Taylor Swift maintains no. 1 spot on Billboard 200 for 10th week in a row

Swift's "The Tortured Poets Department" reigns supreme as female artists dominate Billboard's top albums chart.

Taylor Swift continues her dominance on the Billboard 200 albums chart, holding the top spot for the 10th consecutive week with her latest album, "The Tortured Poets Department." 

Despite her busy schedule performing three consecutive concerts in Dublin for her "Eras Tour," Swift's album remains a powerhouse in both sales and streaming.

Swift is now approaching a record set by Adele with "21," which spent 10 consecutive weeks at No. 1 in 2012. According to data from Luminate, Swift's album garnered 115,000 equivalent album units and an impressive 113.21 million streams in the United States alone.

This week's Billboard 200 showcases a strong presence of female artists. Gracie Abrams makes a significant debut at No. 2 with her sophomore album, "The Secret of Us," earning 89,000 equivalent units. 

It marks her first-ever top 10 on the chart and includes the track "Close to You," which debuted at No. 49 on the Hot 100.

Elsewhere in the top 10, Peso Pluma follows up with "Éxodo," entering at No. 5. This 24-song album features collaborations with artists like Cardi B and Anitta, contributing to its debut of 64,000 equivalent album units and 88 million streams.

Rounding out the top positions are Billie Eilish at No. 4 with "Hit Me Hard and Soft," Chappell Roan at No. 6 with "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess," and Ariana Grande at No. 8 with "Eternal Sunshine."

In the midst of these achievements, Taylor Swift's ongoing success underscores a broader trend of female excellence in the music industry, as reflected in this week's Billboard rankings.
