Taylor Swift Ends Kanye West’s No. 1 Albums Streak As TTPD Retains Top Spot On Billboard Charts For 14th Week Over Vultures 2

As a long-time Swiftie, I can’t help but feel a sense of pride and admiration for Taylor Swift. Her latest album, Tortured Poet’s Department, has once again proven her unstoppable prowess in the music industry. With 14 weeks on the Billboard 200 chart, she has surpassed not just anyone, but Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s Vutures 2 album streak.


Taylor Swift’s latest album, The Tortured Poet’s Department, has surpassed the run of Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign’s Vutures 2 on the Billboard 200. Remarkably, it is now in its 14th week on the charts, suggesting that good fortune seems to be favoring Taylor Swift, with a hint of poetic justice.

It’s no wonder that Vulture 2’s run of 11 weeks at the top spot on the charts was bested by Swift, primarily due to the consistent growth in her fan base, particularly during the past couple of years.

The Billboard 200 rankings show the most popular albums in the U.S. for a given week, using a system that calculates equivalent album units, which includes factors like sales, streaming, and track downloads. These figures are provided by Luminate.

Based on Billboard’s report by Luminate, it was revealed that the TTPD accumulated around 142,000 equivalent album units in the United States during the weekend of August 8.

As a lifestyle expert, I find myself reflecting on the exceptional achievements in the music industry. Last seen dominating the Billboard 200 for an impressive 19 consecutive weeks was Morgan Wallen, with his album “One Thing At A Time.” From March of 2023 to this present March, it held the No. 1 spot uncontested. Interestingly enough, prior to Wallen, the last female artist to spend at least 14 weeks on the chart was none other than the enchanting Adele. Her album titled “21” ruled the charts for a staggering 24 consecutive weeks from 2011 to 2012.

In a recent chart ranking, Vulture 2 has entered at position 2, amassing 107,000 equivalent album units according to reports. Notably, this becomes another one of Kanye’s albums to secure a spot among the top two positions in the charts.

It’s intriguing how the global pop icon maintains a lead over the rapper, primarily due to the infamous feud that erupted following Kanye West’s Famous release.

2017 saw Taylor Swift releasing her album “Reputation,” where she addressed several conflicts in various tracks. It’s important to mention that at the time, Kim Kardashian, Kanye West’s wife, was deeply entangled in these events as well.

Additionally in 2009, the singer of Flashing Lights (Kanye West) overshadowed Taylor Swift during the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards. Despite winning the award for Best Female Video, her stage time was interrupted by Kanye who claimed that Beyoncé’s video was superior instead.

It seems that the controversies have fortified Swift, as she’s continued to thrive and achieve success with every project she’s presented. Her newest album, titled TTPD, dropped on April 19, 2024.
