Taylor Swift’s ‘Tortured Poets’ Racks Up 439,000 Units in Week 2

Taylor Swift‘s “The Tortured Poets Department” registered 439,000 album-equivalent units to return as the No. 1 album in the U.S. in its second week out.

According to data from Luminate first reported in Billboard. That’s an 89% drop from its massive debut week, when it racked up 2.61 million units.

But the 439K is still much higher than any other album has accumulated in any week in 2024 so far, making it the year’s second-best tally to date.

Moreover, the second week figure for “Tortured Poets” is also the best second-week number for any album in nine years. The last time an album did any better in its sophomore session was in 2015, when Adele’s “25” did 1.162 million in its second week.
