Taylor Swift’s ‘Evermore’ Arrives at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart
By Keith Caulfield
12/20/2020

Taylor Swift notches her eighth No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 -- and second of 2020 -- as her surprise release Evermore arrives atop the list. Her latest studio album earned 329,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Dec. 17, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, marking the fifth-largest week of the year for any album.

Evermore was released on Dec. 11 via Republic Records with little warning, and was only available as a standard digital download album (across traditional digital retailers like iTunes, as well as Swift’s own official webstore) and a standard streaming album. Its CD edition did not arrive in stores until Friday, Dec. 18 (so expect sturdy sales in the album’s second week). Cassette and vinyl LP configurations are due in 2021.

Evermore is the companion set to her earlier surprise No. 1 album, Folklore, which bowed atop the Aug. 8-dated Billboard 200.

The Billboard 200 chart ranks the most popular albums of the week in the U.S. based on multi-metric consumption as measured in equivalent album units. Units comprise album sales, track equivalent albums (TEA) and streaming equivalent albums (SEA). Each unit equals one album sale, or 10 individual tracks sold from an album, or 3,750 ad-supported or 1,250 paid/subscription on-demand official audio and video streams generated by songs from an album. The new Dec. 26-dated chart (where Evermore debuts at to No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Dec. 22. For all chart news, follow billboard and billboardcharts on both Twitter and Instagram.

Of Evermore’s 329,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week ending Dec. 17, SEA units comprise nearly 167,000 (equaling 220.49 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs), album sales comprise 154,500 and TEA units comprise a little under 8,000.

Eighth No. 1 Album: Swift continues to rack up No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, as Evermore nets the superstar her eighth leader. She’s nearing Barbra Streisand’s all-time record among women of 11 leaders. The only other woman with more No. 1 albums than Swift is Madonna, with nine. Among all artists, The Beatles have the most No. 1s, with 19. Among all soloists, Jay-Z leads with 14.

Second No. 1 Album of 2020: Swift is the first woman, and third act, to net a pair of No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200 chart in 2020. Folklore was her first, when the album opened atop the Aug. 8-dated list. Pop group BTS also managed the feat with Be (Dec. 5) and Map of the Soul: 7 (March 7), as did rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again with Top (Sept. 28) and 38 Baby 2 (May 9).

2020’s Fifth-Largest Week for an Album: With Evermore bowing with 329,000 equivalent album units, it collects the fifth-biggest week of 2020 for any album. It was bested only by the debut weeks of BTS’ Map of the Soul: 7 (422,000; March 7-dated chart), The Weeknd’s After Hours (444,000; April 4), Juice WRLD’s Legends Never Die (497,000; July 25) and Swift’s Folklore (846,000; Aug. 8).

Notably, Evermore’s first-week total units (329,000) and album sales (154,500) are the biggest for any album since merchandise/album bundles and concert ticket/album sale redemption offers both ceased to count towards chart sales as of Oct. 9. It’s also the biggest week for an album since physical albums bundled with a digital album could only be counted as a physical sale upon shipment to the customer (starting on Aug. 7). In the past, Swift’s albums, including Folklore, like many other albums, benefited from merchandise/album bundles and physical/digital combo offers. (Swift has never employed a concert ticket/album sale redemption offer.)

Remarkably, Evermore has the biggest week -- both in equivalent album units and album sales -- for an album that was only available as a digital download album and a streaming album, and without any bundles or physical/digital combo offers in over two years. The last album to post a bigger week with only a digital and streaming album, and no bundles of any sort (and no physical album either) was Drake’s Scorpion, when it debuted with 732,000 units (of which 160,000 were in album sales, all from its download album) on the July 14, 2018-dated chart.

Second-Largest Streaming Week of 2020 for a Non-R&B/Hip-Hop Album: As Evermore collected 167,000 SEA units in its first week, that equaled 220.49 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs — the second-biggest streaming week of 2020 for a non-R&B/hip-hop album. The only loftier week for a non-R&B/hip-hop set was earned by Swift’s Folklore, which arrived with 289.85 million streams of its songs.

