Taylor Swift starts off the new year with a return to #1 as her prior album, folklore, edges back into the Top 10. Republic and Interscope split the Top 6 with three titles eac

How many weeks has Pop Smoke been casually parked at #2?

Yikes at the #1 album moving 55K units. Numbers are really in the gutter right now.

So this week we will have only 1 album over 50k units.
There were only 2 weeks in 2020 where this happened (chart weeks: 27-Jun-20 & 11-Jul-20)
And the last time the #1 was lower than 60k was on chart week 16-Feb-19 (47,000) - "HOODIE SZN" by A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie
And now first fucking week of 2021. We are opening it right.  |

Here are today's UK album midweek numbers: 1 Taylor Swift - evemore (3.6k) 2 Little Mix - Confetti (2.7k) 3 Dua Lipa - Future Nostalgia (2.5k - 9 copies ahead) 4 Harry Styles - Fine Line (2.5k) 5 Pop Smoke - Shoot For The Stars, Aim For The Moon (2.2k) Surely Taylor is going to set a record. |

If I'm not mistaken, the SPS for Evermore would be the lowest for #1 album in the Billboard 200 since Hoodie Szn's third week at #1 with 47k.

Harry’s pure sales are absolutely insane after all this time. No doubt the vinyl release is a major fraction of those numbers. Would love to see him in the top 10 next week, but the album isn’t going anywhere, regardless, with more than 52 weeks in the top 20 and counting.
Very surprised to see how well Miley is holding up. But... what happened to Shawn Mendes? It’s like his album fell off a cliff. I’m sure they’re prepping an emergency re-release.

#2 and selling 400 albums is... Is exactly what you are gonna see when they publish the Year-End Report by Nielsen. The genre where Pop Smoke comes from had only 6% of total album consumption coming from digital/physical album sales (Mid-Year Report 2020).
The industry total for all genres combined had 12% coming from digital/physical album sales (hard carried by Rock(24%) & Country(14%) and other smaller genres, Pop is at 9%).
From then till now streaming has further increased, physical sales have nose dived, and digital album sales are on breathing machines.
So SFTSAFTM having 400 pure sales in its 27th week is not bad, just reality.
No need to downplay the success of other artists, becausse that album is the 2nd biggest of 2020, and when all is said and done (as soon as 6-9 months from now) that album will be the biggest album released in 2020.
It is not the 90s, nor 00s. 2021

Considering he put out two deluxe editions in the first week alone, I wouldn't be surprised to see a couple more thrown onto streaming services soon. |

It seems like evermore has a lock on #1 next week too - people can buy four digital versions of the album after all. And I think we're still waiting for these website orders to count...? |

Morgan Wallen is releasing his double album this Friday, so the #1 goes to him easily. |

My best guess is Taylor wanted some attention for the tracks and didn’t want to compete with new music Friday. Fan accounts on Twitter have been reporting for some time now that these tracks would be released today.
Either way she secured #1 this week if she hadn’t already.

She's also obsessed with numerology:
1/7/2021 = 13
See also the release dates for Reputation and Lover and Folklore:
11/10/2017 = 13
8/23 = 13
7/24 = 13

^Not to mention that she's currently 31 years old. As she pointed out, if you read the digits backwards, that's 13.
