The singer’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” now has the second-most weeks at No. 1 of any Swift album.

The spring of Taylor Swift has become the summer of Taylor Swift as the singer’s latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” holds for a ninth straight week at No. 1 on the Billboard album chart.
The 31-track LP, released on April 19, has continued to rack up sales and streams — thanks in part to special edition “versions” with bonus tracks — earning another 126,000 sales units, including 121 million streams and 33,000 copies sold as a full package, according to the tracking service Luminate.
Album sales were up 42 percent with a boost from two new CD variations, sold exclusively by Swift’s web store, that each featured a different acoustic bonus song, Billboard reported; the CDs were available for a limited period of time in early June but shipped to customers last week, counting toward the latest chart totals.
“The Tortured Poets Department” now has the second-most weeks at No. 1 of any Swift album, behind “1989” and “Fearless,” each of which spent 11 nonconsecutive weeks atop the Billboard 200.
Also this week, Billie Eilish’s “Hit Me Hard and Soft” holds at No. 2 in its fifth week out, with 84,000 units; the rapper and singer Don Toliver’s “Hardstone Psycho,” which features Travis Scott and Future, debuts at No. 3 with 76,500 units; Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” is No. 4 with 73,000 units; and the underground rap duo Suicideboys’s “New World Depression” is No. 5 with 66,000 units.
