Taylor Swift is the gift that keeps on giving.
Her “Tortured Poets Department” is number 1 for the 7th week in a row.
Total sales are now 4.1 million including streaming, 2.3 million in CDs, LPS, downloads, and whatnot.
It’s remarkable achievement with no sign of letting up. Swifties have kept Eyelashes — my name for Billie Eilish fans — at bay for two weeks. “Hit Me Hard and Soft” continues at number 2.
This week, “Poets” sold a total 146,275. Taylor has FIVE other albums in the top 50, as well.
This week’s achievement puts “Poets” at number 13 of the best selling albums of the 2020s. She already holds the number 2 and 5 spots with “Midnights” and “Folklore,” respectively.
Also in the top 50 this week: Fleetwood Mac, the Eagles, Elton John, Bob Marley, and Creedence Clearwater Revival. They are all great artists, but where is more contemporary stuff and why isn’t it selling?