Shortest Gap Between New No. 1 Albums by a Woman: Evermore debuts at No. 1 just four months and 18 days after Folklore opened atop the list dated Aug. 8. That’s the shortest gap between new No. 1s on the Billboard 200 chart ever by a woman since the tally became a regularly published weekly chart in March of 1956. Previously, the smallest wait between new No. 1s by a woman was five months and three days between the first weeks at No. 1 for Olivia Newton-John’s If You Love Me Let Me Know (Oct. 12, 1974) and Have You Never Been Mellow (March 15, 1975). Both titles spent one week at No. 1.

The last time an act had a shorter wait between No. 1s before Swift was BTS, when the group waited only a little over three months between Love Yourself: Tear (June 2, 2018) and Love Yourself: Answer (Sept. 8, 2018). Before that, Future landed back-to-back new No. 1s in successive weeks in 2017 (with his self-titled album March 11, 2017 and HNDRXX on March 18, 2017).

At No. 2 on the Billboard 200, Kid Cudi scores his fifth top 10 effort, as Man on the Moon III: The Chosen bows with 144,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, 127,000 comprise SEA units (equaling 167.45 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs), 15,000 comprise album sales and 1,000 comprise TEA units.

Swift’s Folklore flies 11-3 on the Billboard 200 with 133,000 equivalent album units (up 249%), as its album sales ballooned to 106,000 (up 742%). The set’s sales got a huge boost from sale pricing and promotion in Swift’s official webstore of the Folklore vinyl LP (in assorted colored vinyl variants) and a signed CD edition of the album.

With Swift at Nos. 1 and 3, she’s the first woman to have two albums concurrently in the top three dating back to 1963 when Billboard 200’s then-separate mono and stereo LP charts folded back into one overall chart. The last act, overall, to have two albums in the top three at the same time was Future, on the March 18, 2017-dated chart, when HNDRXX debuted at No. 1 and his self-titled album was No. 2.

As Republic Records is the home of both Swift and Kid Cudi, the label lays claim to the entire top three for the second time in 2020. On the Oct. 31-dated chart, Folklore was No. 1, Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon (released via Victor Victor Worldwide/Republic) was No. 2, and 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s Savage Mode II (released via Boominati/Slaughter Boomin/Republic/Epic) was No. 3. The label last achieved the feat in 2018, and is the only label to have held the top three since Interscope in 2003.

Michael Bublé’s former No. 1 Christmas is steady at No. 4 on the new Billboard 200 with 58,000 equivalent album units (up 6%).

Jack Harlow’s debut studio album Thats What They All Say starts at No. 5 with 51,000 equivalent album units. Of that sum, 48,000 comprise SEA units (equaling 66.21 million on-demand streams of the set’s songs), 2,000 comprise album sales and a little under 1,000 comprise TEA units. The album contains Harlow’s breakout hit “What’s Poppin,” which rose to No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated July 11.

Carrie Underwood’s My Gift dips 5-6 on the Billboard 200 with 47,000 equivalent album units (down 11%),

Pop Smoke’s Shoot for the Stars, Aim for the Moon descends 6-7 with 46,000 units (down 4%),

Nat King Cole’s The Christmas Song falls 7-8 with 45,000 units (up 8%),

Bad Bunny’s El Ultimo Tour del Mundo drops 2-9 with a little over 44,000 units (down 23%) and

Mariah Carey’s Merry Christmas is steady at No. 10 with 44,000 units (up 15%).

Amazing numbers for Folklore (133k) - only 11k from Kid Cudi. If she shipped all those Folklore copies and released Evermore a week later she could've had the top 2 albums.

[areyoureadytojump]

Didn't we expect the 4th Quarter to be boring? Ha.

