Swift’s dominance extends beyond streaming platforms. TTPD took the title of the best-selling album in the US for 2024 and also made history as the biggest debut on Amazon Music.
Estimates suggest it could sell 2 million copies in its first week in the US alone.
Among the standout tracks, Fortnight, Florida!!!, Downbed, and So Long London are currently leading streams on Spotify.
Critics have praised Swift’s latest effort, with Rolling Stone giving it a perfect score of 100.
Music journalist Rob Sheffield praised the album’s blend of Evermore’s folk and intimacy with Midnight’s synthpop elements, describing it as wildly ambitious and gloriously chaotic.
