Taylor Swift just can’t help but constantly break records. For the past couple of years, the pop superstar has been committed to her history-making Eras Tour, yet she still found time to work on new material. During the 2024 Grammy Awards, she surprised fans by announcing her 11th album, The Tortured Poets Department, which was released on April 19. With tracks like “Fortnight,” “I Can Do It With a Broken Heart,” and “So Long, London,” the album became an instant hit, breaking streaming and chart records. Nine months later, The Tortured Poets Department has already surpassed six billion streams, cementing its place as the most-streamed album of 2024. Additionally, it becomes Taylor’s sixth album to reach six billion streams on Spotify, making her the first artist in history with six albums achieving this milestone.
