Taylor Swift Ties Whitney Houston for Most Weeks at No. 1 Among Women in Billboard 200's History

'Folklore' leads for a sixth week. Plus, Metallica and Katy Perry debut in top 10.

Taylor Swift’s Folklore collects its sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, making it the album with the most weeks atop the list in nearly four years. The set earned 90,000 equivalent album units in the U.S. in the week ending Sept. 3 (down 8 percent), according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data.

 

Folklore now has the most weeks at No. 1 since Drake’s Views ruled for 13 nonconsecutive weeks on the charts dated May 21-Oct. 8, 2016. Plus, Swift ties Whitney Houston for the most cumulative weeks at No. 1 among women -- more on that in just a moment.

 

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 Sept. 12-dated chart (where Folklore spends a sixth week at No. 1) will be posted in full on Billboard's website on Wednesday, Sept. 9 (a day later than usual, due to the Monday, Sept. 7 Labor Day holiday in the U.S.).

Swift Ties Whitney Houston: With Folklore’s sixth week at No. 1, Swift’s cumulative weeks at No. 1, across all of her seven chart-topping albums, now rises to 46. That ties Whitney Houston for the most weeks atop the chart by a woman in history

Swift Meets The Beatles: Folklore is Swift’s fifth album to log at least six weeks at No. 1, making her one of just two acts to have at least five albums each with six weeks at No. 1. Only The Beatles also managed the feat.

Slay! Finally tied Whitney 

The fact that some albums don't even last in the top 200 that long

Katy Perry’s new album Smile launches at No. 5 with 50,000 equivalent album units earned. Of that sum, album sales total 35,000 (aided by merchandise/album bundles sold via Perry’s official webstore), SEA units equal 14,000 (translating to 19 million on-demand streams of the album’s songs in the tracking week) and TEA units total 2,000.

Metallica debuts at No. 4 with the rock band’s new live effort S&M2, a co-billed project with the San Francisco Symphony. The set, which is a sequel to 1999’s No. 2-peaking S&M, bows with 56,000 equivalent album units earned.

Welp, 50k is inexcusably tragic, but at least it's more than Younger Now
