Swift dropped her highly anticipated album via Republic Records on April 19, and within a few days, it became the top-selling album of 2024 with 1.914 million units sold.

While the 31-track double album’s first volume features collaborations with Post Malone and the English indie rock band Florence & The Machine, the second volume contains 15 additional songs, four of which are previously announced physical bonus tracks

Swift extended her record as the solo artist with their albums spending the most weeks – 73rd career week – at No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

TTPD is followed by Gunna‘s One Of Wun at No. 2, Morgan Wallen‘s One Thing at a Time at No. 3, Future and Metro Boomin‘s We Don’t Trust You at No. 4, and Wallen’s Dangerous: The Double Album at No. 5 on the latest chart, dated May 25.
