After selling over 1.4 million copies in traditional album sales in the US on the first day her The Tortured Poets Department album was released, Taylor Swift has set yet another record as she claimed the top 14 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 Songs chart.
All the songs are from Taylor’s recent album, The Tortured Poets Department , led by Fortnight, which Post Malone made it to the list.
“You’ve outdone yourselves, this is unbelievable,” she wrote on social media.
She also has the most songs charted in a single week by a woman, with 32 tracks overall on the most recent list, all 31 of which are from the deluxe edition of The Tortured Poets Department plus the standout hit song Cruel Summer. Swift was already the only artist to have ever dominated the entire top 10 of the Hot 100, courtesy to songs from her most recent album, Midnights, which had all-new material and peaked at number one with Anti-Hero.
In just five days after its release, The Tortured Poets has become the fastest-ever album to reach one billion plays on Spotify, thanks to its 31 tracks. With over 300 million streams on its first day of release, Tortured Poets recently became Spotify’s most-played album in a single day. This milestone simply represents the most recent record that Swift has achieved with the new album in recent days. In a similar vein, Fortnight broke the record for the most single-day song streams on the site.

“This period of the author’s life is now over, the chapter closed and boarded up. There is nothing to avenge, no scores to settle once wounds have healed. And upon further reflection, a good number of them turned out to be self-inflicted. This writer is of the firm belief that our tears become holy in the form of ink on a page. Once we have spoken our saddest story, we can be free of it,” Swift wrote of her latest project on Instagram upon its release.
