Breaking: ‘Tortured Poets Department’ Returns To No. 1 Album Spot As Taylor Swift Wraps Eras Tour

Taylor Swift

The Eras Tour may have come to an end on December 8, but in the rarified realm of Taylor Swift, there’s always something blooming anew.

Swift’s most recent album The Tortured Poets Department regained its spot atop The Billboard 200 for a 16th nonconsecutive week on the same day she wrapped her globe-spanning, record-shattering tour. A tour that surpassed $2 billion, more than double that of next closest contender, Coldplay’s Music of the Spheres World Tour, which crossed the $1 billion line.

As Swift was taking her final Eras bow in Vancouver, TTPD vaulted from No. 8 to No. 1 on Billboard’s latest albums chart dated December 14, a move that follows the release of the album’s deluxe Anthology edition exclusively at Target in the U.S.

Album unit sales in the U.S. for the past week climbed 839 percent, or 405,000 equivalent album units, according to analytics platform Luminate, and largely were driven by the sale of physical albums. The album initially was released April 19 both as a 16-song digital download album and several 17-song physical configurations.

Two hours after release, an expanded 31-song edition dubbed The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology dropped as a digital download with 15 additional songs. The Anthology had been available only in digital form until November 29, when CD and vinyl editions became available exclusively through Target—with a bonus. The Target CD and vinyl additionally contain four bonus acoustic tracks.

Target also has the exclusive on the official “Taylor Swift | The Eras Tour Book,” which provides a behind-the-scenes look at the making and performance of the tour, including never-before-seen photos and personal reflections written by Swift.
