Taylor Swift's 'Tortured Poets Department' Hits 15th Week Atop Billboard 200

Plus: Chappell Roan's The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess climbs 3-2, a new peak.

 

Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department reaches a 15th week atop the Billboard 200 chart (dated Aug. 24) — tying Carole King's Tapestry for the third-most weeks at No. 1 among albums by women. The latter spent 15 frames at No. 1 in 1971. Only Adele's 21 (24 weeks in 2011-12) and the Whitney Houston-led soundtrack to The Bodyguard (20 weeks in 1992-93) have more weeks at No. 1 among women.

 

Tortured Poets earned 85,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Aug. 15 (down 40%), according to Luminate.

 

Meanwhile, in a quiet top 10 (where no albums debut for the second time in three weeks), Chappell Roan's The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess hits a new peak for the third week in a row, as it climbs 3-2 with 72,000 units (up 13%), a new weekly high, by units, for the set.

 

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 Aug. 24, 2024-dated chart will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Aug. 20.

Even if Poets had not sold a single digital album in the latest tracking week, it still would have been No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

Also on Aug. 15, for only six hours, Swift's webstore restocked a $4.99 digital album variant that was available briefly the previous tracking week — it contained the standard album's 16 songs plus a live version of "thank You aimEe (Mean – Live from London)," recorded on June 22 during her The Eras Tour. In the previous tracking week, the same digital album variant was sold in Swift's webstore, but with one slight difference — the stylization of the letters in the title of bonus live song. It was initially stylized as "thanK you aIMee" (mirroring the studio version on the Poetsalbum), and then on Aug. 15, its stylization changed to "thank You aimEe." The capitalization of the specific letters in the title — KIM and YE — could reference Kim Kardashian and her ex-husband (and longtime Swift foe), Ye, formerly Kanye West.

Who the hell is listening to this album in full besides her fanbase? It's the most boring album of all time and it's not even season-appropiate. Are Taylor Swift fans that obsessed?
