Taylor Swift is still crushing records on Spotify with her most recent album, The Tortured Poets Department, solidifying her position as the queen of music streaming. Swift’s album has become the first to ever accumulate an incredible one billiоn streams in a single week, according to the streaming behemoth. Remarkably, this benchmark was reached with just a few days left in the seven-day window.
This ground-breаking accomplishment beats the previous record held by Swift, which was set in October 2022 with her latest album, Midnights. Although Spotify could not provide precise numbers for Midnights, extrapolations from publicly accessible data indicated that the platform achieved over 700,000 streams in a single week.
There has been an incredible amount of movement behind The Tortured Poets Department. The album’s rapid ascent past 300 million streams on its first day of release hinted at the record-breаking achievement it would accomplish a few days later.
When the album’s official sales and streaming numbers are announced at the end of the chart week, there is a lot of anticipation. According to projections, The Tortured Poets Department is on track to sell more than two million album-equivalent units, which would be a record unsurpassed since Adele’s 25 ruled the charts nine years ago.
Swift’s album has achieved success in physical sales in addition to its success on streaming services. The Tortured Poets Department sold an astounding 700,000 LP copies in its first three days, making it the best-selling vinyl record in a single week in the modern era, according to reports from Luminate and Billboard.
