi-week Hot 100 No. 1 on his own; he previously led with no billed collaborators for a week in 2017 with "Humble." He has ruled the Hot 100 for an overall personal-best three weeks in April with "Like That," with Future and Metro Boomin. He earned the first of his four No. 1s for a week in 2015 as featured on Taylor Swift's "Bad Blood."

 

Also in the latest Hot 100's top 10, Morgan Wallen's "Lies Lies Lies" launches at No. 7, becoming his 10th song to reach the region.

 

The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations. All charts (dated July 20, 2024) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow, July 16. For all chart news, you can follow @billboard and @billboardcharts on both X, formerly known as Twitter, and Instagram.

The narrative is that she's a greedy ass human being. Whether it be chart related, or "just more money" like you said.

This was me keeping it classy. I could have just compared TTPD's weeks at #1 with their entire discography combined

What an achievement! 13th week when?

Why are they always using that pic when referring to TTPD? Isn't the official cover the one where she lays on the bed?
