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!
