Thania Garcia Taylor Swift‘s “The Tortured Poets Department” holds the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s album chart for a sixth consecutive week.

The 31-song record blocks Billie Eilish from achieving the top status for a second week while also shutting out competition from Twenty One Pilots and RM, who land at No.s 3 and 5 in their debut week, respectively.

Since the debut of “The Tortured Poets Department” last month, Swift has put out over 20 album variants and new physical versions of the LP, but the album dominates this week with its strongest showing in streaming (133,000 units or 173.65 million streams, per Luminate via Billboard).

Touting 175,000 units earned, “Tortured Poets’” is the first set to spend its first six weeks at No. 1 since Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” led for its first 12 weeks a year ago last March (through June).
