In 2024, twenty-four albums reached number one on the Billboard 200. The Tortured Poets Department , the eleventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, is the longest-running number-one album of the year with 17 cumulative weeks atop the chart. It broke several all-time Billboard 200 records, including becoming the first album by a female artist to spend its first 12 weeks at the chart's number-one spot. [1] It also earned over 2 million album-equivalent units in its first week—the largest sum of the year and a record seventh album by Swift to earn more than a million units in a week. [1]
