Before 2024, Whitney Houston – with her 1987 eponymous album – reigned in Billboard 200 history books as the only woman to have an album boast an 11-week run atop the all-genre chart after debuting in its pole position.
This week, thanks to the ongoing success of Taylor Swift‘s latest blockbuster album ‘Tortured Poets Department,’ that record’s been matched.
In its 11th week of charting, Swift’s ‘Tortured’ blocked big names like Megan Thee Stallion and Camila Cabello from capturing the Billboard 200’s throne.
Here are the numbers that powered its latest stay atop the tally.
- Sales (SPS) = 114,000
- Sales (Pure) = 36,000
The continued grip on the #1 spot came with quite a few nods this week.
Beyond becoming the first female-led album since Houston’s ‘The Bodyguard‘ to spend 11 consecutive weeks at #1 (the soundtrack spent 13), ‘Poets’ penciled its name beside Whitney’s sophomore LP ‘Whitney‘ for becoming only the second female studio album in history to debut at #1 and hold on to the position for an unbroken 11 weeks.
What’s more, the latest print on the Billboard 200 marks Taylor’s 80th career week at #1 – extending her overall record among solo acts.
With little competition on next week’s all-genre chart, Swift is expected to break Whitney’s record.

Whitney x Dolly Parton should send Beyonce a collections notice like b**** Jolene is past due pay up.
I’m sorry
But the old ashy Crackney can’t come to the phone right now
Why? Oh, ’cause she’s DEAD! (oh)
Whitney was not on crack and your dead jokes are dead
She most certainly was on crack. The dead jokes are funny and they make me laugh.
That’s because you’re the same troll underpaid blog writer of this site that wrote the comment in the first place
Taylor stays winning. She put all these legendary to dust.
Taylor couldn’t do this like Whitney in the 90s.
And she’s still basic.
Does she have any classics? I always hear of how well she’s doing but I’ve never heard a ubiquitous song from her that transcends genres and everyone loves or at least recognizes when played. I can’t name one song from her.
💯
24 years from now we will not be talking about torture poets like Whitneys bodyguard. 24 years later.
That’s facts.
She has continued to release a thousand version’s of the album. Whitney did it with one version!
That’s disgraceful. Whitney was a true talent! A superstar. Taylor is a generic white chick who has some cute songs.
People today need to ask for more from their celebs.
well, at least Taylor says no to drugs. Not a crackhead like Whitney. Taylor is a White healthy role model.
Whitney was not on crack
Everybody knows Taylor Swift is a ho ask a Jonas Brothers
Crackney was the biggest crackhead going. It is well documented.
She a ho.
John Mayer an
Travis Kelce
Harry Styles
Joe Jonas

Bish your just mad because your a fat ugly non binary p** who can’t pick up anybody.
*P I G
Crackney hoeston is Bobby’s crack w h o r e and I’m glad he knocked all her teeth out.
🥱 this pink ashy flop will NEVER see Whitney’s success
She already has, and she will pass the crackhead.
Taylor had slept with 12 industry men. she a white toilet bowl.
Toilet bowl, that was your dad’s name at high school. He would open his mouth wide for anybody.
Crackney died rotten in her dirty bathtub. this is embarrassing and so does her daughter. Like crack Mother like meth daughter
What. It’s already 12 weeks at. Number 1. This is wrong. Take this post down! Corect it….
Republic’s Taylor Swift is now tied with labelmate Morgan Wallen for most consecutive weeks at #1—12—with her juggernaut TTPD.
GIVE SOME RESPECT TO TAYLOR SWKFTS NAME!
