After only 1 day of release, the album The Tortured Poets Department sold more than 1.6 million copies (including 1.4 million pure copies), an extremely impressive number. The current record is still Adele’s 25 with 3.378 million copies sold in the first week of release. This means that The Tortured Poets Department is completely capable of beating Adele’s record to become the album with the highest first-week sales in history, especially when Taylor Swift still has 6 days to “fight”. . Taylor Swift also became the only artist in the world to have 7 albums sell more than 1 million copies in the first week of release.

In 2024 alone, Taylor Swift certainly has no competitors in first-week sales. Previously, Beyoncé’s album Cowboy Carter temporarily held the No. 1 position with 407,000 copies sold in the first week, and Ariana Grande’s Eternal Sunshine held the No. 2 position with 227,000 units sold. It only took Taylor Swift one day to bring in double the sales of Beyoncé and Ariana Grande combined.

According to predictions, all of the first 12 positions of the Billboard Hot 100 next week will be 12 songs from the album The Tortured Poets Department, of which Fortnight will debut at number one. Spotify also confirmed that Taylor Swift’s latest album became the album with the highest streams in the first 24 hours in history with 313 million streams. America’s Apple Music also witnessed an unprecedented phenomenon yesterday: the chart had 50 positions, of which 44 belonged to Taylor Swift.

Fortnight – the opening single – also reaped a series of impressive achievements when breaking the record of becoming the song with the highest streams in a day (25.2 million streams, surpassing the 23.7 million streams of All I Want For Christmas Is You from Mariah Carey).
