Taylor Swift has once again demonstrated her enduring appeal in the music industry with her latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department." 

Nearly a month after its release, the album's tracks continue to occupy a significant portion of the Billboard Hot 100, showcasing the sustained popularity of Swift's music.

Initially, all 31 songs from the album debuted on the Hot 100, with Swift claiming an impressive 22% of the chart's positions in the current frame. 

"The Tortured Poets Department" made a spectacular entry at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, and the impact didn't stop there. 

Swift's highest-ranking song currently is “Fortnight,” a collaboration with Post Malone, which initially soared to No. 1 and is now at No. 8. 

"When 'The Tortured Poets Department' first arrived at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, all 31 songs featured on its lengthy tracklist broke onto the Hot 100—and that didn’t even tell the full story of her performance that week," noted a music industry analyst.

Despite some tracks beginning to drop off, the persistence of the majority of the album's songs on the Hot 100 is a clear indication of Swift's massive following and the ongoing enthusiasm for her latest work.

As time progresses, it's expected that some songs will naturally fall off as newer releases make their entrance, but the strong showing nearly a month later highlights the album's resonance with fans.

Swift herself commented on the album's success, stating, "It’s expected at this point that whenever I deliver a full-length, every tune featured on it will find its way to the competitive tally of the most-consumed songs in the U.S."
