Since 'The Tortured Poets Department' debuted, Taylor Swift has been on a record-breaking spree. Now, she is on the verge of taking over the entire top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 for the second time ever. If she pulls it off, she could make history by claiming the top 14 spots. In just four days, the album locked 602.3 million on-demand streams in the U.S., leaving Ariana Grande's 'Eternal Sunshine' in the dust. 

With this, Swift shattered her own record for the biggest streaming week by a female artist. On top of that, she has also become the first artist ever to have 45 songs simultaneously charting in the top 50 on US Apple Music. 'The Tortured Poets Department' arrived on the heels of Swift's six-year romance with actor Joe Alwyn and explored the fickle nature of love. Despite the wide claim and record-breaking accolades, the album has not been immune to critique.
