TOP 20: TAY'S FOLKLORIC RUN CONTINUES

Taylor Swift’s folklore (Republic) return to #1 this week for its eighth non-consecutive week. NCT, whose album dropped last Monday, will make a Top 10 debut on our chart. Sturgill Simpson and an expanded edition of Tom Petty's majestic Wildflowers are likely to land in the Top 20.

Great for folklore. For sure, it will have topped 1 million in pure sales after this week. It should have another chance at #1 the week its vinyl is released. The battle for #10 looks pretty interesting.

[fridayteenage]

Soundtracks aside, who has 3+ 8-week #1 albums besides, like, The Beatles?

I think BTS is releasing the week it’s vinyl is released, so I hear...

Yup, 981K to date. So 1M now. I guess this is the first to do since... Lover?
I'm not sure how close Billie Eillish is to 1M pure sales at this point

[iggyamo]

10 album sales for Internet Money? Has there ever been an album that sold 0 copies in the top 20?

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Coloring Book by Chance the Rapper since it was originally released to streaming only. I believe there was also a Latin Hits compilation that included Despacito that was streaming only as well. If somebody will confirm the latter and remind me what the name of it was. It was latter deemed not eligible to chart in the Billboard 200 if I remember correctly.

[TakeMe]

TS no.1 again...what caused the boost in sales?

[forg]

^ Signed copies on her website

WWAFAWDWG is at 927k according to oldbloke @ UKMix

Last album to cross 1M in a tracking year is 'Lover'.

Last non Taylor Swift album to cross 1M is 'A Star Is Born'

Last non Taylor Swift album to cross 1M in a tracking year is 'The Greatest Showman'

WWAFAWDWG is up to 927k in pure sales up not including the latest full week. Which probably means it will get there sometime next year.

Also, since Lover is at an estimated 1.218M, folklore could eventually outsell it. The latter would have managed to get about 85% of former's pure sales to date in 13 weeks of release while Lover would be out 61 weeks.

Are we saying
1 that every time she releases 50,000 signed copies, there are enough fans that are willing to buy them all the same day?
and
2 that at this point she has hand signed like 250,000 albums?

Gurl...

An album sold is an album sold. Fans have been buying multiple copies of their favorite artist's albums for decades and decades. This didn't start, nor will it stop with Taylor.

Congrats to her for the 8th week!

That actually kinda sucks for fans who want one signed copy.

They’re being resold for pretty cheap right now. I was able to get one for $30 which isn’t bad in my book.

EARLY TOP 20: LET'S ROLL ANOTHER JOINT

Friday, October 23, 2020

With nearly all the numbers in for our Top 50 chart, Taylor Swift holds a substantial lead over Pop Smoke.

NCT’s album, which was released last week via SM/Capitol, leaps onto the chart with a possible Top 5 debut. Thanks to some last-minute reporting, meanwhile, Tom Petty’s Wildflowers & All the Rest (Warner) grows into the Top 10. BTS’ re-issue of their 2014 album, Skool Luv Affair (BigHit), The Eagles’ Live From The Forum MMXVIII (Rhino), Sturgill Simpson’s Cuttin’ Grass (Thirty Tigers) and T.I.’s The L.I.B.R.A. (Grand Hustle/Empire) all look solid for Top 20 debuts.

For all the final numbers, check our HITS Top 50 later this afternoon. And don't bogart that thing; it's been quite a week.

Taylor makes it look so easy. No one else could just casually pull off 60k+ sales in their 13th week on the chart. Hardly anyone can get those kind of sales in their first week.

[fhas]

Congrats to Pop Smoke for another week with 85M+ streams. This is STFSAFTM's 8th or 9th week as the most streamed album. I feel like it's the biggest album of the year even though My Turn is still #1 on HDD's YTD Chart.

[Wave.]

Not BTS old album recharting.

It is

SFTSAFTM was released week 27, My Turn was released week 9.

This is SFTMAFTS 16th week.

My Turn got 1,179,000 SPS in the first 16 weeks (without album units from pre-released singles).

SFTMAFTS is at 1,540,000 SPS in the first 16 weeks (without album units from pre-released singles).

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Not to mention 1772k SPS for folklore in its first 13 weeks.
