Taylor Swift once again has the No. 1 single this week as "Fortnight," featuring Post Malone, racks up its second week on top of Billboard's Hot 100, according to the magazine.
Elsewhere, Swift isn't quite as dominant as she was last week, when she held 14 spots on the chart, but her success continues to impress. This week, she has three songs in the top 10 with "I Can Do It With a Broken Heart" at No. 9 and "Down Bad" following at No. 10, with the tracks dropping from No. 3 and No. 2, respectively, last week.
While streams of "Fortnight" were down 50% to 38.2 million and sales dipped 68% to 6,000 units, its radio airplay audience impressions were up 7% to 33.3 million.
Aside from Swift, there are some new faces in the top five of the Hot 100. "Million Dollar Baby" by Tommy Richman debuts at No. 2; "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey checks in at No. 3, jumping from No. 27; and "Espresso" by onetime Swift opening act Sabrina Carpenter is up from No. 22 to No. 4.
Meanwhile, The Tortured Poets Department, the album featuring all three of Swift's current top 10 hits, is holding firm on top of the Billboard 200 for a second week on the chart dated May 11, with sales of 439,000 equivalent units in the U.S., according to Luminate. That's an 83% drop from its debut week, when the album sold a jaw-dropping 2.61 million units.
Even with the drop, TTPD had the biggest second week unit tally since 25 by Adele scored 1.162 million units in its second week in December 2015.
