Taylor Swift doesn’t know how to stop and we aren’t complaining. The pop singer is ready to resume her Eras Tour after the launch of her latest studio album, The Tortured Poets Department (TTPD). The album has been generating a whole lot of buzz for the singer, breaking records left, right and centre and establishing Taylor as a pop culture icon, one album after another.
The Tortured Poets continues to set and knock down records as Swifthas now become the first artist to claim the top 14 songs on the Billboard Hot 100. Almost all songs featured in her new album have claimed top spots on the chart. This comes after her 2022 album Midnights did something similar.
Among all songs, the biggest hit from TTPD is “Fortnight” which she sang as a duet with Post Malone. The song is currently sitting comfortably at Number 1. The song is her 12th topper on the Billboard chart. With this, Taylor Swift now has the sixth-most Number 1s and levels up from 49 to 59 career top 10s, which is the most among female artists.
Also, “Fortnight” secured 76.2 million streams, and became her ninth No. 1 on the Streaming Songs chart, the most among women. All 31 songs have landed on the Hot 100.
Apart from “Fortnight,” Taylor Swift’s other hits include “Down Bad,” “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” “The Tortured Poets Department,” “So Long, London,” “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys,” “But Daddy I Love Him,” “Florida!!!” featuring Florence + the Machine, “Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me?” and “Guilty as Sin?” – all in Top 10.
Taylor Swift has now eclipsed Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson and Stevie Wonder for the most toppers on the Hot 100. She is now tied with the Supremes and Madonna and sits behind Michael Jackson, Drake, Rihanna, Mariah Carey and the Beatles, who have the most No. 1s with 20.
Just yesterday, Taylor Swift thanked her fans for such an enthusiastic response to her latest album which she has released as two albums in one. She released a set of songs first and then released another set of songs as an extended version of the album, The Tortured Poets Department.
Taking to her Instagram, Taylor wrote, “My mind is blown. I’m completely floored by the love you’ve shown this album. 2.6 million ARE YOU ACTUALLY SERIOUS?? Thank you for listening, streaming, and welcoming Tortured Poets into your life.” See what she wrote here.
