Taylor Swift creates Australian chart history with her new number one album, “The Tortured Poets Department.”

Taylor Swift has made Australian chart history this week after her latest album The Tortured Poets Department debuted at number one on the ARIA albums chart.

This incredible feat is the 34-year-old pop star’s 12th number one album in the country, placing her only behind Jimmy Barnes (15) and The Beatles (14).

Tracks from her new 31-track double album also fill out the entire top ten ARIA singles chart this week, making her the first artist in ARIA chart history to do so.

Her song Fortnight – a duet with Post Malone – sits at number one, while the other nine spots are also taken by tracks from her latest album.

Only two of her studio albums have not taken out the top spot in Australia, her 2006 self-titled debut (33) and its 2008 follow-up Fearless (2).

Australian fans have also been keen to get their hands on a physical copy of her new album, with TTPD’s vinyl sales also selling well across the country.

It comes after a review criticising Swift’s new album has inspired the ire of the American superstar’s fans.

The Tortured Poets Department, the latest hugely popular release from Taylor which dropped last week, was slammed in a news.com.au piece titled: ‘Taylor Swift’s new album shows one thing: She could use a break’.

‘Faced with 16-odd songs about her boyfriends and breakups, many listeners might be yearning for a return to the days of folklore and evermore, when Swift created fictional stories to illuminate her songwriting’ music critic Nick Bond writes.

The review continues: ‘”I know I’m just repeating myself,” Swift sings on My Boy Breaks His Favourite Toys. Listening to The Tortured Poets Department in full, one can’t help but think that’s starting to become a problem’.

Many fans of the pop star were less than impressed with the verdict, with several airing their grievances on social media.

During the early hours of Friday April 19, Swift dropped her highly anticipated new album, The Tortured Poets Department, alongside an extended double release The Anthology comprising of 31 tracks, which are filled to the brim with Easter eggs and references to her ex-boyfriends, past feuds and latest romance.

It is set to become the second album by a female artist opening with over 2 million units in its first week in the United States.

On her 11th studio album, the singer threw in brutal digs at Joe Alwyn and Matty Healy — lifting a lid on what really went down during their romances, breakups, and everything in between.
