Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department secured its ninth consecutive week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. The Tortured Poets Department has now spent its first nine weeks at No. 1, joining only five other albums in music history that accomplished the same feat: Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time; Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album; Drake’s Views; Whitney Houston’s Whitney; and Stevie Wonder’s Songs in the Key of Life. Rounding out the Billboard 200 Top 5 albums are two records that remain in the same spots as last week, Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft remains at No. 2, and Wallen’s former chart-topper One Thing at a Time stays put at No. 4. They are joined by two new releases, with Don Toliver’s Hardstone Psycho making an impressive debut at No. 3, and $uicideboy$ notching their highest-charting album ever with New World Depression debuting at No. 5.
