Taylor Swift continues to dominate the album charts; Twenty One Pilots lands in a strong 3rd place

Taylor Swift’s The Tortured Poets Department has reached No. 1 on the Billboard album charts for the sixth consecutive week. The 31-song album prevents Billie Eilish from reaching the top spot for a second week, while also shutting out competition from Twenty One Pilots and RM, who landed at No. 3 and No. 5, respectively, in their debut week.

Since the debut of “The Tortured Poets Department” last month, Swift has released over 20 album variants and new physical versions of the LP, but this week the album dominates with its strongest streaming performance (133,000 units, or 173.65 million streams, according to Luminate via Billboard). With 175,000 units earned, “Tortured Poets” is the first set to spend its first six weeks at No. 1 since Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” spent its first 12 weeks at the top in March (through June) last year.

The best-selling album of the week (113,000 units) is “Clancy” by Twenty One Pilots, which also marks the conclusion of the duo’s multi-part album series that began with “Blurryface” in 2015. The LP debuts at number 3 with 143,000 units sold.

Clancy was available in a variety of formats, including two limited edition deluxe box sets, four additional retail-exclusive vinyl versions, a CD/diary/cassette package and more. Clancy – co-produced by Joseph and Trench producer Paul Meany – is the first rock album to reach top five status this year.

Elsewhere, RM’s “Right Place, Wrong Person” shoots to No. 5 as the BTS leader’s second solo top 10 album with 54,000 album-equivalent units and 43,000 sales, his most successful opening week in both unit and conventional album sales.

Completing the rest of the top 10 album charts are Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time Falls” at No. 4 and his 2021 album “Dangerous: The Double Album” at No. 6. “We Don’t Trust You” by Future and Metro Boomin is at No. 7, “One of Wun” by Gunna is at No. 8, “Stick Season” by Noah Kahan is at No. 9 and Zach Bryan’s album of the same name is at No. 10.

Wallen also shares the number one single on the Hot 100 with Post Malone for their country duet “I Had Some Help.” The song has stayed at number one for three consecutive weeks, landing at number one on the chart from May 24-30 with 52.4 million radio impressions and 47.4 million official streams.

Kendrick Lamar’s Drake diss track “Not Like Us” is at No. 2 and Tommy Richman’s “Million Dollar Baby” is at No. 3, after peaking at No. 2 in previous weeks. Aside from chart repeats (Shaboozey at No. 4; Sabrina Carpenter at No. 5; Teddy Swim’s at No. 7; Hozier at No. 8; Benson Boone at No. 9; Eilish’s “Lunch” at No. 10), Zach Bryan’s “Pink Skies” debuts at No. 6 with 31.6 million streams and 166,000 radio impressions. The single is reportedly part of Bryan’s new album, tentatively titled “The Great American Bar Scene.”