[fridayteenage]

Hmm if She shipped only half those (with half this week), She still would've taken #3.

Yes but that would have been a little cruel to fans wanting to get the album by Christmas.

[HolidayGuy]

The track sales for evermore ended up being a little under 80,000; HITS had it at 60,000 and change.

The last album released with multiple 100k sales weeks was...Taylor Swift's Reputation.

[ificanthaveyou]

Anyone know what the largest digital sales week has been? Is 150k digital pretty big?

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^I would imagine 25's debut week would be the largest one. They didn't break down how many of its 3.38 million pure sales were digital sales.

1.64 Million Digital Albums: 25 opens with 1.64 million digital copies sold, a new single-week download sales record for an album. It beats the previous record-holder by nearly a million copies: Lady Gaga’s Born This Way, when it arrived with 662,000 digital copies sold in the week ending May 29, 2011.

Plenty. That's not a particularly crazy threshold of digital sales at all in terms of albums that have had 300k+ openings also.

Views, More Life, and Scorpion from Drake all did 150k+ digitally.
Reputation, Lover, and Folklore from Taylor all did 150k+ digitally.

Many of the bundle fueled albums that did 200k+ pure sales first week did at least 150k digitally, if the bundle was a digital download. 

[Baby Yoda Hot100Fan]

^Yeah. While the latter counted, it should be noted with an asterisk.

Taylor Swift & All the Acts Who Have Topped the Billboard 200 With Two (Or More!) Albums in a Calendar Year
By Paul Grein

One act has amassed four No. 1 albums in a calendar year. It’s an act that, for many readers, might not come immediately to mind.
On top of the many other records that Taylor Swift set when she entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 this week with Evermore, there is this: She is only the third female solo artist to notch two No. 1 albums in a calendar year.

The first two female solo stars to accomplish this feat were LeAnn Rimes, who had a pair of No. 1 albums in 1997 -- Unchained Melody/The Early Years and You Light Up My Life: Inspirational Songs -- and Susan Boyle, who doubled up in 2010 with I Dreamed a Dream (a 2009 carryover) and The Gift.

Swift’s first No. 1 album of 2020 was Folklore, which topped the Billboard 200 for eight weeks.




Taylor Swift’s ‘Folklore’ Back at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Chart for Eighth Week
In addition to these three female solo recording artists, two groups that included women notched two No. 1 albums in a calendar year; Peter, Paul & Mary, with the late Mary Travers, scored in 1963 with Peter, Paul and Mary (a carryover from 1962) and In the Wind. Prince & the Revolution, which included Wendy Melvoin and Lisa Coleman, scored in 1985 with the Purple Rain soundtrack (a carryover from 1984) and Around the World in a Day.

The Glee Cast, which notched three No. 1 albums or EPs in 2010, also included several women, including Amber Riley, Lea Michele and Jane Lynch.

The first act to land two No. 1 albums in a calendar year was Harry Belafonte in 1956: He was No. 1 the week the Billboard 200 was launched in March 1956 with Belafonte and returned to the top spot in in September with Calypso.

Rewinding The Charts: Billboard 200 Launches, With Harry Belafonte At No. 1
The first act to land three No. 1 albums in a calendar year was Elvis Presley in 1957. The King topped the chart that year with Elvis (a 1956 carryover), the Loving You soundtrack and Elvis’ Christmas Album.

Presley was also the first act to have three No. 1 albums in a calendar year twice. He scored for the second time in 1961 with the G.I. Blues soundtrack (a 1960 carryover), Something for Everybody and the Blue Hawaii soundtrack.

The Beatles were the first act to have three No. 1 albums in a calendar year three times. The Fab Four topped the chart in 1964 with Meet the Beatles!, The Beatles’ Second Album and the A Hard Day’s Night soundtrack; in 1965 with Beatles ’65, Beatles VI and the Help! soundtrack; and in 1966 with Rubber Soul, “Yesterday”…And Today and Revolver.

