If you were wondering why Taylor Swift kept dropping so many album variants... here it is.

Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department is now the longest running no. 1 album (12 weeks) in the US. Not since Whitney Houston's The Bodyguard soundtrack has an album spent 12 consecutive weeks at no. 1 by a female artist.
