The Tortured Poets Department

Taylor Swift's latest offering, named The Tortured Poets Department, has instantly captured the hearts of millions, and become a certified global phenomenon. 

It boasts a staggering 31 songs on the LP's deluxe version, making it the biggest global streaming week since the Billboard Global 200 launched in September 2020.

The Anthology with 15 songs added, certainly sent Tortured Poets into the stratosphere. Swift's original 16 songs alone shattered records, amassing 1.27 billion first-week global clicks. 

Breaking records seems to be second nature to Taylor Swift. 

This latest triumph sees her eclipsing her previous record set by Midnights. That 20-song deluxe edition album logged 1.16 billion streams. 

Swift doesn't just break records; she transcends them. Her artistry goes to new heights with every new endeavor.

Bad Bunny

Swift's trek at the top of the music world intersects with Bad Bunny. Born Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, of Puerto Rico, he is a rapper, singer, and record producer. He is also a trailblazer who has carved his own path to superstardom. 

Bad Bunny's influence transcends language barriers. He is the first non-English-language act to become Spotify's most-streamed artist of the year.

The six biggest non-U.S. debut streaming weeks all belong to Bad Bunny and Taylor Swift. In addition to Poets Swift logged 606 million for Midnights and 440.8 million for 1989 (Taylor's Version) in the opening weeks. 

Chart Topping Momentum

In the pantheon of chart-topping statistics, the collaboration with Post Malone on "Fortnight" catapulted her to the summit of the Billboard Global 200, marking her fifth No. 1 on the chart. No other soloist has accomplished the feat.

Taylor Swift reigns as queen, her legacy etched in the annals of music history for eternity.