Five other acts notched three No. 1s in a calendar year, though they each just did it once. They are The Kingston Trio (1960), Herb Alpert & the Tijuana Brass (1966), Elton John (1975), Garth Brooks (1998) and the Glee Cast (2010).

One act has amassed four No. 1 albums in a calendar year. It’s an act that, for many readers, might not come immediately to mind. In 1967, The Monkees occupied the No. 1 spot with The Monkees (a carryover from 1966), More of the Monkees, Headquarters and Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones, Ltd.

The Monkees’ phenomenal success was boosted by their weekly sitcom on NBC that ran from 1966-68. The show won two Emmys in 1967, including outstanding comedy series.

Here, in handy list form, are all the acts that have notched two or more No. 1s on the Billboard 200 in a calendar year since the Billboard 200 was launched in March 1956 as the magazine’s first regularly published weekly albums chart.

Two notes: Throughout this study, we’re going by Billboard chart dates, not release dates. And we’re looking only at artists who had two No. 1 albums in a calendar year, going by Billboard chart dates, not at artists who had two No. 1 albums in any 12-month period.

BTS Earns Fifth No. 1 Album on Billboard 200 Chart With 'Be'
The Fine Print I: Simon & Garfunkel had a No. 1 album in 1968, Bookends. They had several songs on The Graduate soundtrack too, which also hit No.1 that year. (One album or the other was No. 1 for 16 consecutive weeks!) Billboard doesn’t count The Graduate as an S&G album. By the same token, Eminem had a No. 1 album in 2002, The Eminem Show. He also had several songs on the 8 Mile soundtrack, which hit No. 1 that year too. But 8 Mile isn’t counted as an Eminem album.

The Fine Print II: Paul McCartney had a No. 1 solo album in 1970 and also had two No. 1 albums that year with The Beatles. George Harrison had a No. 1 solo album in 1973 and McCartney had a No. 1 album as frontman of Paul McCartney & Wings, while both also had a No. 1 album that year with The Beatles. But that’s a little different.

The Fine Print III: Shout-out to the great Julie Andrews, who was the principal artist on two film soundtracks that hit No. 1 in 1965: Mary Poppins and The Sound of Music. The albums weren’t credited to her personally, however.

Holiday Shopping Sends Vinyl Album Sales Soaring to Another Record Week

By Keith Caulfield
12/22/2020

For the second time in a month, weekly vinyl album sales in the U.S. hit a new record high.

A total of 1.445 million vinyl albums were sold in the week ending Dec. 17 (up 9% compared to the previous week) – the biggest week yet for vinyl LP sales since Nielsen Music/MRC Data began electronically tracking music sales in 1991. The previous record week was set only two weeks earlier, when 1.253 million were sold in the week ending Dec. 3.

The top-selling vinyl album in the week ending Dec. 17 was Taylor Swift’s Folklore, with 23,000 copies sold (up 543%). Folklore got a big boost from sale pricing and promotion in Swift’s official webstore, where it’s available in assorted color variants.

The industry could hit another record high in the week ending Thursday, Dec. 24, as that tracking week will capture a full seven shopping days leading up to the Christmas Day holiday on Friday, Dec. 25.

Vinyl album sales have surpassed 1 million in a single week four times, and three of those have occurred in the last month: 1.445 million (week ending Dec. 17), 1.253 million (week ending Dec. 3) and 1.195 million (week ending Dec. 10). The other million-selling week came in 2019, when 1.243 million were sold in the week ending Dec. 26, 2019.

Was there an album sales article last week??

[HolidayGuy]

^Indeed there was: www.billboard.com/articles/business/chart-beat/9501370/white-stripes-greatest-hits-top-10-album-sales-chart/

[areyoureadytojump]

^Thanks. I can't find a god damned thing at the new Billboard website.

They destroyed their online charts and now the website.
