Taylor Swift’s ‘The Tortured Poets Department’ complete tracklist
The finish line is in sight with the 11th studio album from Taylor Swift finally set for release on 19 April.
It’s hard to recall such a high level of expectation surrounding a new album, but on the eve of her eleventh studio release, Taylor Swift is on the cusp of breaking a myriad of records with the ‘The Tortured Poets Department’.
The record has already become Spotify’s most pre-saved album Countdown Page in Spotify history and should the release top the Billboard chart (as it’s comfortably expected to), Swift would tie Jay-Z for the most number 1 albums for a solo artist on fourteen, with only the Beatles having a better strike rate with 19 number one albums.
Her last studio album ‘Midnights’ currently tops the Spotify records for most streams in one day and everything points to ‘Tortured Poets’ set to eclipse the more than 180 million global streams.
