The final first week numbers for The Tortured Poets Department are in: 

2.6 million units in the United States in the debut tracking week, topping NSYNC's No Strings Attached (2000) which sold 2.4 million in its first week in the Spring of 2000. This makes TTPD the second fast selling album in the history of the American music business, second only to Adele's 25, which sold 3.3 million units in its first week in the fall of 2015. 

Taylor and TTPD will occupy the entire top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100 for the second time in her career, she remains the only artist to ever accomplish this. She is challenging to occupy the entire Top 14 of the Hot 100, but is likely locked in for 13. 

Taylor and all 31 tracks of the TTPD anthology are expected to debut within the top 60 of the Hot 100. 

Taylor is set to tie Drake with the most Billboard Hot 100 #1 debuts in the chart's history, when she locks up her 10th Hot 100 #1 debut with Fortnight.

I really thought that it would be Rihanna that would tie Mariah's #1 hits record and break it. 

Now, I'm thinking it's gonna be Taylor. I think she'll be the one to break The Beatles record too.

Insane that she's pulling these figures in 2024
