Taylor Swift continues to be in her record-breaking era with the release of The Tortured Poets Department.
Swift, 34, released her 11th studio album on April 19, and it immediately began shattering sales and streaming records left and right. TTPD racked up 2.6 million equivalent album sales in the first week of its release, with 1.9 million traditional album sales (including digital downloads, CDs, vinyl LPs and cassettes).
TTPD had the third-largest sales week ever in the modern era, behind only ‘NSync’s’s No Strings Attached (2.4 million) and Adele’s 25 (3.37 million) in terms of most albums sold in a single week.
Upon hearing the news, Swift tweeted that her “mind is blown” that TTPD sold 2.6 million copies in its first week. “ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS?” she added. “Thank you for listening, streaming, and welcoming Tortured Poets into your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed.”

TTPD debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart dated May 4, giving Swift her 14th chart-topping album (including her rereleases). This accomplishment pushes Swift past Drake to tie her with Jay-Z for the most No. 1 albums in the chart’s 70-year history. The Beatles still reign supreme with 19 No. 1 albums.
“Fortnight” featuring Post Malone was released as the album’s lead single. It earned 25.2 million streams on Spotify alone. With its debut at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Swift tied The Supremes and Madonna with 12 chart-topping hits. She also tied Ariana Grande for the most songs to debut at the top position.
