Taylor Swift’s triumphant return to the music scene with her latest album, “The Tortured Poets Department,” has not only captivated audiences but also raked in colossal earnings. Featuring an impressive collection of 31 tracks, Swift’s album has recently seen its first-week sales figures unveiled, leaving many astounded by the staggering revenue it generated.
In a statistical revelation, “The Tortured Poets Department” has sold a remarkable 2.61 million copies in the United States alone. The total revenue amassed from various formats including CDs, vinyl records, cassette tapes, and more, stands at a jaw-dropping $47 million USD (approximately 1.19 trillion VND).
However, these figures only scratch the surface of Swift’s financial windfall. Considering the existence of deluxe editions and special releases sold at premium prices, the actual revenue is speculated to far exceed the reported $47 million USD. Moreover, these numbers only represent sales in the US market, with global figures expected to soar even higher.
But Swift’s dominance extends beyond just album sales; she has firmly solidified her reign atop the music charts. In the latest Billboard Hot 100 rankings, Swift reigns supreme with an unprecedented 14 tracks from “The Tortured Poets Department.”
Leading the charge is “Fortnight,” garnering an impressive 76.2 million streams across online platforms, coupled with 31.1 million radio airplay impressions, and 19,000 units sold in the week ending April 25th. This achievement marks Swift’s 12th Hot 100 No.1 single, further cementing her legacy in music history.
Notably, Swift not only secures the No.1 spot but also monopolizes the entire Top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 with tracks from her album. Additionally, her influence extends beyond the Top 10, with four more tracks making their mark just outside the coveted positions.
With this latest feat, Swift etches her name in the annals of music history once again, becoming the first artist to dominate the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 twice. This remarkable accomplishment follows her previous milestone in 2022 with tracks from the album “Midnights.”
With a total of 59 songs gracing the Billboard Hot 100 Top 10, Swift stands as the first female artist to achieve over 50 such hits, trailing only behind Drake, who boasts 77 charting songs.
Taylor Swift’s latest album not only showcases her musical prowess but also serves as a testament to her unrivaled success and influence in the music industry. As she continues to push boundaries and redefine norms, Swift solidifies her position as a powerhouse in contemporary music.
