Taylor Swift’s latest album “The Tortured Poets Department” is indeed the blockbuster that many expected it to become.
泰勒·斯威夫特(Taylor Swift)的最新专辑《The Tortured Poets Department》确实是众人期待的热门作品。
On Sunday, the 31-song double album debuted at No. 1 on the all-encompassing Billboard 200 albums chart, selling 2.61 million so-called equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending April 25, according to Billboard. traditional album sales (including purchases of digital download albums, CDs, vinyl LPs and cassettes) account for 1.914 million of that total, the publication said on Sunday.
周日，这张包含31首歌曲的双专辑在Billboard 200专辑榜上名列第一，根据Billboard的数据，截至4月25日的一周内，在美国售出了261万所谓的等效专辑单位。其中传统专辑销售(包括数字下载专辑、CD、黑胶唱片和卡带购买)共计191.4万张，Billboard在周日公布的数据中说。
“My mind is blown. I’m completely floored by the love you’ve shown this album,” Swift said in an Instagram post. “2.6 million ARE YOU actually SERIOUS?? Thank you for listening, streaming, and welcoming Tortured Poets into your life. Feeling completely overwhelmed.”
斯威夫特在Instagram上发文表示：“我简直不敢相信。你们对这张专辑表现出的热爱让我彻底惊呆了。”“260万，你们是认真的吗??感谢你们的聆听、流播，欢迎《Tortured Poets》进入你们的生活。我感到非常震撼。”
“Tortured Poets” is Swift’s 14th album to claim the top spot. She is now tied with Jay-Z for the second-most No. 1 albums by a recording artist, both artists being just a handful of steps behind The Beatles’ 19 top albums.
《Tortured Poets》是斯威夫特第14张登上榜首的专辑。现在她与Jay-Z并列，成为录制艺术家中拥有最多No. 1专辑的艺术家，两位艺术家都仅次于拥有19张No. 1专辑的甲壳虫乐队。
Swift also has the most No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 albums chart among female recording artists. The achievements are even more impressive when you consider that 14 of Swift’s 15 albums (11 studio albums + four re-recorded “Taylor’s Version” releases) have claimed the No. 1 spot. Her 2006 self-titled debut album peaked at No. 5.
斯威夫特还是Billboard 200专辑榜上拥有最多No. 1专辑的女性录制艺术家。考虑到斯威夫特15张专辑中的14张(11张录音室专辑+4张重录的“Taylor’s Version”发行)都曾占据榜首，这一成就更加令人印象深刻。她2006年的首张同名专辑最高只达到第5名。
Along with the album’s chart-topping performance, Swift marked her biggest first-week sales to date with the album. That honor previously belonged to “1989 (Taylor’s Version),” which sold 1.359 million copies in the US in its first week last year.
随着专辑在排行榜上的出色表现，斯威夫特也创下了她个人迄今为止最大的首周销量纪录。此前的荣誉属于《1989 (泰勒版)》，该专辑去年在美国首周售出了135.9万张。
“Tortured Poets” has the second-biggest single-week album sales by units earned (a measuring unit adopted by Billboard in 2014 to account for streaming’s popularity). In 2015, Adele’s “25” sold a staggering 3.482 million album units.
以单位收入计算。《Tortured Poets》是单周专辑销量第二高(Billboard 自2014年起采用的一种衡量单位，以反映流媒体流行的影响力)。2015年，阿黛尔的《25》售出了惊人的348.2万份专辑单位。
Swift also sold 859,000 copies of “Tortured Poets” on vinyl, which is the largest sales week for a vinyl album in the modern era, according to Billboard. Swift released six vinyl variants, with four variants containing a different bonus track each (“The Manuscript,” “The Albatross,” “The Bolter” and “The Black Dog”).
据Billboard称，斯威夫特还售出了85.9万张《Tortured Poets》的黑胶唱片，这是现代时代黑胶唱片单周销量最高的一次。。斯威夫特推出了六种黑胶唱片变体，其中四种变体各自包含一首不同的附赠曲目(《The Manuscript》、《The Albatross》、《The Bolter》和《The Black Dog》)。
