Taylor Swift Scores Fifth Week Atop Billboard 200 With ‘The Tortured Poets Department’
Taylor Swift's 'The Tortured Poets Department' rules the Billboard 200 for a fifth week, while Billie Eilish's 'Hit Me Hard and Soft' debuts at No. 2.
There were also three editions with one live recording each from her recent Paris shows during The Eras Tour (“loml,” “My Boy Only Breaks His Favorite Toys” and “The Alchemy x Treacherous Mashup”). (Sales of physical albums from internet mail order companies, such as Swift’s store, or Amazon and other similar web-based retailers, count on the chart in the week they ship to customers.) On May 15 and 16, she staged two listening events at Barclays Center in New York and the Kia Forum in Inglewood, Calif. Additionally, AMC Theatres screened a listening event on May 16-17 across more than 100 theaters in the U.S. On May 17, the day of the album’s release, Eilish dropped an official music video for the set’s “Lunch.” A world tour supporting the new album was announced on April 29 and will kick off on Sept. 29, with dates scheduled through July 2025.
