Taylor Swift's latest album, The Tortured Poets Department, topped the charts with the biggest first week sales in seven years.

The 31-track double album surpassed 270,000 units in the UK charts in seven days, eclipsing his previous personal best of 204,000 for his 2022 album, Midnights.

The last time an album sold more in its first week was in 2017, when Ed Sheeran's Divide has sold 670,000 copies.

Swift now equals Madonna as the female artist with the most number ones in the UK.
