Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ Returns To No. 1 On U.K. Albums Chart

Taylor Swift‘s The Tortured Poets Department is back to the top of the U.K.’s Official Albums Chart, almost one year after it first broke records.

The pop icon’s 11th studio album vaults 23 places to return to the summit thanks to the release of a signed CD variant in celebration of the LP’s first anniversary.

On its original release in April 2024, The Tortured Poets Department broke Official Chart records, surpassing Adele‘s 30 to earn Taylor the biggest opening week for an album in the U.K. in seven years; since Ed Sheeran‘s 2017 LP ÷.

In its 336th week on the chart, Fleetwood Mac‘s enduring 50 Years – Don’t Stop compilation clinches a personal best; reaching a new peak of No. 4. It springs three stops this week, marking its first Top 5 appearance in six years.

It’s a career-best for Davido with his fifth studio collection 5ive landing at No.7. The Nigerian-American singer, songwriter and record producer, born David Adedeji Adeleke, previously saw Albums Chart success with 2020’s A Better Time and 2023’s Timeless.

Doechii‘s acclaimed debut Alligator Bites Never Heal breaks into the Top 40 for the first time this week. With its release on wax, the album also topped the Official Vinyl Albums Chart.
