Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Taylor Swift‘s “The Tortured Poets Department” has spent its first eight weeks at the top of the Billboard 200 album chart — a very good number that looks to get better. It may not vacate the top spot any time soon, between the album’s still-blockbuster streaming numbers, the issuing of variants as an insurance policy on the sales side, and the apparent lack of any competing superstar releases before mid-August. So how long can she keep this streak going? And are there any records for consecutive weeks at No.
Taylor Swift superfan has delivered a weather forecast referencing the popstar’s many songs ahead of her gig in Wales.The superstar played for one night only at Cardiff on June 18, and to celebrate her arrival, BBC Wales had a particularly creative strategy.Weather presenter Sabrina Lee compiled a report crammed with Swift references for yesterday’s forecast: “Winds not too Swift and highs of around ‘Fifteen’ to ’22,’” she read. “At the stadium it should be ‘The Best Day’ and ‘Stay Stay Stay’ dry.
Zack Sharf Digital News Director Sabrina Carpenter revealed to Rolling Stone that Jack Antonoff worked with her on about half of her upcoming sixth studio album, “Short N’ Sweet.” The longtime Taylor Swift collaborator produced and co-wrote Carpenter’s latest hit single, “Please Please Please.” Despite working closely with Swift since “1989” and producing acclaimed albums from Lorde, Lana Del Rey and more, Antonoff’s name often evokes outrage on social media from critics who slam him for having a monotonous production style that has seemingly ruined their favorite artists. Such backlash went viral after the release of Taylor Swift’s “The Tortured Poets Department” earlier this year, but Carpenter has blunt words for the haters: “Fuck them all.” “Fuck them all,” Carpenter repeated.
