Taylor Swift continues her move into legendary territory thanks to her latest chart achievement.
More details below…
On the latest Billboard 200 update, Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ holds at #1 for a 12th consecutive week. As a result, the album breaks the record for the most initial consecutive weeks at #1 from an album by a female artist. It bested the 11-week run by Whitney Houston‘s ‘Whitney’ album.
As we previously we reported, ‘Poets’ tied ‘Whitney’ last week.
However, Swift additionally has gone on to tie with Morgan Wallen‘s ‘One Thing At A Time’ for the most consecutive weeks at #1 for an album this century.
What’s more, ‘Poets’ is now Swift’s longest #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, besting the 11-week run of ‘1989’ and ‘Fearless.’

Yay she’s passes Whitney record. Can’t see anyone beating this record for a very long time.
She’s truly in a league of her own.
Whitney at 11 weeks
tayho swift 12.week. wooooooow a whole extra week over Whitney. B**** please
Ah that’s how the record is broken, by extra week? You sound dumb lol.
Taylor now holds the record.
just because she outsold someone doesnt mean shes in a leagure of her own. She sucks cant sing or dance. i rather Miley be in TRASHLOR’s spot..at least miley is believable and has personality … and can sing somewhat…..
She passed Whitney’s record by the skin of her teeth
Keep crying your black tears, I love it!
HasBeyn could never!
Terrible album btw
Means nothing.
Absolutely nothing….you can’t compare pure sales if people going to the store to actually buy an album to streams! No comparison!
Plus as rigged as the charts always been back then the general public had the final say and not the most active fanbase
Agreed!
Taylor is an innocent. W****
Calvin Harris
Taylor Laut
Jake Gyllenhaal

Tell Taylor to close her skinny legs.
Whitney Houston never slept with that many men
So many bitter people here, can’t stand Taylor slaying records..
Taylor holds this record.. She’s passed Whitney. Accept it.
Go taylor.
She is not breaking nothing
11 weeks to 12 weeks big deal… She better be glad Whitney Houston is dead.
She’s now in the record books for this record, it’s no longer Whitney, Taylor owns this record hahahaba
Disgraceful. Kids today will never know true talent and hard work.
Sabrina Carpenter ended Traylor Trash
They need to retire the charts that set records based on pure sales, these mediocre artist are breaking records because of streaming.
Taylor has set a new record and erased Whitneys record. Taylor swift now owns this record…
Still Whitney’s lessor in every way imaginable😊
