Taylor Swift<\/strong>‘s The Tortured Poets Department<\/em> continues to torture the top of the chart.<\/p>\n

The album is #1 on the<\/a> Billboard<\/em> 200 for an 11th straight week. The last time an album by a woman spent at least 11 weeks in a row<\/em> on top was Whitney Houston<\/strong>‘s soundtrack to The Bodyguard,<\/em> which was #1 for 13 weeks from December of 1992 to March of 1993.\u00a0<\/p>\n

And Taylor matches another Whitney chart feat: Tortured Poets<\/em> and Whitney’s second album, 1987’s Whitney<\/em>, are the only two albums by women to spend their first 11 weeks at #1. That means they both debuted at #1 and stayed there for 11 weeks.<\/p>\n

The last time an album by a woman spent 11 weeks at #1 overall — not in a row, but in total — was Taylor’s 1989<\/em>, which was on top for 11 non-consecutive weeks from 2014 to 2015. Tortured Poets<\/em> is Taylor’s third album to spend at least 11 weeks on top, following 1989<\/em> and Fearless.<\/em><\/p>\n

In addition, it’s the first time in over a year<\/a> that four of the albums in the top five are by women or female-led acts. In addition to Taylor, the top five also includes albums by Megan Thee Stallion<\/strong>, Billie Eilish<\/strong> and Chappell Roan<\/strong>.\u00a0 The lone male is Morgan Wallen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
