Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, has earned an eighth straight week atop the Billboard 200.
The surprise double album earned 128,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the June 7-13 tracking week, according to Luminate.
Swift subsequently extended her record among solo artists for the most weeks – 77th career week – at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.
Swift dropped her highly anticipated album via Republic Records on April 19, and within a few days, it became the top-selling album of 2024.
