Chart summary:
No, it's no illusion: Dua earns her 6th #1! Only Caroline Polachek (8) and Charli XCX (9) have more. Meanwhile Sabrina Carpenter earns her 2nd top ten, and the highest peak of her career with Espresso in at #2. The other big news is a huge Taylor album bomb, obviously. Ngl this is far from my favourite album from her but it still notches up her top ten total to 38, and with 102 chart entries she's the only person to earn more than a hundred (Carly Rae Jepsen is second with 72)!
I figured I'd do a quick comparison of how well Taylor's albums have done on my chart, so here's all the albums she's released while I've kept a chart along with their top 40 / top 10s each:
folklore: 11 charting songs (5 top tens)
evermore: 12 charting songs (6 top tens)
Fearless (TV): 7 charting songs (2 top tens)
Red (TV): 8 charting songs (4 top tens)
Midnights: 15 charting songs (7 top tens)
Speak Now (TV): 12 charting songs (5 top tens)
1989 (TV): 13 charting songs (4 top tens)
Tortured Poets Dept: 12 charting songs (2 top tens)
So in terms of top tens this is a bit more of a muted release by my standards, but it's still one of her biggest overall debuts!

Thanks for your comments last week!
Heya!
Oh that is fab to see Illusion reach your #1. Good ol bop! Based on its official chart performance so far though I am starting to worry about how the album will fare.
Florida!!! Was initially my favourite track from the album but that's quickly been replaced by The Prophecy. It's gorgeous.
I like the way you kiss me dropping the two places isn't too bad. A shame it has no chance of going to #1 officially though.
How did it end? And but daddy I love him are both great though the former not quite as much.
Who's afraid of little old me is one of my favourites. There are definitely no massive highlight songs on the album but it's all so consistent anyway.
Fortnight has grown on me so much since the albums release. I can see why it was the lead single now.
Ohhhhh The Prophecy is one you've actually charted. It's banging. Definitely my favourite at the moment and should open higher on my chart than any of the rest.
I look in people's windows is another highlight, for me at least. It's so simle yet effective.
Fantastic chart
ohhh Taylor Swift and Florence + The Machine Hearing mixed reviews about Taylor's new album so not sure what to expect
Hi there Ansel!
Nice to see "Illusion" at the top, the debut for "Espresso" and the Taylor debuts.
Great chart!
Take care.
