Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department climbs back to No. 1 on the U.K. Albums Chart, marking her 11th non-consecutive week at the top, one year after its release.
Taylor Swift has claimed the top spot on the U.K. Albums Chart again with The Tortured Poets Department on April 25, 2025. The album’s recent physical reissue, including a signed CD variant to celebrate its first anniversary on April 19, pushed it 23 places up the chart, securing her 11th non-consecutive week at No. 1 in the U.K. This marks her longest streak at the top yet, with the album continuing to perform strong even a year after its initial release.
Upon its release in April 2024, The Tortured Poets Department set multiple records, including the biggest opening week for an album since Ed Sheeran's Divide in 2017, as per Billboard. It even surpassed Adele’s 30 (2021) to achieve this feat.
