Taylor Swift Ends Kanye's Streak of Number One Debuts

“TORTURED POETS” Prevents Kanye from Extending Record

In a surprising turn of events, Taylor Swift's latest album, “THE TORTURED POETS,” has debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 chart, preventing Kanye West from extending his streak of seven consecutive number one debuts.

A Swift Finish

Swift's victory marks the end of Kanye's impressive run, which began in 2010 with “My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.” Kanye has since released six more albums that have all debuted at number one, including “The Life of Pablo” in 2016 and “ye” in 2018.

Swift's album, which features collaborations with several high-profile artists, has been met with critical acclaim and strong sales. It is her ninth album to debut at number one, extending her record as the only artist to have nine number one albums.

Other Notable Releases

Also debuting outside the top 20 this week are new releases from Meghan Trainor, KAYTRANADA, and Ski Mask.

Swift Recognized as Top Guitarist

In addition to her chart success, Swift has also been recognized for her musical talent. In a new poll conducted by UK guitar retailer Andertons, Swift was voted the eighth best guitarist of the last two decades.

The poll included a panel of experts who judged guitarists on their technical ability, songwriting skills, and overall impact on the guitar world. Swift was praised for her songwriting prowess and her ability to create catchy and memorable guitar riffs.
