Renan90 Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Taylor Swift’s ‘Evermore’ Arrives at No. 1 on Billboard 200 Albums Chart 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.

Taylor Swift's 'Willow' Debuts at No. 1 on Billboard Hot 100 As parent album "Evermore" opens atop the Billboard 200, Swift is the first artist to debut atop both charts simultaneously twice: "Folklore" & "Cardigan" began on top in August. Taylor Swift's "Willow" blooms with a No. 1 debut on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart. The track is her seventh Hot 100 leader and second of 2020. Concurrently, parent album Evermore launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, as Swift is the first artist to debut atop both charts simultaneously twice. She became the first act to achieve the feat even once when her prior album Folklore and its single "Cardigan" opened atop the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 charts dated Aug. 8. The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. All charts (dated Dec. 26) will update on Billboard.com tomorrow (Dec. 22).

Hector Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Quote 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umich Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 “TEA units comprise a little under 8,000” So she sold around 80,000 pure copies among all of the evermore tracks. Does it include website sales? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fridayteenage Posted December 20, 2020 Share Posted December 20, 2020 Quote 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.
