Powered by the release of physicals for the full “Anthology,” Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” will rocket back to #1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales and Billboard 200 charts.<\/p>\n
According to Hits Daily Double, the album should sell about 360K US copies during the November 29-December 5 tracking period. Should the figure hold, it would rank as the year’s #2 pure album sales week — trailing only the 1.91 million figure achieved during the album’s spring release.<\/p>\n
With units from track sales and streams included, Hits forecasts 388K in total tracking period consumption. That would rank as the year’s #4 single-week total, trailing only the first and second week marks (2.61 million, 439K) for “The Tortured Poets Department” and the inaugural week for Beyonce’s “Cowboy Carter” (407K).<\/p>\n
With no other album even set to post six figures in album sales this week, “TTPD” is a lock for #1 on Top Album Sales. Its consumption forecast more than doubles that of the week’s projected #2 performer (Kendrick Lamar’s “GNX”), thus making a return to #1 on the Billboard 200 also appear certain.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"It will post the #2 sales week of 2024, trailing only the album’s debut mark last spring.","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":165852,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[183,1047],"tags":[145,16414],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
