Taylor Swift’s Chart Reign Might Finally Be Ending

Taylor Swift just completed a record-breaking sixth fortnight at No. 1 with The Tortured Poets Department — or 12 weeks, for all you non-tortured poetry students. Her latest album is now her longest-running chart-topper on “The Billboard 200,” breaking out of a tie with the 11-week runs for Fearless and 1989. TTPD has only seemed more unstoppable each week, fending off challengers like Billie Eilish and Zach Bryan thanks to Swift’s dedicated fans and canny release strategy.
