Taylor Swift’s ‘Tortured Poets Department’ Tops U.S. Album Chart Again

Aug. 10 (UPI) — Pop star Taylor Swift’s Tortured Poets Department has climbed back to the top of the U.S. album chart after a two-week hiatus.

Coming in at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart dated Saturday is Morgan Wallen’s One Thing at a Time. Zach Bryan’s The Great American Bar Scene lands at No. 3, followed by Chappell Roan’s The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess at No. 4, and Billie Eilish’s Hit Me Hard and Soft at No. 5.

The rest of the top tier includes Stray Kids’ Ate at No. 6, Eminem’s Death of Slim Shady at No. 7, the Twisters soundtrack at No. 8, Charli XCX’s Brat at No. 9, and Noah Kahan’s Stick Season at No. 10.

The previous week’s chart topper was Ate, and the week before, the No. 1 album was Death of Slim Shady, which had dethroned Tortured Poets Department after it enjoyed a 12-week reign at No. 1.

In other news, Taylor Swift canceled several shows in Vienna this past week due to a foiled terror plot targeting her well-attended concerts. Three teens have been arrested in connection with the plan to drive bomb-filled vehicles into crowds outside concert venues.
