Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Remains Atop Billboard 200 For Third Week

Taylor Swift‘s The Tortured Poets Department has remained atop the all-genre Billboard 200 albums chart for a third straight week.

The album becomes Swift’s first record to spend its first three weeks atop the chart since 2020’s Folklore spent its first six weeks at No. 1.

The Tortured Poets Department is also the first album to spend its first three weeks in the pole position since Travis Scott‘s Utopia led in its first four weeks last summer.

The Tortured Poets Department earned 282,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending May 9, down 36%, according to Luminate. That marks the largest third week for any album since Swift’s own Midnights clocked 299,000 units in its third frame.

Meanwhile, Dua Lipa‘s latest album, Radical Optimism, debuts at No 2.
