This is Taylor Swift’s world and we’re all just living in it. The success of The Tortured Poets Department in just a few weeks is proof! The album hit #1 on the Billboard 200, got the most first-week U.S. streams of any album ever, became the fastest album to ever hit a billion streams, and made Taylor the artist with the most #1 albums this century. On the song front, TTPD tracks took up the top 14 slots on the Billboard Hot 100 (which has never been done), made her the first artist in history to have 31 songs debut on the chart at once, and ‘Fortnight’ with Post Malone debuted at #1!
That’s sooooo many accomplishments, no? We’re mind-blown, and that’s not even all of the records she’s broken since April 19th…
