Of The Tortured Poets Department’s 142k, album sales comprise 84,000 (up 606%), SEA units comprise 57,500 (equaling 75.43 million on-demand official streams of the set’s widely available deluxe edition’s 31 songs) and TEA units comprise 500. 

Poets’ album sales in the latest tracking week were bolstered by a number of drivers. The set was released in 5 new digital album variants for a limited time, each containing the standard album’s 16 songs, along with 1 exclusive bonus track for $4.99 each. In addition, for a limited time, the store restocked 3 previously available digital album variants with exclusive bonus cuts, and a signed CD edition. Her store also staged a brief sale pricing promotion, whereby 16 previously available physical variants of the album were all discounted by 13% (as 13 is Swift’s favorite number).
